Obama not to be trusted - Breaks his promise to America

[HAL 9000 96]

I think they should both give all that election money to charitable trusts and not bother with any advertising campaigns - that would be interesting.

Heck even the public funds part... that's like 80 million right? Quite a nice set of grants for public schools or low-cost health care.

I say limit the election campaign to 2 months. That would save time, money and aggravation.

Limiting time would be a great idea.

I would oppose limiting money though. Organic support should be encouraged, not contained.

Oh, I agree with you on that one -- I don't understand why people are pissed off that he's taking personal money (which is capped) instead of using taxpayer money!

Its only a certain set of people that are upset. *As if they knew there was a cap on personal contributions*

Sky's the limit then... At least with a total cap you'd not have to worry about fundraising after a certain point...

I don't know... maybe then we could set up a candidate deathmatch or something like that to fill in the void left by frivolous special-interest groups being left out.

Yes, if we're talking about individuals expressing their support for a candidate of their choice, the sky should be the limit. This is America.

Note that I'm referring to individuals and not organizations of any kind.

Interesting. I still like the deathmatch idea though, since its obvious public schools or health care won't get the extra funds...

Question to ponder for us all

1)Would Obama be willing to donate all his campaign money to start a healthcare fund for us all now?

2) Would McCain be willing to donate all his campaign money to start a alternative fuel research project now?

None of us here, to my knowledge, are the candidates. Perhaps ask them? yes?

Sure why not?
