I don't want Republicans OR Democrats taking ANY money from anyone other than plain old American voters, period.

Teddy Roosevelt's 1907 law preventing corporations from giving a penny to politicians is long gone. Look at the number of registered lobbyists before Reagan took office compared to when he left (or today) to see just how bad it is.

There is no good argument against public funding of elections. There are bad arguments though, which I'm sure you'll share...then again even you wouldn't argue something that stupid.
