Hi, Del.
Any politician alive has to accept some money from "special interests," or (s)he won't be elected. even though unconstitutional, I'd welcome a tight per-voter spending limit such as that in the UK. But the Republicans have a much clearer record of pandering to their contributors, the most blatant being the Medicaid Reform Act's prohibition agains the SSA using its size to negotiate lower prescription prices -- the direct opposite of the free market in action!
BTW, you can avoid the "runoff" problem with long links by using the following template for long links:
{url=site.com}text{/url}, except replacing the squiggly brackets with square brackets.

Well, the "hardball" is just beginning.
So Kerry is against Special Interests ?
Oh Yeah ? ".....Anyone who gets millions of dollars over time, and thousands of dollars from specific donors, knows there's a symbiotic relationship. He needs the donors' money. The donors need favors. Welcome to Washington. That is how it works.....''
