  • Political Reform

    Let's keep this simple. Here's what we need:

    1. Ban political parties and their machinery. No Democrats, No Republicans, No Greens, no Independents like Lieberman, just people.
    2. Ban political contributions greater than $100.
    3. Ban political advertisements in any medium, since it's all negative lies and bullshit anyway.

    Sort of. If you can count one Republican vote in favor.
    After months of acrimonious partisanship, Democrats closed ranks on a 220-215 vote that included 39 defections, mostly from the party's conservative ranks. But the bill attracted a surprise Republican convert: Rep. Anh "Joseph" Cao of Louisiana, who represents' [...]
