In the early days of the United States, campaigning was not that expensive. But only property owners could vote. The reasoning was tenants and employees would be too easily coerced by their landlord or boss. In a sense people had to buy their way into the voting booth. Of course -- with very few exceptions -- only white men* could vote. ______________________________ * one or two states allowed widows to vote, if they owned property.

Uhhh ... Romney's money, and Romney's superPAC's money, both come from overseas, so it's a wash?

I think Karl Rove has to get the word out that there's foreign billions coming to Obama (from Kenya, probably) before the media can call it a "wash" and tell us to just fuhgeddaboudit.

You know how Bill Clinton was getting all that press recently, for shooting torpedoes in the general direction of the Obama campaign? I think McCain got jealous.

I think we should only allow foreign money to finance for our elections. We get everything else from China, why not campaign cash.
