| | By 1990, according to one analysis, 0.10 percent of the voting-age population donated 46 percent of the money congressional candidates raised, and 0.05 percent of the voting age population accounted for all of the large-donor money that winning Senate candidates raised. | | | Millions entered politics as voters and as partisans attending caucuses, conventions, and rallies. | | | This growing "criminalization" of politics, combined with media scandalmongering, did not purify politics but only further undermined faith in politicians and government. |

| | As long as the Supreme Court continues to recognize that political activity and, in some cases money, remain protected by the First Amendment, there is little that pro-regulation politicians can do besides move the bar around and put some more hurdles in the way of unbridled electoral activity. | | | According to one analysis being promulgated by a coalition of non-partisan political groups, the Supreme Court's McConnell decision "clearly stated that the law's limits on unregulated corporate, union and large individual contributions apply to political parties and not interest groups." | | | The United States Supreme Court's 1976 decision in Buckley vs. Valeo struck down two major parts of the 1974 law. |

Frémont, was $50,000. | | | The politics of mass democracy under the aegis of Andrew Jackson made money crucial. | | | That meant New York state's electoral votes and the presidency went to Thomas Jefferson, hater of moneyed men and their fondness for banks, stock markets and speculation. |

| | The determinist view that money buys politicians in our corrupt political culture is, in its way, as naive as the notion that legislating in Washington proceeds with the smooth and orderly disinterestedness described in high school civics texts. | | | Consider a couple of notorious examples (notorious, that is, in the minds of members of each party as they contemplate the other): The tobacco companies give a lot of money, mostly to Republicans; trial lawyers give a lot of money, mostly to Democrats. | | | Is it just that the tobacco companies ran out of money buying up the Republican Party and the lawyers ran out making the Democrats a wholly owned subsidiary? |
