That is another thing I will add to my wish list of Term Limits and Age Limits..... seriously tightened limits on campaign spending. The amount of money being spent on elections is obscene. Not to mention most of the information in political ads is inaccurate (regardless of party). The spending on these ads is also something being used to sway the idiots in the country who are too lazy to do their own research on candidates so they vote based on the garage they hear and see in these ads.
Spending billions of dollars on these political campaigns is the definition of insanity. Maybe if they tightened the contribution and spending limits, candidates would be forced to do a better job with their campaigns and ads.

What of they were just plain forced to do a better job at their job?
You work to keep your place in line everyday in corporate America. If you didn't, someone was right there to fill the slot. Maybe politicians, regardless of affiliation, should be held to the same standard: Put up or shut up, and don't let the door hit you in the butt on the way out.
