If we're going to treat business entities like individuals and give them rights established for individuals, why not just let them vote?
"AND NOW, WE HEAR FROM THE DISHONORABLE SENATOR FROM THE FINE STATE OF COCA COLA!!"
Or, maybe...
"MAY I PRESENT TO YOU, THE SENATOR FROM THE NORTHERN SLOPE, THE BIG-ASS STATE OF EXXON."

In relation to Health Care Reform;
"If we're able to stop Obama on this, it will be his Waterloo. It will break him." - Senator Jim Demint (R) South Carolina
"Break him". "BREAK". "HIM"..
So, this is personal, Mr. Demint? While people continue to die from lack of health care coverage.
PEOPLE ARE DYING.
This kind of attitude makes you a collaborator, Mr. Demint. Your personal vendetta makes you an accomplice to mass murder. In the form of untreated diseases and illnesses. But, death is death. And you've got blood on your hands that increases with everyday you refrain from passing some type of reform.
And Mr. Demint? Your fine state still flies the confederate flag at its capital. And that's just fucking sick. You're a vile piece of shit.
