So you think it's a good idea that a guy with hundreds of millions of dollars can just buy himself elected office, huh? You'd really like Mexico, then.

Mexico? your reasoning is that of an envy driven liberal. What McCain, Hillary and other liberals are doing is trying to turn us into Mexico -- and they will use taxpayer money to win the office.

Let's say some billionaire who truly loved this Republic and wanted to turn back the tide of government. This person spends his own money spreading his message of cutting spending and eliminating unconstitutional departments. Furthermore, he is a great orator and people listen and decide to elect him and he succeeds. Would that be a bad thing? The simple fact that someone spends their own money does not make them bad or their intentions dishonorable. Mellon, a brilliant capitalist willingly used his own money to build many libraries across this land. I will never fault someone using their own capital in the marketplace of products or ideas. McCain and Hillary are parasitic politicians who have no understanding or respect for business owners. Have a good night.

How about this. A man with a lot of great ideas, talent, and political acumen but $100,000 in the bank truly loved the Republic and wanted to turn back the tide of government. He wouldn't have a prayer--and people like you would tell him "You don't have the resources to run. Don't even bother."

Real change is much more likely to come from just such a man than from any corporate elite billionaire. Take a tally some time and see where most of those types stand on the issues. Few of them are conservatives and few of them truly believe in capitalism. It's not for nothing that Christ said, "Man can not serve both God and Mammon."

If you're depending on the corporate elites to turn things around in this country, you're going to be waiting a long, long time.
