[QUOTEMr. McConnell also blasted Obama senior campaign adviser David Axelrod for recent comments suggesting that, if the president is re-elected in November, the administration may push for a constitution amendment for more strict campaign finance reform.][/QUOTE]

I am all for more strict campaign reform. I want to see ALL lobby money eliminated from federal campaigns. I do not want to see a single politician able to pocket a penny for his or her campaign. Federally fund the campaigns. Eliminate all PACs. Corporations, unions, churches, organizations etc.that wish to support a candidate or a cause can do so, but only on their own dime and identity. No group that receives federal funds, including non-profits, should be allowed to say squat. When Sen Trent Lott retired he had on the order of 1 to 2 million dollars in his own name from campaign contributions. Legally. What did he do. He started a lobbying firm. What is one of their current projects? Supporting the Law of the Seas Treaty. This is how obscene, distorted, and downright corrupt campaign financing has become, and it cannot be fixed by tweaking it here or there. Like corrosion, it must be sanded down to bare metal,
