We need jobs and the Dems decide to work on campaign finance. Why? The answer ain't good.

The Citizens Untied Supreme Court decision of Jan 25, 2010, leveled the playing field on the issue of
campaign finance. The Dems know they are in trouble with the business community and are desperately trying to limit their voice in the coming 2012 election.

Think back to the State of the Union address, last Jan 27. It came just two days after the High Court decided that corporate political speech was Constitutionally protected speech. Obama was angry and blasted the Court's judges in attendance for the speech.

Why the anger? The Dems and Obama have spent their entire time in power, waging class warfare against the business community. A Bloomberg poll, taken at the end of 2009, revealed that 77% of the corporate community believed Obama to be "anti-business."

The Democrat Congress immediately began work on legislation designed to limit the effects of the Supreme Court's decision. That bill failed last summer. It would have demanded that corporate sponsored political ads identify those who paid money for the ads. The bill failed because, in part, it excluded unions from the proposal. That would have effected the midterms, being held just 41 days from now.

There is no hope for effecting the midterms with regard to the Dem's version of campaign finance reform. That battle has been fought and lost.

Now, they are concerned with the 2012 elections and they know that if they cannot limit the effects of the High Court's decision for 2012 and do that now, it will not happen at all. They are about to lose the control they have in Congress. So, at the risk of appearing totally detached, they have decided to - again - avoid the issue of jobs in a subtle effort at "stacking the deck" for the presidential campaign in 2012.
