Looks like we are going to get the best politicians money can buy this election, but who is doing the buying? Congressmen having to ask leadership how they can vote? Campaign finance reform was a hot issue in last two elections, but it seems like a dead issue this time around.

John McCain thought the Democrats wanted to campaign on issues and not buy elections, remember McCain-Feingold. Well, guess he got fooled. Bill Clinton had some money issues in his campaign but fired all the federal prosecutors and his problems went away. I would guess that replacing all the federal prosecutors will be high on Barack Obama’s list if he is elected also. I’m thinking of voting for Ralph Nader; at least everybody knows he is a kook. They haven’t realized that about the other two yet.
