Who was it that suggested they wear patches representing their donors on their clothes (like NASCAR drivers)? Would make it easier to see who bought them, don’t you think?

As long as the campaign has a public list of who the donors are this is not a problem. If you are running for public office then everyone should know where your financial support comes from.

The real change needed would be to limit political donations to individuals.

I gotta go but what paulie franklin just said is…

He who has the gold should make the rules.

Thanks no. We’ve already had too much of that.

The government has absolutely no business telling the voters how we are allowed to express our political views.

Political speech costs money.

Money IS speech.

Obama is a hypocrite. All politicians who complain about “special interests” are hypocrites.

Every politician has “special interest” groups that support that politician.

Every politician has “special interest” groups that oppose that politician.

Any politician who wants new rules and regulations concerning “campaign finance” is only trying to benefit one party or cause at the political expense of the opposition.

I and a million other small donors give to Obama expecting nothing in return except good leadership.

Obama is changing politics already . . .

When the government is broken, how can you expect the election system to not be broken, too?
