"My heart aches" for struggling Americans

I suspect that campaign finance reform would be found unconstitutional. We're kind of in a damned if you do ---- damned if you don't situation.

Government spending is crack cocaine - and addicts will take extreme measures to support their habit.

There's just as many big business addicts as there are street-corner bums.

It's unfortunately a problem that can't be solved with the current constitutional, economic, and power structures.

Now that I ranted, I'm going back to this month's edition of [url=http://www.backwoodshome.com:1970h1ww]Back woods Home[/url]

If you do limit campaign donations, does it start to go under the table?

"Please vote yes on this bill and I do have the number of your bank account in Brazil."

Or the Chicago way where a local official died and when they went to his house and found shoeboxes full of cash.

Campaign finance reform is not enforceable, and likely unconstitutional.

Greed and lust for power are both perfectly normal and acceptable.

I think the champions of finance reform are well intentioned, but naive.

Todays congress is about getting in, getting your pie and screw the rest of the country.

My dad said if you want to be taken care of the rest of your life get into politics.

More reasons why campaign finance reform is a dead issue? The media loves the cash infusion. I haven't seen this year's numbers but 2 billion dollars is significant media spending and made Clear Channel a lot of money.

I would ask why anyone who thinks they are smart is an employee?

Some have been an employer, and eventually got tired of the amount of time, money, and energy they had to devote to dealing with BS rules and regulations, and decided that it wasn't worth the hassle.

If you have ever had employees, and dealt with all the hassle, in addition to risking all you own, you would understand.

My doctor just did that, shut down his office and became a hired gun for Exempla. Too much goverment and insurance company crap to deal with.
