Money Talks Campaign Finance Reform to Death

by David Remer PoliWatch.Org 11/23/03

An excellent article entitled Money Talks at MotherJones.com depicts the dilemma of campaign finance reform and how it hasn't a prayer of meeting tax payer's and citizen's expectations. President Bush's reelection strategy is pure and simple, outspend the critics and dominate the media with his own message and campaign finance reform be damned. This strategy has forced chief proponents of campaign finance reform to forego abiding by the reforms they talked and fought so hard to implement. For they cannot protect and further campaign finance reform if they cannot be elected.
