So fears over Citizens United was GREATLY overblown, yes?

Also, to reiterate the point I made earlier, speech (in this case money) is never the problem.  It is peoples' reactions to that speech that is the issue.  If people are swayed by politcal spending, that is not the fault of the spending, it is the fault of the uninformed individual.

True, although we're not even talking about money, really. We're talking about actual speech. Donations to candidates are still capped.

But it's a silly argument, anyway. Ask any Democrat how many millions of dollars worth of ads they'd have to watch before they'd have voted for Mitt Romney.

Yeah, but the reach of the speech is proportional to the money donated, which is what democrats seem to have a problem with.  To me it doesn't matter though.  If you are speeking with your mouth, your art, or your wallet, its all the same.
