A CENTER-RIGHT COUNTRY?

Not so much, really, and it's especially not a right-wing talk radio country. Most of the gasbags supported the SC decision to allow corporations and other entities to use more money in campaigns but that decision is even worse than the Schiavo fiasco.

A new Washington Post-ABC News poll finds that the vast majority of Americans are vehemently opposed to a recent Supreme Court ruling that opens the door for corporations, labor unions, and other organizations to spend money directly from their general funds to influence campaigns.

As noted by the Post's Dan Eggen, the poll's findings show "remarkably strong agreement" across the board, with roughly 80% of Americans saying that they're against the Court's 5-4 decision. Even more remarkable may be that opposition by Republicans, Democrats, and Independents were all near the same 80% opposition range. Specifically, 85% of Democrats, 81% of Independents, and 76% of Republicans opposed it. In short, "everyone hates" the ruling.

Left and right united my ass.

It was the right-wingers who supported this shit. The 5 judges that voted for this were all appointees of Reagan or Bush.
