Why do we only talk about campaign reform AFTER elections

instead of before?
This promises to be the most expensive campaign ever...and personally, I think (at least for the Democratic nomination) it should be on an even playing field. That playing field should be on the Gulf Coast with all of the money going in the pot to do some good down there.
If all of the Democratic candidates focused their efforts down there...there would be 24/7 news coverage.
That's getting the most bang for the buck.

1. You know what the real problem is here?

Stupid people listening to vile advertisements.

Politicians may put that bullshit up, but why are so many Americans so stupid they can't just look the other way or disregard them?

Are we that dumb of a nation?

Where's the responsibility on our side here?

Politicians are vile excuses for human beings, but what are we, the people who actually make decisions based upon negative ads or ads at all? Why don't we go out and do our own research to vote in elections?

Why the hell is everyone so fucking lazy?
