The Money Spent On This Election is Obscene

[Girlieman]

The irony is almost unbearable, both candidates spending record amounts of money to convince the voters that he/she is the agent of change.

Plus ca change . . .

1. I agree ...at a time of such need, the media industry gets rich

[Prefer]

2. Military Industrial Media Complex

Making money off of our fighting...

[Adelante]

3. Yes nt

4. One commentator here in Canada

Said that Giuliani spent more on his ONE vote than gets spent by ALL parties in a typical Canadian federal election.

You've GOT to get the money out of politics.

5. Our political system is like our healthcare system

profit-driven, inefficient, falling apart, and 99% useless.

7. 300 mil people vs 30 mil, still works out about the same $2 per voter. n/t

6. Agreed! But the voters are damn stupid too! If you believe

the Obama campaign, it's the voters who are sending him the MONEY! I admit I sent $10 to Howard Dean when he was running, and I sent $10 to Joe Biden, but that's it! I don't have the disposable money to support this BS even if I wanted to!

I admit that I'm glad that the Dems are our raising the Pubs this time, but I'd really like to see all contributors STOP!

8. That has been my #2 issue all along.

But do any of the candidates mention it? Sure - one sponsored a bill. McCain. Ugh.

Nobody is going to mention now it while they try to rake in a much as possible for their stupid ads.
