When I saw the spin being spun in the news today I 'bout puked and didn't read any of it. <br /><br />The guy is a total tool...and unfortunately that goes for most current members of Congress. <br /><br />There was an interesting convo on Eschaton this afternoon about how to control election $$. One contribution:<br /><br />What i think: that little box we check when we pay our taxes? that's all the money that should be spent on political campaigns. we should also mandate that teevee has to show so much political campaign time, limited to about 6 weeks before elections, for all qualifying parties, equally. and no more. every state should allocate a small fraction of a percentage of their budgets for political campaigns, which is distributed equally among all state candidates. i know this will take a Constitutional Amendment to accomplish, but i think it's time. I'll add that web based political ads should continue to be unregulated, and that "issue advocacy" advertising on teevee should also be highly regulated.<br /><br />chicago dyke<br /><br />We can dream, can't we? It's either control the terms or control the money. I also don't think that there should be pensions offered to elected officials. Elected Office shouldn't be a damned career.Nancy Willinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05874107554093904872noreply@blogger.com
