The full force of Citizens United is starting to take shape. Mitt Romney’s energy advisor, oil tycoon Harold Hamm, will be able to spend limitless amounts of money to buy politicians who will deregulate the industry.
Tonight, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) joins Ed to reveal how Mitt Romney and his billionaire backers are rigging the system for America’s millionaires and billionaires.
Darrell Issa is still going after the president for the "fast and furious" scandal, but the White House is firing back. Tonight, Sam Stein, Huffington Post political editor, helps Ed expose the latest attempt in the Republican witch hunt.
Detroit is burning: Motown could lose more than 150 firefighters because of a massive budget shortfall. But there is hope. Ed will have the details.
A Pennsylvania lawmaker says voter ID laws are going to deliver his state to Mitt Romney. Nice to hear someone on the right actually tell the truth about what they are doing, right?
The Big Panel -- Ilyse Hogue, Senior Advisor to Media Matters, Ari Melber, Correspondent for The Nation, and Susan Del Percio, Republican Strategist, MSNBC Contributor -- will weigh in on that.
Grammy award-winning performer Marc Anthony is backing President Obama. He joins Ed tonight to discuss the impact of the Latino vote this November.

we have always known this to be true. repubs know the less people who vote, the more it benefits repubs.
its nice to hear one of them admit it.
now it will be deny deny deny from repubs.
This is very sad. No more are we a free country........espeiallly when our supreme court votes against us.
Does the Citizens United decision mean the end of democracy in America?
•* - Yes
thousands, millions and billions , what ever it takes We want obama out. Save the nation. Or will end up like Stockton, California.
Even if it means destroying the country. So the Repubs can have their little corporate paradise.
These people who want Obama out are just like the ones who played in Rosewood. irisheagle, you are not the entire nation. Many of us want Obama to remain rather than have that lieing Romney leading the nation, but oh no you would rather have anyone but Obama. You did not vote for him in the first place. If and when Romney wins and he starts kicking your buttocks, like he wil, sit up and chew on it.-
Thank God the show is not on the other foot. Republicans would sell their families for political power. It will harm their families in the long run, so I hope they are proud of this when all is said and done. Makes me sad. Romney is not the danger, is is the dangers puppet. He will have no power either.

Romney a liar. So what do you call Obama fast and furious. And this is Executive Privilege he's hiding behind. Which no senate committee will buy into. You all don't forget, there's 20 plus Democrats on the committee planning contempt actions against Holder. If this develops. Impeachment proceedings should begin on Obama. This hole diabolic action made Nixon Watergate look like a Bingo Game. Obama never created one private sector job. He's a Socialist. He has zero knowledge on Economics, so how the hell did he get a degree.
You obviously know absolutely nothing about Watergate. You should find out what you're talking about before you make a bigger fool out of yourself than you already have.
As far as executive privilege goes:
When commenting on the Bush power play in rejecting White House compliance to the subpoenas, Rep. John Conyers, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, referred to [George W. Bush]'s use of executive privilege as "unprecedented in its breadth and scope" and displayed "an appalling disregard for the right of the people to know what is going on in their government." Clearly, through this very public act of defiance, Bush makes it no secret that he is intent on keeping secrets.
Let's review exactly what happened. The Bush White House found itself under the microscope of Justice Department scrutiny after allegations that staffers maliciously divulged the identity of CIA operative Valerie Plame. After this administration exhausted its customary deceptive countermeasures to deflect accountability for the 2003 outing of Plame, the one man that was left standing holding a bag of guilt was I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby. Libby was eventually convicted of lying and obstructing justice while being investigated for conversations that he had with reporters regarding the compromised CIA operative.

Obama is sooooooooooo desperate now, he just might offer free air fare for Asian Votes. Compliments of U S tax payers.
While the Republican crime family has to disenfranchise 5 million voters in order to pretend to win an election.
Mitt Romney is sooo desperate he hasn't offered any plan to fix Obama's alleged problems or failures......so what's the Romney plan? I've asked that many times to righties and have to receive a single answer.....
You are so bain just like you dumb stiff neck willard ...this is for irisheagle..
No the republicans are the one that are desperate. Look at how they act!
The race card is coming! Naa it's already here. Arizona, California. He's a good race card player. But a lousy problem solver.
And the Romney plans are?
Still waiting
irisheagle-
And you're a big dumb idiot. And yet you've learned to use a keyboard. Did they put one in your cage at the zoo?
The Pennsylvania state representative should consider working for the Romney campaign, he's almost as good as revealing secret motivations that people aren't supposed to know as they are. Remember the "etch-a-sketch" flop......
Republicans on the hill waste time trying to prove Eric Holder planned fast and furious by showing he knew about it before he said he thought he did......'cuz that totally proves Obama wants our guns.........Wait GOP I thought you wanted answers on what hapened on the program....which is why you haven't called the ATF officials responsible to testify right?
Menawhile student loan stop gap is closing this week and Boxer-Inhofe stays unaddressed by the House after passing by a 70+ vote margin in the Senate, analysts suggest this will help employment while the House version for the transportation bill will hurt that effort. Of course Congress is moving on neither one of those. The Postal Service, one of the most effecient parts of the government remains under threat because of Darrell Issa's idiotic privatization measure. So with all those serious issues congress naturally will go back on vacation at the end the week.
Mitt Romney continues to say nothing worth listening to........what are his solutions? At this point I'm not sure he knows the answer to that question. He has however found time to continue to lie on a variety of issues on the president's alleged failures of leadership while offering none of his own to speak of. What a leader, the guy who won't tell you what his plan is.
They would do anything to keep the democrats from voting..A bunch of losers...These republicans can not do things the right and legal way..They are corrupted evil doers...
Ed sure hates anyone that is successful and becomes rich due to hard work unlike himself who gets paid by a liberal network for his big mouth. Eddie talks about money but never mentions the fact Obama didn't whine when he outspend McCain 3 to 1. Now that Obama is being out raised due to his failures as President liberals are running scared so they have to find anyone to blame but Obama.
Right new name same old bull@!$%#. Just rinse lather and repeat hoping that will help Mittens and his magic underpants get into the white house.
Big Eddie comes across as pathetic trying to attack a person who went to college on his own and became successful and rich through hard work. Unless your a rich liberal like Soros Liberals like Eddie will always hate you for the success you have that they don't. And the other writer is correct - Obama thought it was great when he had the most money. Now that his donors are running away from him this time he is crying foul.
Well said.
The blind leading the blind. Walk off a cliff.
And you think that applies to Mitt Romney.......if you do you're a moron
Big Ed is full of crap. He also said Scott Walker would lose in a recall. You ever wonder why Fat Ed never has any "righties" on his show to debate him. That's because they will make him look like the Idiot he is. All the labor unions are wanting a refund from Fat Ed for all the money they paid him to build up the Walker recall. What a loser.
Ed never has any right-wing liars on his show because they know they won't get away with it like they do on Fox Propaganda. They're continually invited. They're just gutless.
The right said the SCOTUS would overturn Obamacare
First runner up for today's dunce of the day award...... loser
