Then came Reagan's New federalism , which brought major reductions. Between and , federal aid dropped 55%. Cuts were made and taxes were raised.

donations archives newsletter contact ... FAQ''s June 4, 2004 Text Size: A A A Departments Breaking News Features HNN Blogs Hot Topics ... Log In 7-16-01: News at Home Column: Whatever Happened to Campaign Finance Reform? By P.M. Carpenter Mr. Carpenter is earning his Ph.D. in history at the University of Illinois. If I were assigned topics as a newspaper editorial writer, I’d kill the managing editor. I’d kill him dead and pray that it take months to replace him. For even the punitive prospect of a scalding, stinking hell for my wicked deed would be preferable to hearing 3 times a week, “Carpenter, we need another piece on campaign finance reform.” 11In just 6 months I already would have written 72 versions of the same editorial. In 36 identical cycles the first editorial would proclaim to absolutely no one’s surprise, “System Is Broken.” The subsequent headline would announce to absolutely no one’s surprise, “Congress Fails Again.” 11I couldn’t bear the déjà vu. I’d abstain from watching or reading the news for fear of espying yet another proposal for campaign reform – and thus the boss’ predestined call for a 73rd editorial. If there’s a V-chip for radio, I’d install one for NPR. To be safe I’d avoid all magazines absent a naked woman on the cover. I’d be the least-informed editorialist on earth, excepting, of course, the collective staff at the Washington Times. And each morning I’d whimper, just knowing that someone, somewhere, will make another attempt at campaign reform. A man’s got to do what a man’s got to do. So the big-cheese editor that demanding troll of repetitive commentary would have to go. Nothing else could eliminate the terror of contemplating endless, selfsame editorials.

Thoughts of George Washington Plunkitt: Machine Politician Chapter 6. To Hold Your District: Study Human Nature and Act Accordin' There's only one way to hold a district: you must study human nature and act accordin'. you can't study human nature in books. Books is a hindrance more than anything else. If you have been to college, so much the worse for you. You'll have to unlearn all you learned before you can get right down-to human nature, and unlearnin' takes a lot of time. Some men can never forget what they learned at college. Such men may get to be district leaders by a fluke, but they never last. Another thing, I can always get a job for a deservin' man. I make it a point to keep on the track of jobs, and it seldom happens that I don't have a few up my sleeve ready for use. I know every big employer in the district and in the whole city, for that matter, and they ain't in the habit of sayin' no to me when I ask them for a job. And the children-the little roses of the district! Do I forget them? Oh, no! They know me, every one of them, and they know that a sight of Uncle George and candy means the same thing. Some of them are the best kind of vote-getters. I'll tell you a case. Last year a little Eleventh Avenue rosebud, whose father is a Republican, caught hold of his whiskers on election day and said she wouldn't let go till he'd promise to vote for me. And she didn't.

FlickNation : Movies From A Guy's POV Adventures in Profiteering As if committing acts of domestic treason wasn't enough in a day's work for the Bush team, along comes some fat contracts in Iraq for Bush pals A group of businessmen linked by their close ties to President Bush, his family and his administration have set up a consulting firm to advise companies that want to do business in Iraq, including those seeking pieces of taxpayer-financed reconstruction projects. The firm, New Bridge Strategies, is headed by Joe M. Allbaugh, Mr. Bush's campaign manager in 2000 and the director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency until March. Other directors include Edward M. Rogers Jr., vice chairman, and Lanny Griffith, lobbyists who were assistants to the first President George Bush and now have close ties to the White House. I will say it until I'm blue in the face: the Bush presidency has a consistent, persistent, and ongoing strategy to take the money of the American public and launder it through Bush campaign supporters .

Home Why VDARE? VDARE People Pages VDARE Links ... Printer Friendly Version... Diversity vs. Civil Service Reform: Affirmative Action = Jobs For Democrats By James Fulford Affirmative action didn't start in the 1960's. It goes back much farther than that. What confuses people is that it used to be called “political corruption.” In the 1890's the "spoils system" allowed the winning party to get jobs for their loyal partisans. Tax money taken from members of all parties was used to pay the salaries of members of one party. Civil service reform finished that. For many years, when blacks had no political clout whatsoever, the Federal Civil Service was a place where they could get jobs when white employers refused to hire them. In the African-American community, the Democratic Party has a large group of loyal partisans. African-Americans

Find the lowest price Customer Reviews Plunkitt of Tammany Hall: A Series of Very Plain Talks on Very Practical Politics The Most Honest "Crook" You'll Ever Meet! I first read this highly informative, often hilarious book for Intro to Political Science back in college. In this short tome are pearls of wisdom about politics and human nature still relevant 100 years later. Plunkitt, high atop his regular boot-black stand in NYC, declaims to his biographer, Riordan, a life spent in the political machine known as Tammany Hall, with such disarming honesty that is nearly non-existent today. Plunkitt's diatribes on "honest graft vs. dishonest graft," "Brooklynites Natural-Born Hayseeds," and the evils of civil service exams are outright hilarious. I highly recommend this book to anyone with even a passing interest in politics. He gives all the secrets I originally read this book in undergraduate school as Political Science major, and had to go back and find a copy because of the profound affect it had on my psyche. George Washington Plunkitt was a "stereotypical" politician. You know, the one who says what he needs to say to get elected; but once there does what's necessary for his party.

TABLE OF CONTENTS Download the PDF Article Deregulating Politics George F. Will This selection first appeared in Newsweek Will recounts that Wisconsin legislation restricting communication that has the purpose of influencing an election has led to suits in which legislators have sued on the grounds that they have been harmed by political messages criticizing their performance, thus demonstrating what Will considers the real motive behind campaign finance reform: "The political class thinks it has a right to ration the permissible amount of political communication because it really thinks it has a property right to the offices it holds." W hen Earl Long was Louisiana's governor, he did not think highly of the state's attorney general: "If you want to hide something from Jack Gremillion, put it in a lawbook." Nowadays if you want, as sensible people do, to discredit the drive for campaign finance reform, give the reformers ample opportunities to put forth their arguments. The more they talk, the more wind escapes from their movement's sails. Although Bill Clinton is almost negligible as a president, he may have one large, and largely wholesome, consequence. Having run his last campaign, he now favors new regulations on giving and spending money to disseminate political advocacy. However, suppose, as seems probable and by and large desirable, the final conclusion about his 1996 campaign-financing activities is that although what he did was often coarse and unseemly, it was nevertheless permitted by existing laws. In that case, his behavior will have produced the de facto deregulation of campaigning. That is, there will be almost nothing significant that the laws regulating campaigns will significantly inhibit. Which is as it should be.

Sandy Maisel, The Parties Respond: Changes in American Parties and Campaigns rd edition William Riordan, Plunkitt of Tammany Hall Course Description [The spirit of party] agitates the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms; kindles the animosity of one part against another; ferments occasional riot and insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which finds a facilitated access to the government through the channels of party passions. George Washington, 1796 It should be flatly stated, that the political parties created democracy and that modern democracy is unthinkable save in terms of parties Without parties there can be no organized and coherent politics. When politics lacks coherence, there can be no accountable democracy.
