McCain spokesman Brian Rogers responded that "Howard Dean's hypocrisy is breathtaking given that in 2003 he withdrew from the matching funds system in exactly the same way that John McCain is doing today."
Well, almost exactly. Well, maybe not almost exactly ... but it's a great sound bite.
FEC Approves Matching Funds for 2004 Presidential Candidates (December 30, 2003) "... Howard Dean initially qualified to receive matching funds, but his campaign withdrew its request for funds."
FEC Approves Matching Funds for 2008 Candidates (December 20, 2007) "... The following chart lists the amount certified to each candidate. ... John McCain $ 5,812,197.35"
This couldn’t be more ironic. McCain’s liberal Democratic friends are attacking him for violating his own law, McCain-Feingold. We get to watch McCain have to argue in court about the meaning of McCain-Feingold and the particulars of campaign finance reform with the Soros funded slimeballs at the DNC.
HA HA HA I love it.
