Ron isn't exactly in trouble, but, the tea baggers that he helped to create are
turning on him down in Texas.

Someone hit the nail on the head with the publicly financed election idea.
I have thought for quite some time that campaign funds should be capped
at a certain amount, 5 mill, 10 mill. whatever. An independent 3rd party would over see the funds. IMO that would drive the politicians back to having more debates on free tv, they would have to do more interviews to get their message out, and would cut down on the deluge of political ads during election years. Now it is just who can raise the most money.
