What are you talking about? Getting money out of politics? Thats like getting white out of milk.
Reducing influence and it has.
For example, he himself has to go to public financing because unlike in the past, he can’t go and ask deep-pockets, 50K each or something like that.
Hildabeast is all tapped out by her 4,600 per pop donors. Now they are claiming she got 50K new donors in 24 HRs. I don’t buy it. They probably found a way to launder money through internet. Couple of years from now President Hillary would be answering questions and blaming Right Wing for laundering money today. I digress.
Small donations or public financing looks like the wave of the future.
If John McCain wins Al Qaida loses. You won’t see them dancing in streets of Baghdad. Lobbyist would lose too. Pigs eating at Public trough would choke to death as well.
NONE OF WHICH WOULD HAPPEN IF OBAMA OR HILLARY WIN.
Face it, you have to deny reality to EQUATE all three of them. You have let your anger get better off you. You want him to lose so bad that you have to find some justification, any justification, whether its reality based or not.
Nonetheless, that was the stated justification for the bill. And I fully agree that it is ridiculous to expect such a thing to happen. Want to reduce the role of money in politics? Reduce the role of government.
Reducing influence and it has.
Whose influence?
For example, he himself has to go to public financing because unlike in the past, he can’t go and ask deep-pockets, 50K each or something like that.
You should know that campaign contributions have been limited since 1975. "$50K each or something like that" has been out of bounds for over thirty years.
Instead, McCain is going the public financing route because he's confident he can't count on the Republican donor base that has existed in the past.
Look, I'm going to vote for the bum. But don't tell me he's something he's not.
A politician who would infringe on free political speech, sell American citizenship at a discount, vote against tax cuts or buy into the global warming scam is never going to be a politician I would enthusiastically support.
