It's the people and corporations writing the checks. They're the ones spending the money, and the RIO is the degree of influence they will have on policy if their candidate wins. If they're smart, they'll cut checks to both sides. Either way, they win because every day Americans can't possibly outspend them. <BR/><BR/>Public funding, for real, could change that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3763850.post-86459131883111871512007-04-03T10:21:00.000+01:002007-04-03T10:21:00.000+01:00Hi Guy'sNew Creation is Your Guide for Education i...Hi Guy's<BR/><BR/>New Creation is Your Guide for Education in Indiana, teen boarding schools,Christian schools,boarding school for troubled teens,summer camps.<BR/><BR/>Cheer"s<BR/>RichardsChristian Dating Serviceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10183137617768492241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3763850.post-20156397815451293462007-04-03T06:20:00.000+01:002007-04-03T06:20:00.000+01:00Whoever coined the phrase, "money is the root of a...Whoever coined the phrase, "money is the root of all evil" wasn't just whistlin' dixie!<BR/><BR/>I have been told that money is the mother's milk of politics. I see it more as poison in the well. Money will sadly always dictate power. I believe, and I may be naive about typing this, but I feel that JFK was assasinated because he couldn't be bought. I could be deftly wrong but I believe that with all my heart.<BR/><BR/>When you can't buy the person, you off them. Plain and simple. But money also can bring down a person, too. Cunningam, Ney, your elevator pal Delay...at least money can give you power but it can also take it away.<BR/><BR/>Great post. Thanks for stopping by today. <BR/><BR/>Cheers!<BR/>AngeloProgressive Texas Chicanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00798638267420785734noreply@blogger.com
