This country needs to get real
Public campaigne finance is the only way to get the candidates to deal with the real issues. If the amount of air time was regulated, the amount of money spent on there messages was regulated, public debate would have to be the means of expression, thus THE TRUTH.

1. Yeah, Snot!
And, all the while, Air Force One could continue to 'fly the friendly skies' of the campaign trail!

Not against campaign finance reform, merely an educated 'pun-intended' on your "air time"! :hi:

2. Yep you are right
Public financing of campaigns and instant run-off voting would solve so many problems. Now I don't think with those two steps the Republicans would dissappear, but they'd be forced to be a lot more reasonable, beceause they would know their statements would be challenged.
