Ted,
Both Alan and Dave can of course speak for themselves, but I think you misunderstood Dave's post. He's not asking for more laws and regulations. We talked earlier about the Administration blocking the Keystone Project which would have brought thousands of construction jobs to the US, and the fact that the action was a pure & simple campaign ploy to keep the extremist environmentalists happy until they've contributed their funds into the campaign coffers. Proponents of the project have said that they don't believe it is dead, but that it will be delayed until after the 2012 election, and I believe that is what Dave was referring to in his message to his representatives. You may have to look back to the roots of this thread, Craigslist notice??. for the history.

You make a very good point about the slimy trail of bailout money somehow finding it's way back to the campaing coffers. To me campaign reform, limiting the amount that can be spent would be one of the best things that could be done. I also agree 100% with your statement that the government cannot give anything that was not first taken from someone else. I think this dovetails with another famous quote, "A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have." Thomas Jefferson
