As far as money spent on elections, it would take a constitutional amendment. The SCOTUS ruling that money is speech pretty well opened the flood gates to billion dollar presidential campaigns. It will only get worse from here. I agree also on the Tea Party, when they first came into being they were talking about the debt and deficit. Not a word about social issues. This was exactly what a follower of Perot and a member of the Reform Party could latch on to. But since then they became more interested in no new taxes and jumped into the social issue arena and have said or talked very little about the debt.
It is like the Tea Party has lost their reason for their beginning.
No More Morning Dew---Jeff Beck--for the climate drought denials
No Quarter---Led Zeppelin--for the Tea Party as it deserves none
Thirty Days In The Hole---Humble Pie--for NIMBY if he doesn't go back downstairs
