Rehberg Believes Corporations Are People Too

in 2012 Senate Race, Denny Rehberg, Jon Tester, Max Baucus, Montana Politics

Senator Tester and Senator Baucus are standing up for Montana’s law and the relatively obvious idea that free speech rights attach to people, not multinational corporations, reports KXLH’s Marnee Banks.

Denny Rehberg - Caricature

Representative Rehberg, on the other hand, likes the idea of massive corporate polluting the electoral process:

Congressman Denny Rehberg won’t support the amendment. He says a healthy democracy is made up of many voices.

“I don’t think we should deny people their Constitutional right to free speech just because they’re part of a corporation instead of a different form of organization like a non-profit, a campaign or a union,” Rehberg says.

It’s probably not too difficult to understand why Rehberg feels this way, give the reciprocal love he enjoys with corporations of all kinds.

In another note, Rehberg claimed that he believed that “all campaign contributions should be posted online within 24 hours.”

Well, then, Mr. Rehberg, why don’t you do it? It seems that a man who believes in transparency and immediate disclosure of campaign contributions should the lead and start doing it.

The very crux of your writing whilst appearing agreeable initially, did not sit very well with me after some time. Somewhere throughout the paragraphs you actually managed to make me a believer but only for a while. I still have got a problem with your leaps in assumptions and one might do well to fill in all those gaps. In the event that you actually can accomplish that, I will definitely end up being impressed.
