2. Congrats to Kerry but...

While Im happy that Kerry actually stands a chance of matching Bush dollar for dollar it sickens me that anyone needs to raise this kind of money just to run for office.

4. Unfortunately, Bush will spend millions...

...to secure 4 more years, to steal billions. All the while, his proxies will whine about "liberal groups" and "liberal media" hating on poor wittle Bush.

5. When we take the Presidency, House and Senate

we MUST!!!!, institute TRUE campaign finance reform. All television and radio stations must be required to give equal air time to ALL candidates free of charge. This is the most important aspect of reform. It simply has to happen for anything to change.

6. I wholeheartedly agree...

...but I don't think it will ever happen. :-(

7. If that is true, our democracy is doomed, imho.

:cry: I can envision no other scenario.
