There is no better example of the unethical, irrational, and questionable discussion than watching the circus of politicians’ debate during this election year in the United States. In the most recent farce by the GOP candidates in New Hampshire was quite a spectacle. One must ask where the rational, believable, and trustworthy politicians have gone, if there ever were any to begin with. However, the role that political leaders take on should involve respectable rational dialogue that can be trusted by the people who elect the officials rather than putting on a spectacle that is nearly as entertaining as ...

On January 21, 2010 the U.S. Supreme Court decided that corporations had equal rights as individual citizens with regard to campaign contributions during political elections.
