Do you believe money is the "mother's milk of politics"?

[kentuck]

Judging from all the emails everyone is getting, money is not only the "mother's milk", it is the only nourishment needed to compete for a political office.

Should money be the primary focus of any political Party? Can money buy anything and everything?

Is it possible to put too much emphasis on the money aspect of politics?

Is it possible to win without enough money to compete in the media with your competitors?

Is it possible to counter the negative ads by your opponent without money?

How do we ever get money out of our political system?

1. No, but I do believe that Republicans are the Boobs.

Boobs, as in idiots, not trying to be dismissive of women or breasts.

2. Yes, money is the "mother's milk" of politics. It isn't possible to counter the negative ads run by

your opponent without money to run your own ads. The only way to get money out of politics would be to make political advertising free, which I don't see happening under our capitalist system.
