Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but people on this board would rather have the legislation select our Senators rather than vote for them directly? Why would anyone think that's a good idea?

Go back and read the thread. The reason why has been posted multiple times by multiple people.
That and the Senate was structured the way it was based on Senators being appointed by the States.

It saves travel, whore, liquor, and other entertainment expenses for lobbyists who would only have one governmental body to influence. Also, your 501C organizations could concentrate its efforts to influence only on those in the legislature and hopefully not infect the general public with their extremely negative propaganda. (In other words, it brings the money closer to the elected).
