Another story was about American corporations secretly and invisibly sending tens of millions of dollars to right wing political candidates. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce will fund to the level of $50 million before they are finished. Who specifically gives that money is a secret. Who will ever know?
So, these CEO's and Boards are much like drone pilots. They are invisible but the nature of their work is deadly. Drone pilots kill mostly bad guys(and more than a few innocents.) And corporate America kills democratic institutions through secret and corrupt funding of candidates who will vote as instructed. Where does this leave our American Citizens? We will know in a few years.

Great analogy!
Agreed also: Albuquerque Journal reading time is 15 minutes or less. I refuse to subscribe, but read my sister's copy when I visit.
Excellent.
I clicked on the Facebook link and sent your commentary sailing off into cyberspace, I think and I hope. I agree with the previous commenter and am glad they knew how to spell analogy.
I just keep wondering whether the current polls will mean anything at all once all those millions start showing up as vicious TV attack ads designed to drive up Obama's negatives.
I feel as if there's a lynch mob coming, and dread waking up the morning after.
I was seriously convinced I wouldn't let the Republicans frighten me into voting for a Democrat again, now I'm seriously frightened that they might.
