Yep, he should absolutely reject backers with money and influence...

(Is the < /sarc > tag really necessary?)


What part of "Those that pay for the ride, control the ride" don't you understand?

Does that indicate that you believe that huge donors should get anything they want from politicians, regardless of the effects upon the rest of the population?

ALL POLITICAL DONATIONS SHOULD BE ANONYMOUS. Requiring anonymity of donors leaves them the option to give to the party or candidate whose policies best suit their needs or desires. It makes it necessary for the politicians to make clear their positions on a range of issues to appeal to a wide range of donors.

Lobbying should be done on a similar basis; asking that legislation be passed or policies be instituted is fine, but the identity of those requesting it remains unknown to the legislators. The "Payoff Prevention Act", if you will.
