Here’s what I don’t get. Why can a candidate spend as much of his own money as he wants on his campaign, but I can only donate a limited amount to his opponent?
Or am I mistaken and we are both limited (therefore causing the candidate to use the old loan-the-campaign-money-that-will-never-be-repaid trick)?
A dope -- for the love of John McCain.
I really don't enough confidence in McCain's intelligence to believe he could be slick enough to pull this off with such cunning. It was all about stroking his immense ego, which the Dems, the media and Pew knew exactly how to do.
This reminded me, though, that McCain's health care reforms pretty much mirrored what the Congressional Republicans are proposing -- buying insurance across state lines, etc. The problem was, he didn't understand it, couldn't explain it, and never bothered to figure out exactly what it was that the Dems were offering (hint, hint -- single payer, John -- over here!).
Not one person, unless I missed it, on this thread praised Michael Steele, RNC Chair for taking this to Court. We have had quite a few Chairs since this went into effect and this is the first one with a backbone to take it to Court.
I applaud Michael Steele for standing up to McCain/Feingold!
“Was he a dope or was he a very willing participant?”
Do you mean “dupe,” as opposed to “dope”? To be duped is to be tricked, whereas a dope is just an idiot.
Woohoo! Great news.
The latter explains so much more than the former.
The RNC should sue McCain for fraudulent misrepresentation, monetary damages and demand their 2008 campaign money be refunded.
