<<...How about some discussion on how to get rid of the career politicians and the old money that rules them...>>

THAT'S THE KEY...THIS COUNTRY HAS NEVER HAD SERIOUS CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM YET -- it's long overdue.

There is a BIG difference between Bush and Kerry.
Kerry takes no special interest money and Bush lives on it. Dont be fooled by the Nader type rhetoric.

ajonesy, I would be interested in hearing your thoughts as to what would constitute real campaign finance reform.

BTW, American Spirit's assertion that John Kerry does not take "special interest" money is not true. During the first three months of the year, almost 30% of Kerry's "coded" funding came from lawyers and law firms.
