    re: Disclose the Conflicts

    Exactly. It's easy transparency that would even be self-policed by the blogs and opposition research groups. However... the fatal flaw in this idea, is that the left would have as many or more conflicts of interest, demonstrating it's propensity for insisting others do as they say, not as they do.

    That disqualifies an excellent idea, just as it disqualifies listing all campaign donors as a self-regulating campaign finance reform. Democrat hypocrisy is a constant barrier to better government and journalism.
