So you are for politicians in taking more of our money to run in elections?

Not sure what you mean by "taking." If you mean "accepting donations," then my answer is yes.
I'm opposed to public financing of campaigns. That's just welfare for politicians.
If I was writing the Campaign Finance laws from scratch, I'd allow unlimited contributions and spending, with full and immediate disclosure of donors. I'd prohibit all foreign money.
I'd also get rid of the matching funds altogether, and remove that option from your tax forms.

Ok .. what's the difference from taking and accepting our tax dollars??

BTW .. any chance you are a lawyer?

If you are against it .. how is it that above you said you are for "accepting" it??

So then I guess you don't have a problem with George Soros donating 15 million to get Bush out of office?

I could be wrong .. but when were people forced to take the funds or mark the option on their tax return?

If I recall it's an option ... a choice
