campaign finance

I think if winning the presidential election is that important to the candidate or party it's there right to raise as much money as they need to get there goal. It's not the candidate that's ridicul0us, it's the people who are actually giving out hundreds and thousands of dollars out. Although I think it's a shame how half of all the money being donated will go to complete waste. That's one billion dollars just thrown away. But there's nothing anyone can do because our country is too obsessed with mass media, so if someone wanted to change the world and be president without spending a billion dollars, they couldn't afford commercials, internet videos, posters, ad campaigns, jet planes, etc. therefore no one would recognize them and they would lose, so it's sad but neccesary in this day of age.
