No contribution is OK, nohow, no way
We've seen this coming for awhile, but Carrie Lynch says it's finally happened:
It's official. No one can give money to the candidates in the race for governor or any other politician for that matter. Every donation is suspect and a potential scandal.Between the goo-goos and the news media, every dollar a candidate raises is now dirty.
The state's newspapers continue to write about campaign contributions every day, then complain that the campaigns aren't discussing the issues.
Today's Journal Sentinel full-page story must have shocked a lot of people. Headline:
Business donors leadWell, duh.
in gubernatorial race
If the three -- count 'em, three -- reporters who worked on that story had spent the same amount of time examining the candidates' records or asking them their plans to balance the state budget -- oh, never mind. Sorry, the heat must have gotten me. Never happen.

Next, the Dems will start bashing Feingold. He's destroying the Democratic Party by his over reliance on $100 contributions.
But what is Feingold promising those big money - $100 -- contributors? Access? A chance to see him re-elected? We should have not allow any of the dirty money to go to unclean political campaigns - it's just bribery.
What average American can afford giving $100 to an elected official? It's grotesque.
If each of them gave the $100 to crucial non-profits such as the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign, the world would be a better place.
