Ballot/Voting method reform is already in the works.I think it may be one issue on which we can all agree. Hope that soft money donations rules will be tightened up too. I actually have a place in myself that feels sorry for Bush coming into this already tainted presidency. That place is greatly diminished by the relish with which he smacks this shit-wad piece of soiled presidential gum scraped up from the sidewalk. The cowboy boots with the presidentila seal are an absolute obscenity. Juast the photo made me want to puke, iI felt I needed a bath. It makes me wondetr if he has presidential under-roos. A Renewed Push For Campaign Finance Reform McCain, Bush's chief rival for the GOP presidential nomination in last year's campaign, plans to introduce his bill to ban so-called soft money contributions on Monday. With the Senate now evenly divided, McCain is confident he has the 60 votes needed to break a filibuster in the Senate and bring his legislation to a vote. Bush, who fiercely opposed the McCain plan during the Republican primaries, is set to meet privately with the Arizona senator on Wednesday. "If you want to really change the tone in Washington, you're going to have to reduce the influence of special interests," McCain said on NBC's Meet the Press. "You'll never get meaningful tax reform until you — the tax code is 44,000 pages long — until you take care of the special interests. You'll never get an HMO patient's bill of rights, you'll never get prescription drugs for seniors, because we're gripped by the huge amounts of money that the special interests exert on the legislative process." To drive home his point McCain said he and his Democratic colleague Sen. Russ Feingold of Wisconsin plan to start a grass-roots campaign Monday in states whose legislators oppose his legislation. McCain also insisted his bill must be voted on by the end of March. "I believe we can work together on this, but we know that delay is death," he said. more.abcnews.go.com
