Please Support Banning Political Commericals

46. Why we can't just enforce free and open commercials

Have you ever seen how many people run for a single office sometimes? Yeah, this makes sense when there's just 2 or 3 people running, but often the primaries have 30 or more candidates, and the general election often has 8-10 people.

Take the number of candidates running for election in the viewing range of a single TV station, and you're probably talking about several thousand people even in small markets, even more in large markets.

Do you seriously think it's possible to establish rules that provide equal time for every one of these thousands of people on every channel...and i'll also throw the monkey wrench of national network commercials...they have to give equal time to every person who's running for president? Have you ever seen how many people run for president?

There is no better way to remove the overwealming influence of money from elections...or at least I've never seen one.

And yes...this is going to happen. I get nothing but support when I talk to people uninvolved and uninterested in politics...and those people are the majority in this country.

This is going to happen...this is the only way.
