evil_gop_liars Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 William Klein, a "hired gun" who has been enlisted as Murray Hill's campaign manager, said the firm appears to be the first "corporate person" to run for office and is promising a spirited campaign that "puts people second, or even third."

Chavez Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Hmmm. This is interesting. I wonder how far the guys behind this are willing to go; after all, corporation have been LEGALLY declared to be "persons." Unfortunately corporations have the RIGHTS of persons but none of the responsiblities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But on the other hand, getting rid of some lifer politicians for some people that have actually ran a business (hopefully successfully), might not be such a bad thing.

Good idea. Can he run for President right away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big John Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 (edited) Good idea. Can he run for President right away? They were founded in 2005. The constitution requires you to be 35 to be president (and 30 for the senate, so they would not qualify there anyway) Edited March 14, 2010 by Big John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are making their point (about the stupidity of corporations being people and the idiot Supreme Court actually expanding that stupidity) really cleverly.

Eh; I think if you look at the backgrounds of successful vs unsuccessful presidents, the general trend is that there is no trend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
