18. But how do you syop billionaires
like George Soros from spending tens of millions of dollars to elect Bush or defeat Bush?

Isn't that the bigger problem than millions of people donating $ 20 or $ 2,000 to Bush or Dean?

I thought the campaign finance laws were supposed to keep the big money out and limit donations to $ 2,000, then I hear about Soros and his $ 10 million, and Indian tribes giving away millions. And this is after campaign finance reform passed! It's pretty discouraging.
