perfidy

Soros and now Peter Lewis are funding the Dems for millions, now.

I don't see the difference between the GOP, which is funded by a small number of wealthy people, and this tactic by the Dems (being funded by a small number of wealthy people).

Pioneers and Rangers, anyone?

It all amounts to the same thing.

This campaign finance thing is so goddamn easy to fix. Just place a flat cap on the amount of money any one television station or broadcast network is allowed to accept, per reader/watcher in their audited audience (from advertising). Each party must be given the opportunity to spend the same amount, but the total amount spent by all parties must be below the cap.

This will shift many campaign finance dollars into print and other forms (leaflets, whatever). It is good to at least partially abandon television as a medium for conducting democracy; it is a failure.

It will de-emphasize the role of money overall. The good effects are too many to name.

Another huge problem solved! Bring it on.
