Commentary: Drastic measures may be needed to stem the tide of cash in US elections
Tom Eblen | The Lexington Herald-Leader
"We have the best Congress money can buy,"
humorist Will Rogers quipped in the 1930s. More recent comedians have
suggested that politicians wear NASCAR-like jumpsuits so citizens can
see the logos of all of their sponsors.
Trouble is, the joke is no longer funny. Many of us
think special-interest money and the corruption it creates are
threatening the very future of American democracy.
