Shrillary Says We Should Pay For Campaigns

http://boortz.com/nuze/index.html

This is rich. Hillary Clinton now says she believes public funds should be used to finance campaigns. As if somehow this is supposed to counter the media coverage of her $26 million haul in fundraising so far this year. Please...that's the last thing we need. Because if government starts paying for campaigns, government will start choosing candidates. Remember the saying: whoever pays the piper gets to pick the tune, and this will be no different.

Evidently The Hildabeast was a bit stung by the criticism over all this money. After all, won't all these people that she's accepting money from want something in return? Do people just hand out millions of dollars without expecting something back for their investment? But it would be even worse if government were picking up the tab. Think about that for a minute....government deciding who gets elected. Politicians would have to apply for campaign welfare and the feds would decide on some basis whether or not they get the cash.

At that point, you and I would suddenly start paying for negative attack ads on TV. But wait ... sorry. That's not allowed. Remember McCain - Feingold? Political free speech is no longer on the table in this country .. not when we have an election approaching.

Public financing of campaigns is a terrible idea whose idea should never come. But like all of her other schemes, Hillary Clinton wants to reach into your pocket and pay for her ideas.

Here's a better idea: how about limiting the entire campaign season to oh...about 6 months?

Oh .. one more thing. I may be wrong -- often am! -- but didn't Hillary recently announce that she wouldn't be accepting matching federal funds for her presidential campaign? Must have been some sort of a slipup.

tell you the truth on this.

personnel if the get it from the Groverment let it be a flate rate like 500.000.00 to all partys who run for office, as a loan so they would have to pay it back, only to help them get a kick start.

other wise i say no freaking way, as for them get it a public money it has to counted for and were they get it from and it do have to be open to the public records to see it all.
