Ask him why his beloved Rush never talks about special interest money corrupting both parties. Ask him why Rush doesn't ever talking about campaign finance reform?
Why does Rush want unions giving money to politicians? If a a baseball manager gives money to an umpire before the game it's bribery. If a defendant's attorney gives money to his judge before the case, it's bribery.
If special interest give money to politicians it's...legal?
That's why you need to know why Rush thinks it's ok for Unions to give politicians money. Doesn't Rush think outside groups shouldn't be allowed to give politicians money?
It's the union angle that makes it work (for this clown), even though the corporate money has done 90% of the damage and is far more relevant.
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.
