Between the two presidential candidates they have raised nearly $750,000,000.00!!! Obama nearly Two to One over McCain.
This in an economy that is in tatters?
What better things could be done with that kind of dough. Obama could be building a lot of homes for a lot of poor folks with his contributions.
The election to President should be fully public funded and a cap on each candidate. This would eleminate the necessary pay-offs that politicians endlessly make to their contributors, and would make the election cycle so much lower too.
In Canada they recently voted for their Government, the entire election cycle was 5 weeks. People there have to be informed about their politicans all of the time, not just when the scoundrels are begging for their jobs.
This system is idiocy and the result is a nation of unthinking fools electing bigger fools to lead them around.
