INDIANAPOLIS - Indiana"s six-term Republican Sen. Richard Lugar Richard Lugar will be saying good-bye to his constituents this year, having losthis primary bid on Tuesday to Tea Party challenger RichardMourdock. Indiana"s State Treasurer, Mourdock, is a self-proclaimedicon of rigidity and gridlock. "I don"t thinkthere"s going to be a lot of successful compromise,"Mourdock told CNN, "Hence, you have the deadlock we have today." Mourdock"s willingness to admit that he is more than ready tomake Washington even more dysfunctional, raises questions as to howhe won the primary, given the overwhelmingly bad poll numbers thepolarized Congress has been getting since the Tea Party storm of2010.

The answer may lie in money. Super PACs,, which have been spendingmillions to win local elections, are mostly funded by radicalconservatives who see Citizens United as their big chance tofinally takeover the government with legal bribes. Once they haveenough lawmakers in their pockets, they can use them to remold thecountry in the image they want. It will likely lead to the world ofRep. Paul Ryan Paul Ryan , who is determined to end Social Security, Medicare, food stamps,environmental safety and protection, workers rights, unions,Medicare, college education assistance, and virtually every othergovernment program that does not include defense spending.

Mourdock represents more than the influence of money in U.S.elections. He proudly preaches his version of democracy, which ismore like a gang-dictatorship, where he hopes,"bipartisanship will be defined as Democrats backing theRepublican agenda." In other words, the people who voted foryou have no voice, and the only thing that matters is what I want. The concept of "gang dictatorship" government replacingdemocracy is a scary one, for those who recall the protests of the1960s, when a loud voice brought change designed to benefit ageneration looking for a better, more peaceful future. However, as a handful of millionaires have now begun todemonstrate, U.S. elections can be bought by simply brainwashingvoters with clever, it not false, television advertising.

As the moderates leave Washington one by one, it further assuresthat governing by consensus and compromise is a thing of the past,and representative democracy leaving with them. Without a doubt, Citizens United has changed more than elections inAmerica. It has taken more power out of the hands of the many, andplaces it squarely in the hands of a powerful few. The poor and middle class do not have lobbyists, and are thereforelosing their voice in their government, all because they believewhat they hear in biased political advertising, instead of lookingaround and believing what they see. A vote for ever-shrinkinggovernment is a vote against their own economic interests.
