Ah, Republican Adam Smith - hadn't heard of him but that makes sense. I assume it is RAS who thinks Citizen United is a good idea, because the original Adam Smith expressed great concern of the Parliamentarians being influenced by dealers and corporations, warning it would undermine the Free Market, the government and society.

Hehe, love it! And I'm surprised I haven't seen it before. Over on reddit I used to tease obnoxious Republican supporters by highlighting how anti-capitalism the current Republicans are. It is surprising how few of them were familiar with Adam Smith's philosophy. Sometimes I teased them also on the Jesus element, but that quickly became too emotional.
