Newt: Kavanaugh hearing -- Who governs America?

HumblePi said:

Campaign finance reform is something that will never get passed in the Senate. The current proposals for campaign finance reform is heavily disputed even on Wikipedia, so I doubt there's going to be any reform in the foreseeable future.

I have to mention that in the past days, I've seen so many pro-Kavanaugh ads on every news channel for days. There's a lot of money out there ready and willing to put it into support for the candidates of special interests. You can reach a lot of people on social media, that's true. But, reaching people over the television is still the most effective way to get a message across to millions.

Take away the money bribing our candidates by the rich and powerful and you will see very few TV ads by candidates. The other thing is on social media each and every one of us can respond immediately letting candidates know we don't like hate filled gutter trashing and would rather find out what you will do for us. I think we would see a whole new breed of candidates and possibly leaders that are more worried about getting things done we want done rather than playing party politics. Of course the hate filled party puppets and their supporters need to go the way of the dinosaurs.

Yeah but who's going to take away the money, the rich or the ones they're buying?
