Scott Keyes, ThinkProgress: ''Eight in 10 Americans believe that there is too much money in American politics, and only 17 percent agree with the Supreme Court that corporations should be allowed to spend unlimited money to try to influence elections. Yet top Republicans are coalescing around the idea that current campaign finance laws, which still prohibit corporations and wealthy individuals from giving unlimited money directly to campaigns, are actually too restrictive.''

Grand, Old Psychos

Steve King, Truthout: ''I used to love Republican politics. I have always admired the Republican primary process for the way its leaders and frontrunners, unlike the Democratic primary candidates, seem to draw energy, support and money by being less politically correct than the next guy?. However, over the last several years, Republican political rhetoric has mutated into a kind of trickle-down insanity that has more and more translated itself in random acts of violence.''
