That went out the window Friday with the heavy lobbying by Big Gay. A better name for it is "Organized Faggotry". King of like "Organized Labor" (and just as damaging to America) but more disgusting.

Organized Labor is connected to Organized Crime.
Come to think of it, the Stonewall riots were a 3 day hissfit over police closure of an illegal mob run speakeasy.

There was no outrage from the Left when Barack Obama was campaigning around the world in 2008 raising millions of dollars from foreign interests (not merely overseas Americans).

Yes but that 2% and those who sympathize with them constitute a greater impact on and control of corporate policy decisions.

“Fairy tales can come true, they can happen to you,
“If you’re Gary Hart.
“Donna Rice may be nice, like sugar and spice,
“If you’re Gary Hart.
“You can kick in the tush a Gephardt or Bush,
“And the polls say you’re good for one last big push,
“But here is the best part, you’ve got a head start,
“If you are the one and only Gary Hart.
From 1987. Even stranger than Monkey Business was Sen. Hart receiving a direct appointment to the rank of Lt. Cdr. in the Naval Reserve, with no prior military service. The year was 1979 and Jimmah Carter was desperate to gain allies in the Senate, so he directed his SecyNavy to give Hart a commission.

("The Second Amendment is more important than Islam.")
To: Brad from Tennessee
What brought us to this? A sinister system combining staggering campaign costs... Campaign funds now go to feed an army of consultants (or strategists in the coinage of the day), media advisors, media producers, television-time buyers, speechwriters, schedulers, advance specialists, crowd raisers, and more specialized campaign bells and whistles than everyday citizens can imagine. Campaigning is a major industry now that consumes hundreds of millions of dollars and, in national campaigns, billions of dollars. Almost all of it goes to the media, the same media whose commentators regularly deplore the costs of campaigns. Repeal the 17th amendment and end Senate elections. Senate elections are 33 expensive elections that occur every two years.

We have to STOP with all this weak-kneed equivocating language.
Gary Hart: Americas Founding Principles Are in Danger of Corruption
How about "has been corrupted"!! All this "we are crossing the line", "maybe getting closer", etc., just obscures the fact that we are well over the line, and this will cause many to become complacent believing that the line has not been crossed. We need to plan and act accordingly.

They are corrupt but not for the reasons he states. CFR was a blot, not a help. Hart would probably like tax funded campaigns where the government controlled everything. Try and get rid of ANYONE under those circumstances. Unless the elite wanted them gone, they would be fixtures.
For the current situation I would lay the blame at the media that has long laid down and taken sides. They are political activists and the stuff Hart talks about is more about countering their free ride than it is about being its own corruption. It is a symptom, not a cause.

Good analysis.

There is little to be expected from the “DISTRICT OF CORRUPTION” as in Washington, DC. Populated with low life, venal, useless so-called representatives of the people. We elect them to do something for America and we end up with them doing it to America.
