OK... some days it sure does seem boring to be going on and on with this election. Now we've got 6 weeks to Pennsylvania. It'll be like the week before the Super Bowl - people making stories out of nothing.
I've got a way to make the election more fun. Reality T.V. Let's have some REAL campaign finance reform by forcing candidates to earn their campaign money. The venue: The Political Moment of Truth.
Just picture it - "Senator Clinton, for $2 million dollars, did you really, on your own, make a 10,000% profit on cattle futures?" "Senator Obama, are you really a Muslim sympathizer?" or "Was the deal to purchase your home legal?"
"For $1 million dollars, Senator McCain, do you consider yourself a Conservative?" or "Did you have an affair with Vicki Iseman?"
Ratings would be through the roof!! Advertising would go for MORE than the Super Bowl - the DNC and RNC can strike revenue sharing deals with the broadcast station (FOX, or course!) .... But best of all, we would, FOR THE FIRST TIME, get truthful answers from politicians. Wow.
And if that was the campaign fundraising method for future years, we would be raising a crop of decent people for elections in the future.
Ah... I guess I'm just ahead of my time.
