huh? why? because people put their money behind their beliefs?

Any campaign accepting these funds is suspect. My vote may be cast aside as "threatening", but every dollar sent WILL be counted.
i'm not sure i remember anyone's vote being thrown out for being "threatening". Because they were too dumb to work a punch card ballot, yes. But not because it was "threatening".

The outraqe of corruption wins because of stupid apathy. Now even your "VOTE" or MONEY is not enough to correct these faults.
i'm confused. this is the opposite of apathy. this is people doing something. not huge, massive union and corporate soft-money donations, but ordinary people writing checks. They believe in a position, and they are supporting it with a tangible act. And are you upset that money is not able to influence politics, or are you upset because money does influence politics?

I know i'm not the sharpest biscuit in the breadbox, but i can usually parse my way through an argument. This one has me confused though.
