They can't crush the grassroots

Yep, that's right. It's like trying to deal with or get rid of bitcoins. They don't understand where it comes from, and it's never going to go away.

The COC developments are follow-up to sentiments Wall Street expressed about their lack of control over the TP in this article from October, during the shutdown:

How does "shrinking the nomination process down to a tight four month window" work against Tea Party candidates?

How does "shrinking the nomination process down to a tight four month window" work against Tea Party candidates?

because it requires a lot of money up front. A candidate doesn't have time to personally get to know the voters, he has to pay for huge media ads and pay for campaign organization big money interests can supply up front.

Liberals have been pissed at the "Star Chamber" for some while now. I guess as long as we hit them from both directions.

[h=1]Scalia and the Chamber of Commerce: An Ugly Combination[/h]

The U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision in Citizens United v. FEC opened the flood gates for corporate dollars to influence elections. That means the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and its president, Thomas Donahue, must be salivating at the thought of manipulating our democracy even more than they already do.
Donahue & Co. are certain to be major players in the 2010 state and federal elections, reports Rebecca Abrahams at Huffington Post. She points to Mississippi as a cautionary tale that illustrates how the chamber stacks the legislative and judicial decks in favor of corporations–at huge cost to consumers.
