And seeing that the country is split down the middle, that isn't too easy.

Obviously that will never happen.

I am pessimistic about the prospect of ever stopping the big spending and buying of votes.

To recap: CFR is stupid. Root of the problem is the unlimited money avail to Beltway Bandits of either party. Making an electoral issue of stopping it won't work.
