Didn’t they just file a lawsuit over McCains’s doing the same exact thing?......................
Yes the DNC did. They are trying to limit the amount of money that Mr. CFR can spend on his election so the Democrats can win by getting more ad time, more 527 exposure, and crushing the competition.
There is NO free speech in Obama's Amerikkka. Get used to it.
Democrats are out to win by any means necessary. Socialists lie. ALWAYS.
In a word, "no."
The issue with McCain is on the subject of public money for a PRIMARY campaign. McCain applied for that, "had his application approved" (the FEC certified his eligibility, and recited the amount of money the government owed him). There is an open question about whether or not McCain "used" the FEC promise to pay as collateral for a loan, or otherwise to advantage (IMO, he did, but the penalty is a $25,000 fine).
OTOH, Obama NEVER applied for public money in the PRIMARY campaign.
There is a completely separate system for funding a GENERAL election campaign. With regard to the general, both candidates have said, more or less "I'm in, if my opponent is in." Now McCain can blame Obama for breaking a promise - but I think it's better viewed as which one would be first to opt out so both can opt out. Now both can say thatteh public money is inadequate anyway, and advocate for increased amounts of public money so candidates aren't tempted to opt-out.
Absolutely. They want to tether McCain to public financing and legally prevent him from being competitive. It’s the “Chicago Way.”
This is guy is running for dictator. Soon after he becomes president we will all be sent to the gulags and reeducation camps and then come the lampshade factories.
Go figure. Sue McCain for doing it first then do it yourself and tell the sheeple what a responsible messiah you are.
Change, change you can believe in
Actually, I think he used the promise of public funding as collateral for a loan to his campaign at the same time as he was opting our out, or something similar.
Seriously? I missed that, double standards I guess. Do you happen to have any links?
Yes, however having (R) behind one's name instead of (D) is proved to be a breaker as to who is considered to be legitimate and who is considered illegitimate these day's.
What is allowed for the king of the gods is not allowed for cattle.
Apparently this is the new motto of the Democrat party.
