I'd rather politicians bribe voters than donors. Less chance of oppressive oligarchy that way.

  Tell that to the Romans and the patronage systems.

  Where in the loan transference program does it state that campaign donations are being made illegal?

    You're barking down the wrong tree. We're talking about the prediliction of one party in the US to bribe one group relative to another, not the other way around. But since you asked, Democrats have well established intention of getting big donors out of the camapaign game. It's in their national platform and everything.

      Democrats have a well-established pattern, however, of taking the most they can from the largest donors they can find.

        That's the trouble with playing a game with changable rules, isn't it? Ignoring advantages because of the rules you wish were in place seems like a great way to consistently lose. Then how do the rules get changed?
