perfect plan for stick it to GOP and ensure Dem hold on congress

[stevebreeze]

Of course our first task is to get us the hell out of Iraq, but we need to work on the other issue that worked for us in this past election. Corruption!

It is good but not enough to pass new ethics rules and lobbying reform. To get the lobbyists out of politics we need public financing of campaigns. As long as the lobbyists pay for our democracy they will own it. We pay for it now in bad legislation. look at how much the drug corps have made over and above a fair price for the Medicare part D. Lobbying congress pays off far better then any other "investment" corporations can make. The public will not fall for any half assed efforts to get big money out of politics.

This has a side benefit given who is now leading the Senate minority party. Short term Mitch McConnell will go bat-shit crazy if he is faced with true campaign reform.He has in the past but now the public eye will be on him when he does. This is the perfect recipe for 2008 and beyond. The GOP can not win unless they can dominate the airwaves. On a fair playing field we win every time.
