We’ve tried all kinds of ways to impose spending limits, but even John McCain, who has championed that issue for years, opted out of the public financing system this year – to raise billions to run for president.

The people need to stop supporting the media who focus on celebrity, and help create an alternative economy for the real free Web press where we bring real pressure to bear on government and business.

That’s what I think. But then, I’m planning a trip to the coast to follow Karl Rove around with a camera at Rosemary Beach. I wonder if Jeff Gannon will be around anywhere down there?

While we’re limiting things lets limit political contributions by special interest lobbys or anyone for that matter to $100 or maybe even $1000, that would keep most of our politicos honest (?) well…maybe but it would be a start.

Of course none of this will happen as long as “We The People” sit on our butts and support the status quo.
Why are we prosecuting baseball players when “our Leaders” thumb their noses at the law. Let’s all worry about Brittany and Paris and not $3 and $4 gasoline. The “media” needs to learn that we care more about our economy that what a bunch of spoiled rich folk do while our country and way of life goes down the tube.

What do you think???

The political prosecutions must stop. The unlimited violations of our privacy must stop. NO immunity for the telecoms. Our Congressman won’t take the stand, but we say impeach.

Congress has been supine about allowing presidents to get away with all sorts of abuse and crime for decades.

Only rarely, during and just after Watergate, for instance, has Congress summoned up the political will and intestinal fortitude to draw a line in the sand around the president and say, “Beyond this, you cannot go.”

The framers of the Constitution believed Congress should be more powerful than the president, and also believed they’d accomplished that when the document was ratified.

Ben, James, John and the gang must be spinning in their graves by now.
