We are, every election year, given a choice between two identical candidates. it doesn't have to be this way. Subvert the system and defy the corporate minority. For more info on how to destroy the oligarchy, visit http://whitehouseforsale.org/ and give me your thoughts on the issue. (wow...I sound like a promotional anouncer)

I like the idea

We really need to limit campaign spending

Of course. ;)

I think we should limit it, but if you ask me it would be really hard to do. Campaign money is like water. It will always find a way to get to the lowest point (ie. the candidate) via 527 groups, or whatever. Look at McCain/Feingold. They did everything they could have, but hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent on this campaign by both sides. How could they have forseen what a huge role 527's would play? They couldn't have. And no matter what CFR laws are passed, someone will almost always find a way to make thier voice heard via money. And lots of it. I'm not saying CFR is impossible, just very difficult.

That is right. There is always a loophole, but I think there is a way to fit CFR even into our ridiculously superficial country.

The two major parties are corrupt and a bit stupid. And The Nader campaign ain't so hot either. Check it out:
