unfortunatly money is the mother's milk of politics in this day and age.
That is why I think campaign finace reform is needed. I just do not agree with some aspects of the specific bills.
I am all for the concept just have a problem with some of the implimentation.
Take issue ads. They are not supposed to be "tied" in with a candidates message. We all know there is no collusion there at all. How do we appraoch this problem and allow free speech. It is very dicey.
Of course If the People in in all thier wisdom ignored the attack ads and voted for the guys that only talked issues and did not get a 3rd party to attack the other guy with negative ads then it might change.
Money buys air time and high priced guys to frame the opposition in a negative way and they do it becuase it works. people buy that stuff right off the shelf. Call the other guy a witch and if you cannot do it then get an ally with deep pockets to do it.
