Ping!
Something smells about all this “little guy” internet funding.
Too bad Hildabeast can’t attack Obama on this as she is already bought and paid for by Lobbyist. Otherwise she would be making McCain’s points for him....
Perhaps the McCain-Feingold law is only for those who "keep the rules."
I think Mr. McCain has shot himself in the foot with this one. If he breaks his own rule, he'll get canned for it; however, the Dems will continue to acculumate money any way they can regardless of campaign finance laws. Saul Alinsky, anyone?
Liberals have been touting public financing for decades.
All it would do is benefit incumbents and limit access to the people.
IMO, Government (taxpayers) shouldn’t pay people to run for office.

Liberals and Their Invisible Homophobia
It’s not just homophobia from conservatives we have to worry about. Liberals can be just as baldly antigay — often without reproach.

Obama Discusses Smoking, Gay Marriage & College Loans

Let’s see..... back when Obama was pretending to be a principled reformer, i.e., when he didn’t think he could out-fundraise any Republican nominee, he pledged that he would be part of the public financing system which has been pushed by all the ‘reform’ minded leftists for a long time.
Now that he has found he can raise much more $$ than McCain, suddenly Obama’s “principles” go by the wayside..... and the MSM isn’t freaking out the way they would trash any R. who had broken such a pledge.
So we see that Obama’s “principles” amount to “whatever I can get away with” and “anything I need to do to win”...... well that sounds like a really principled reformer to me.

Wow, really? Obama lying? What a stunning development. Boy, I bet the media really point this out a lot.
soros-funded and approved Obama says *this* ...
“We have created a parallel public financing system where the American people decide if they want to support a campaign they can get on the Internet and finance it, and they will have as much access and influence over the course and direction of our campaign that has traditionally been reserved for the wealthy and the powerful,” Obama said.
... excuse me, but if anyone except a socialist like Obama called the private fundraising a “parallel public financing system” they’d be laughed off the stage.
When millions support Republicans, that is wrong, but when thousands support Obama that “much access and influence over the course and direction of our campaign that has traditionally been reserved for the wealthy and the powerful”
Problem: Obama is getting the vast majority of his money from the wealthy and the powerful, same as everyone else.
