Get rid of the corrupt parties and cap the candidate spending. (Much like a salary cap).

PSSST... that was ALREADY done and UNDONE.

McCain Feingold placed strict limits on campaign funding and spending for the presidency.

The republicans started losing elections and getting out fund raised, so they went to court, until they reached the supreme court and got CITIZENS UNITED passed into law.

Now, spending is out of control, and republicans dont like it.

They opened the door to foreign donors, something Mc/Fein prohibited, and they opened the door for the addelson/Soros billionaires to dirty the water.

The blame FALLS squarely onto the shoulders of the republican party and those that vote for them.

Even with Citizens United, the democrats are still out fund raising them.

Either way, the republicans wanted corrupt campaigns, well, now they got em.

Congratulations.

Really? Mccain/Feinstein stated :

All money used in a campaign shall be limited to x amount of money (let's say $5 mil). All money shall be put into a political savings account.
Any money used on a political campaign must come from the candidates savings account, and verified by the recipient of the money.
Any person or entity using money outside of said spending account shall be subject to penalty. Fines, jail time, disqualification of candidate.

Real simple, you can tweak it a bit, but all on 1 piece of paper.

I know the bill, what I'm talking about isn't even close. I don't see a spending cap. Or accountability on the spending .

Then you didnt READ it clearly or thoroughly.

McCain/Feingold LIMITED donations, ELIMINATED foreign donors and CAPPED business and private donors.

There were no Sheldon Adelsons or other multi billionaires donating tens of millions of dollars.

Today, what you are seeing is the product of BAD republican ideology. Citizens United wiped out our political system and cash is now king.

Again, looking for a spending cap.... I don't see it.
