re: #184 iossarian

Look, it’s pretty clear that we all hate this when the other side do it. For us lefties it’s the corporations, for you guys it’s the unions.

Why not just band together and say: it would be better if there were tighter controls around political campaign finance?

Why not save the country all the money spent on campaigns and whatnot? Just declare the dictatorship, impound all contributions to be used to offset the deficit and move forward from there. And, to borrow a page from our cultural fore bearers, we make the new government have two executives a la the two kings of Sparta. Thus we get a Republican and a Democrat wearing the theoretical crowns and cut out all the spending used to disguise the reality of the situation.
