That's what YOU are doing, in MY real world, the SCOTUS ruled on this and that is the end of it. YOU are the one who wants to debate something they have already ruled on, as if your opinions matter now! I think it's OBVIOUS who is living in the real world, and who is living in fantasy land!
Grow up, genius. This is America, that means citizens can and do contest laws, rulings, etc. Maybe you were asleep in civics class, maybe you don't know what happens to countries that just follow rulings of their gov't without question. TFB for you if your beliefs are challenged.....if you can't take it, then don't discuss things with others....just shove your head further up Rush Limbaugh's fat ass, and you'll hear exactly what you want.
Corporations don't make profits or anything else, they are completely powerless to do anything of their own volition, they can't make money, they can't vote, they can't speak, they can't drive, they can't marry, they can't work, they can't play, they can't shit, they can't walk, they can't even be sustained on life support systems! Corporations have
NO power of their own!
NONE! If a "profit" is made, it is done solely by INDIVIDUALS! If funding is given for political reasons, it is done specifically by INDIVIDUALS! NOT CORPORATIONS! THEY HAVE ZERO POWER TO DO ANYTHING!
Well toodles, in the real world corporations make profit, employ people, finance projects and small businesses and research, create brand names & products, copyrights, pay taxes, control small levels of infrastructure in some instances, etc., etc. Corporate logos ensure that any product or research financed or sponsored or created by them garners profit solely for them. And when the original founders, board members and worker die, the corporate name lives on....OTHER people buy that corporate brand in some cases. The "corporation" lives on IN LEGAL DOCUMENTS IN NAME, not that of the current board members.
You should have read ALL the material I sourced as well as the SCOTUS ruling you kept throwing in, toodles....they pretty much contradict your rant here.
Again.... Aside from the fact that Corporations can't sign checks... Some corporations are very small... I own a corporation myself, and I venture to say it is probably worth less right now than what the average American makes in a year. So your description of a corporation is totally inaccurate and without basis.
Wrong as usual....for nearly a decade I processed contracts by investment bankers were the client would be identified by the corporate name, and the contract would instruct the reader as to what the corporate name did, what it wanted, and what the bankers would do for it. Whomever was the current legal authorization for the corporation signed the contract could change (and sometimes did), but the CORPORATION was the client.
I've read the entire ruling, and I don't see one word about Corporations being considered people.... can you cite the specific paragraph that is in?
Ahhh, so if you don't see the words, "corporations are people too" then that wasn't one of the results of the ruling? Jeez, not much of a business man, are ya bunky? 
Because any good lawyer will tell you that there are several ways to make a statement besides the painfully obvious one. That's why I specified pages 4 & 5 and the cases they sight.
No, you had McCain-Feingold to insure that SOME people were shut out of the political debate by STIFLING their FREEDOM OF SPEECH! That is what you HAD... Now, you DON'T! Got it, Skippy?
Really? And were in McCain-Feingold said that YOU couldn't donate to a campaign, because it doubled hard money donations, right? What it banned was corporations and unions using their funds to run "ADDITIONAL" campaign broadcasts within 30-60 days of election to what the party they were donating to was doing. So what you're pissed about is the "edge" on a crucial aspect was taken away. TFB....if a level playing field isn't to your liking, move to a country were your money is more influential.
I don't need a pinhead explanation of what I already know, but thanks anyway!
Spoken like a true willfully ignorant neocon blowhard!
My fucking dog could do it better than YOU could, chicklet! Again... I don't need your links... the case has been heard, and it will be a LONG ass time before the SCOTUS hears it again! In the meantime, you just keep on railing against free speech! I think you are literally BURYING your party permanently.
Kudos!
