What do you think of Nancy Pelosi's "Stop Stephen Colbert" video?

Asked by ETpro (34605points) February 11th, 2012

Believe it or not, this Nancy Pelosi video has gone viral on YouTube. For the serious-minded among our Jelly population, it’s humor, floks. It’s joining in with Colbert’s satirical criticism of the Citizens United decision that Corporations are people and money is speech. But it’s dead serious message is about getting vast special-interest money back out of politics. I think that message is fundamental to preserving liberty itself. If Citizens United is allowed to stand as is, we will soon be a pure corporatocracy. The only “people” who will have any real voice in how we are governed will be the largest of multinational corporations. And since a corporate CEO’s job is to maximize profits, these “people” will use government policy to enrich themselves at the expense of everyone else.

What say you? How can we take our democracy back?
