Political News NOW!

It seemed appropriate that it was snowing in Las Vegas.. Thursday morning, the 21st of January found me climbing off an airplane in Las Vegas. By the time the day was over Senator-elect Scott Brown was in Washington, Air America was dead, Keith Olbermanns head had exploded (twice), and Citizens United v. FEC had overturned a century of campaign finance law.

First of all let me clear up any possible misunderstandings: I do not accede myself a abundant writer/director. I accept no connections in Hollywood. I dont come from money or familial fame. I accept no patrons in politics. I dont accept a amount from some hot blur academy or Ivy League institution. Im not a genius or political wunderkind. And, I dont pretend that any of you accept seen the blur that spawned this Supreme Court case. So, what does that make me? I think that makes me about like best Americans..

Ive been fascinated by the furor and fury over the Supreme Court accommodation in Citizens United v. FEC. Its curious to be affiliated with, the best irresponsible accommodation by the Supreme Court since the Dred Scott decision. The left has screamed bloody murder about the annihilation of democracy. The left-brain has so durably fixed the abstraction that corporation = evil, villainy, torture (George Bush), into its autonomic system that a clear reading of the case and accommodation is impossible for them..

In fact, Goldman Sachs was his largest corporate contributor. The press screams about unfettered lobbyists as if they are the zombies from and yet fail to connect the fact that lobbying has seen its greatest proliferation under our present President (this from the candidate who promised to get rid of lobbyists). CU v. FEC represents everything wrong with America when viewed through the left lens. However, my experience as the director of the blur at the eye of the storm, does annihilation but reaffirm everything that I accept is good about America.. Even President Obama seems to forget that he crushed McCain in corporate dollar addition totals.

Making gave an opportunity to an unremarkable American to acquaint the belief of other, more remarkable, Americans whose lives intersected with Hillary Clinton. I didnt set out to create a blur that would go to the Supreme Court and change electoral/political history. I just wanted to find interesting belief from people not unlike you and me and record them. One of the best difficult parts of making a blur is deciding what to leave in and what to take out. With then Senator Clinton, that problem was exponentially magnified. One of the Clintons former associates declared them as a tornado destroying everything in their path. There was, indeed, a wide swath of destroyed institutions, credibility, and animal lives to sift through in the deathwatch of the Clintons. We could accept cut a weeklong mini-series with the amount of material we had. Rather we settled on a handful of personal belief from people not very altered from you or mepeople whose lives were crushed in the Hillary Clinton vortex..
