When in Rome, Senator....

Maybe he doesn't really have the cash.

Perhaps he hasn't been truthful about his fund raising success.

[expatpat]

Perhaps Obama’s campaign is having the same problem Howie Dean had — his components were in promises, not all in actual cash.

Man, if there was ever a test of true Dhimmi-hood this is it. obammy is a spendthrift right up until it's his money getting thrown away...;'}

[Popman]

Hard to believe I can find something positive to say about this empty suit Marxist, but I applaud Barak Hussein Obama refusal to pay off the rat party thugs

[expatpat]

‘components’ should be ‘contributions’.

[Theodore R.]

Who do you think Benjamin Franklin would support?

[Argus]

It is all legal

Of course it is. They're Democrats!

[Secret Agent Man]

Hmmm......, a liberal not wanting to hand out his own (campaign) cash to others......

He’s bucking the trend of libs paying for votes. The handout crowd ain’t gonna like it.

[Izzy Dunne]

Hard for me, too, but still, I applaud him, for as long as he sticks to his guns.

We'll see how long that is...

[mware]

Don’t know about losing the Philly vote, but he sure has lost the small town Pa vote.

Walking around money. Buying votes with a pack of cigarettes.

Knock and drag using ex-cons who go through a neighborhood several times on election day; you’d better have a GOOD reason why you aren’t going to the poll.

And some think that having a “receipt” showing who you voted for would be a GOOD idea.

The dhimmi tithe to B'Hussein O.

[weegee]

The vote is for sale to the highest bidder. On ebay, that can be a penny.

[FreedomPoster]

“a candidate who promises to transform American politics”

If you scratch a little below the surface, there is precious little about this candidate that indicates anything other than an old-school Chi-town dirty pol.

[FreeInWV]

Bad move. He is refusing to pay the goons that drive all of the dead voters to the polls.

[SkyPilot]

Philadelphia Democrat Ward bosses are not happy at the news.

[Colonel_Flagg]

Fourteen months into a campaign that has the feel of a movement,

Sometimes the media makes this game just too easy to play.

His campaign feels more like passing a kidney stone.

"Fourteen months into a campaign that has the feel of a movement,:

A bowel movement maybe
