The Wall Street Journal - Washington Wire ^ | 2008-10-19 | Elizabeth Holmes

Both of the candidates are gateways to Big Government.

[Balding_Eagle]

ANY candidate is a gateway to big governement.

[Mygirlsmom]

It would seem to me that BO's huge fundraising numbers don't do much to support his claim that the wealth needs to be "spread around" on his side of things. /s

I can tell you, we're struggling right now and campaign contributions come down pretty low on my list of expenditures right now.

[pissant]

IF McCain wins, look for the ‘Son of McCain/Feingold/Thompson’ to rear up its ugly head.

[Norman Bates]

I hope you mailed in your absentee ballot. Both sides are not equal here.

[JustTheTruth]

Maybe our candidate will finally start to realize the truth that his liberal allies in previous campaign finance reform efforts and legislation were purely trying to create an advantage for Liberals in fund raising!

Is there any hope that McCain's misplaced idealism about "reaching across the isle" to deceitful leftists will finally be the bubble that bursts in his understanding?

[rabscuttle385]

IF McCain wins, look for the ‘Son of McCain/Feingold/Thompson’ to rear up its ugly head.

Before or after the "Son of McCain-Kennedy" and the "Bastard Stepchild of McCain-Lieberman"?

[dhfnc]

But McCain isn’t the gateway to Socialism .....

[Ulysse]

BOTH? NO!

Not on the same level !

One of them is an INTERNATIONAL SOCIALIST BLACK ACTIVIST FORMER MUSLIM who think USA must be blamed for everything... !

Is that clearer now?

[scooby321]

I would like to have his donors vetted.

[mysterio]

Wonder how he feels about McCain Feingold now?

[plain talk]

McCain repeatedly referred to the Watergate scandal that resulted in the impeachment of former President Richard Nixon

Nixon was not impeached. He resigned.

[Ben Reyes]

Veiled reference to illegal contribution from overseas and non-citizens.

That needs to be said bigtime.

[rabscuttle385]

I hope you mailed in your absentee ballot.

No, I have not.

McCain has two weeks to convince me not to drive home, spoil the absentee ballot, and pull the lever for a third-party candidate.

Both sides are not equal here.

No, but they are approximately equal.

[Arizona Carolyn]

More than double August??? $150 million????? I smell a huge rat.... huge!!!!!! The OBambi campaing has finally gotten reckless. I don’t see how anyone can look at that and not raise major eyebrows. and.... anyone who knows how to look this up, tell me did this mostly come on the 30th of September?

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

McCain has never convinced me to vote for him. I'm voting for Palin but have to include McCain in the deal.

[Ben Reyes]

Veiled reference to illegal contributions from non-citizens.

That needs to be said.

[Arizona Carolyn]

This is not legal fundraising on Obama’s part... no way, no how..... this is not McCain/Feingold this is major corruption... people need to get their heads out of their rears and look at this for what it is.

[Unam Sanctam]

I’m worried about how much of it is foreign-sourced.
