[QUOTE="ShadowSD:1237071"]Hard as it is to believe now, in twenty or thirty years people will be wondering where the Obamas and Pauls of the world went, and what happened to the days when politics wasn't as bad "as it is now". Obama and Paul are notable but very rare exceptions right now in a system where virtually all Presidential candidates in both parties get off the ground with corporate donations, and then end up inconsistently going around to different groups pandering with different messages trying to score more cash and votes. The only silver lining we really have is equal access to information we all get from the Internet, which was the only reason either Obama or Paul ever broke out in the first place as small-donation based candidates; this was because average people could now go back and read transcripts/watch videos and catch politicians who change their tune in the act, so those who were consistent from day to day stood out. That's about the only silver lining we have in the system we have now, which should really be fixed to cap donations per person at $100 a year instead of $2500 or whatever it is now, including those contributions to outside front groups that really work for the candidates covertly; if there's going to be a cap per year anyway, why not allow the free speech of all voters to be on a level playing field?[/QUOTE]
