Is there anyone in the GOP who advocates to remove money from elections?

Bloomberg and Steyer prove money can't buy elections.

Taking money out of politics gives the advantage to incumbents.

There is a fair point in this, despite ignoring that money obviously gives someone joining late to the big show some attention. Name recognition plays a huge role as well. Biden is a great example, because anyone that actually talks about the issues can’t stand the fucker, but somehow he’s a front runner. I have no idea what the hell Bloomberg brings but I know he’s running, and he’ll probably buy his way onto the debate stage.

It’s not any different than ‘dim pols’ that pander to ‘gullible libs’, which brings me back to my point. You are a gullible monkey who could care less about honesty and more about the theater. But, ya know, those pandering libs might take yur’ gunz and killz da babies!

im not GOP but yes I think publicly funding all elections would be an ideal to strive towards.

I also believe that the house of represenatives should not have elections at all, and instead resort to sortition. with a single term.

publicly funding elections would give incumbents too much of an advantage

You liar! Donald Trump is the weakest male I've ever know of- and the weakest president we have ever had. He can't even stand up to Putin, Kim Jong Un, or the Turks. He is stupid for thinking we don't know better. And he shows that he cares more about Russia, Arabia, and Turkey- and his own political power than he does America and our allies.

All those countries and leaders loved Obobo. :dunno:
 
The truth is the way we allow money into politics gives the incumbent a huge advantage. They work tirelessly to get donations, but do it from a position of authority. Those giving money can give it to an insider with the power or speculate about who will win next. Our politicians spend more than half their office time raising money. They spend way too much time doing that. But politics is the business of getting re-elected. So politicians have worked an advantage into the system. That is why we return over 90 percent of our politicians year after year.

I see you are as ignorant of what is happening around you as you would be in a world where candidates did not campaign.....

Have you ever thought about what is right and what is wrong- and doing the right thing- even if it is not in favor of your political choice?

I bet you can't do it!

I bet you are weak! Like Donald Trump and the Republican Congressional leaders!

Be a man dude! Stand up for what is right!

Electing an outsider like Donald Trump to bust up the corrupt crony establishment kabal is the right thing to do.

I supported Nader because he was an outsider anti corruption candidate just like Trump. It is you who needs to overcome your pettiness and arrogance and do the right thing for America and support Donald Trump.

I disagree. Elections are a States Rights issue and as such, by having the funded at the Federal level takes it out of the states and centralizes elections.

Money is not the issue here; it is education of the people who vote for idiots. Idiots who think that the Government is there to give them handouts and redistribute wealth. The other issue now is the PHONY media who are no longer feigning journalism, but now all in promoting an ideology.

the person that wins an election is the one that received the most funding 95% of the time. We are establishing a system of patricians unaccountable to the people. This is not conducive to a free society.

I'm not saying I would get all private money out. I am not sure what my exact approach would be, but as libertarian I am allowed to believe in funding vital services and I do think having more meritocratic elections falls into that category.

You are right to assume the centralizing of such a thing does present it's own huge problems. It would have to be a constitutional change where the government couldn't turn off the funds for candidates they don't like. that's a no brainer.

The deep state largely exists because of politics going to the highest bidder.

Oh? Are you accusing the Democrats of being drespectful to poor little innocent Donald Trump?

First of all, Donald Trump is the most disrespectful person on Earth. So let's just get that out of the way first.

So, if holding Donald Trump responsible for his actions, holding him to his Oath Of Office, holding him responsible for following the Constitution, and holding him responsible for paying his taxes, holding him responsible for the laws he has broken, holding him responsible for Obstructing Justice, Holding him responsible for the Obstruction of Congress, Holding him responsible for witness tampering, holding him responsible for violation of the Emoluments Act, and holding him responsible for bribing our allied countries to help him win an election while withholding funds approved by Congress is in some way being disrespectful of him personally- THEN SO BE IT!

YOU don't speak for me. YOU can only speak for yourself. The point is that Dems who make a big fuss over race, gender, etc. are the racists and the bigots, not the people who they accuse of being so. It's just further projection from the political left...

Wipe your chin. Why would anyone try and be rational with you?
 
I admit that I skipped to this last page (at this time) to say this:

I’m not in the GOP but I am conservative...very conservative...and I say no. If money was taken out of the election process what the general public would see, the message they would get that IMO would prove to be the tipping point would come from a largely very, liberal and very biased group of news networks.
