Of course, CONservatives say that big campaign contributions from their corporate pimp daddies equals free speech. Free speech costs MILLIONS in campaign ads, transporting the candidate, literature, paying for rallies, etc.

Do they think their interests are the same as that of the Koch brothers, Goldman Sachs, and other plutocratic pashas? Either they are not too bright or Cruz thinks they’re dim.
