Make political contributions illegal. Get the money out of politics... and then the Koch brothers are just some successful industrialists who build up the economy of america... instead of being that + people who buy off politicians.
But you won't see any politician try and pass a law to get the money out of politics because they are too happy getting the money when it's coming their way. It's pathetic rhetoric.
Does that mean Georgie Soros will be out as well? Add PAC's and Super PAC's as well as all other named or unnamed sources of that illegal money and you have a deal!
This would be the fault of Citizens United/GOP.
Guess who refuses to even allow debate of McCain/Feingold--the filibustering Senate GOP led by McConnell.
Soon, Sen. McConnell will argue for Citizens United 2.0 in front of the SCOTUS.
This should be an interesting dynamic to his Senate race .
This is the 2nd different thread you have tapped on me in the last few minutes.Nope not really

I'm not interested, since you speak past whatever I say and then go on your DEM bashing tour .

Then cancel elections and just have the CEOs of the networks vote.

the core issue here is that we have a system that can be purchased, and they are trying to purchase it.
if you want to fix the problem, address the structure of the system, not two rich partisans who are gaming it.

Control speech, control who can say it, and what they say - that's what you mean! Screw the first amendment if its not used to say what I want to hear.
Heya Cal. :2wave: Think the Koch Brothers can waste some Money messing with Harry here?

So we should create a class of citizens who are scrubbed from using their money to propel their voice because it doesn't fit with your agenda? Seriously? You can say that and still think you live in a free country?
i despise the koch suckers as much as the next guy
but if there is anyone on the demo side who should not be the spokesmodel flailing against lying and misrepresentation in politics, it is harry reid
and until we eliminate big financial contributions in politics, we will continue to have the best government money can buy
