There is no 'upwards of 45%'. 45% is the maximum.
No difference. Dah! Gumby, I now see why you are so influenced by and believe the "Liberal" propaganda on Citz United. Seriously.
OK, back to the OP Gumby. (Nut Again or anyone for that matter.....)
Since you have demonstrated your ability to google shet and skew the truth, show us where in the past 25 years of Citz United's existence they have actually influenced the tide of a National election. Show a viable source. Not a skewed or bias one. I know that will be a rather difficult task for you but please do try. Thanks.
Free College
See, you just don't understand the concept of paying taxes outta your ass and "Free". Perfect example of your skewed conception of reality.
It's NOT free.

Typical Progressive personal attack mode deflection. Right on Cue Norton. If the conversation does not roll in the direction that supports the agenda, then those that abide by the agenda MUST deflect it in any way shape or form for it to do so.
Prime example of how the political ideologies have NO open mindness. None. That goes for all Parties.
Bravo Zulu Norton. You are a good Sheep.. I mean soldier.

Well, Chief, I will say one thing that I suspect you will agree with - the high costs of getting a
driver's license, car, and insurance* keep the 'tards off the roads to a greater extent than here.
At least over there they both know and follow the law, which is honored here almost invariably
in the breech, to KEEP YER SLOW AZZ TO THE RIGHT LANE!

Hey Norton, instead of being a complete jerk off, go ahead and post up any time that Citz United has made a difference in influencing the National Elections the past 25 years they have been around.
Show a pair, really Norton. Quit being a fking whank sheep.

Upwards of = more than. Is your Google broken? Here, try mine.
In the context of the conversation, which was what you get for paying Germany's higher taxes, free college tuition is an accurate description.
Since you have demonstrated your ability to google shet and skew the truth, show us where in the past 25 years of Citz United's existence they have actually influenced the tide of a National election. Show a viable source. Not a skewed or bias one. I know that will be a rather difficult task for you but please do try. Thanks. Don't talk to me about skewing the truth. I have consistently shown you are either lying, making sh#t up, or just plain stupid.
Noone here is talking about disbanding Citizens United, the organization. The discussion is about overturning the supreme court decision from 2010.

They've always had horrific crashes, kinda hard to have a less-than-horrific at 100+, but you
may be right in that even tards can afford a car now over there. In general I find Euros to be
much better drivers than here, but then I live in Tardland so my opinion is rather jaundiced.

Your joking right Reilly? When is the last time you drove in Spain, Portugal, Italy and/or Greece?

Last fall in Italy. I didn't say they aren't loco I just think they handle their vehicles better.
Course it's a good thing they're only driving toy cars for the most part. So we had just got
off the train in Florence and about 6 blocks from the station I started to step off the curb.
Growing up in Chicago, and playing cornerback, has given me excellent SA and peripheral
vision. A car whipped up on my left to turn right into my path but he slammed on his Brembos-
it was a chauffer in a Bentley Conti GT. I wasn't in a hurry so I waved him on with a smile.
He gave me a big smile and a wave. I love Italians - they can't run a country worth a sh!t,
but nobody's perfect.

My hometown Reilly. I actually learned how to drive there when I was 14. My Uncle would maneuver these typical streets at well over 35mph.

You haven't driven with me! IMHO, the motos are the locos cause they'll take to the sidewalk
to get around a holdup.

KEEP YER SLOW AZZ TO THE RIGHT LANE!
Since we're now into complete thread (if not four-wheel) drift, the above statement has great truth. When I was in grad school, I did some econometric studies to try to determine if changes in fuel prices affected vehicle safety. In the process, it became clear that speed limits had no statistically significant correlation to safety. Even absolute speed driven correlated very little with safety, although basic physics says that the kinetic energy absorbed in a crash increases with speed.
The only variable involved with speed that mattered significantly was relative speed compared with the speed of traffic. Slower vehicles in the right lane is a good start (I always believed in the motto "If you're passed on the right, you're wrong," rather than the anti-speed version). A better strategy is to get the slow cars off the road entirely. Someone travelling just five mph below the speed of traffic is ten times as likely to be involved in a collision as someone travelling at the speed of traffic. In contrast, you need to be travelling 10 mph over the speed of traffic to run the same risk as travelling 5 mph below it.
Sorry for the OT rant, but the garbage I hear (and see reported) about highway safety needs to be exposed as such.

Most aamof "hate" the government and abide ONLY by the laws and rules of their Nation.
Oh, you mean they HATE the US Gov't, but LOVE LOVE LOVE their OWN gov't.
Well, what do you expect of foreigners? Since they have their own nation and sovereignty?

Ah, MAYBE Ken M can answer the million dollar question.
What clear evidence is there that any one of the National Elections in the past 25 years was ever swayed by the Citz United?
Please do post it up.
Still waiting for any of you Citz United hating folks do so.
Also be very curious to see how much "influence" GE, Microsoft and a slew of other "Green" Corps including many associated with George Soros had in the last two National Elections and getting Obama in the House.

Again you're not grasping the topic. This about the Supreme court decision, not the organization. I do see now what you meant when you asked about the difference between CU and occupywallstreet. Yes they are similar, but it is irrelevant to the conversation, which is not about the organization, but is about the the Supreme Court's decision.
Trying to say it's about the organization is just drawing attention away from Citizens United (the court decision).
Now what was this thread about again?
