Why doesn't he keep track of the left wing sites and refute the lies, mis-information, and propaganda that spews out of them? Would you support this if a Republican administration decided to target left wing sites and not the right wing ones? Do you see that you are acting like a partisan hack, or are you actually a hack who cannot see the truth when it is right in front of you?
I'm sorry... I missed your question. Absolutely. I would support a GOP admin doing the same of Left Wing Sites spreading LIES and MISINFORMATION. Opinion is one thing, facts are another.
I've said the same thing about lobbying groups, Political Action Committees and Campaign Finance. I want all of the bullshit stopped. I always get asked the same question from you lunkheads.... What about the UNIONS?!??! Yeah... I want their money stopped being funneled into the "legislation buying" game too. Even though Corporations(collectively) absolutely DESTROY the Unions(Collectively) at the game. I want it all stopped. Just like this issue.
I am not the lunkhead here, you are.
Tell me something, what do we do if the government is the one spreading lies and misinformation? If we give the government the power to argue their version of truth, and they are lying, then it will attack people who are actually spreading truth and information and simply refute it with lies and mis information. It is not the government's job to maintain truth, and I do not understand why most of the people that understand this are labelled as right wingers. This is not a partisan issue, and never has been, but some people insist on making it one.
If you ban lobbying groups and PACs you deny people the right to band together and let their government know how they feel. Take a look at the top 10 lobbying groups from this list.
Top 10 lobbying groups. Explore the offcial sites of the top lobbying groups.
I have no idea what criteria they used, nor do I care, I am just using the list to illustrate the point that lobbying groups and PACs are not just about corporations trying to buy elections, they are also about people coming together to make a difference in the world. Since there is no way to allow the groups I support and oppose the groups I do not without being a hack I simply support the right of everyone, even people I vehemently disagree with, to come together and lobby politicians, make issue ads, and even get stupid laws passed if they can. This preserves my right to do the same thing.
Public financing of elections, it is a bad idea precisely because it removes the public from elections. Have you ever noticed how many incumbent politicians support public election financing? The reason for that is that it takes a lot more money to get your message out if you are challenging a person who has the resources of the government at his beck and call. This effectively doubles the available money
The system you want would have more in common with a tyranny than anything that would arise out of our current system. Eliminating the public input into our government means that it will be less responsive, less likely to care about issues that have immediate impact, and less likely to change things that are bad for everyone.
If you really want an open government you should speak up and argue for, not against, everything you hate.
