On this we agree, but we have differing opinions on how to bring about change.That is exactly the problem. Soros money, Koch money, ALL MONEY influencing elections is the problem. The only thing that should decide who wins an election is American votes.
One thing history has shown is that more laws make more criminals. I don't think it can be stopped so transparency is a better tool. We can limit the power the central planners have and then their scruples and principles are worth much less.
I can be bought, don't know what my price would be, but I'm sure I'm not the lone ranger. If a bill came across my desk that didn't matter two shits to me how the vote came out and someone "donated" 10 Million to my campaign, I might care a bit more.
As we have it now, a Billion Chinese can donate 10 bucks a piece to an American candidate and nobody would know where it came from.
I agree that we need reform, can you agree that your focus lies mostly on the boogeymen of MSNBC? Your posts certainly bare that out. Your focus on the big donors of the right comes through loud and clear.
