McCain hurting

[ProfNo]

The whole idea of public funding makes me sick. The idea that I would have to finance McCain's and Obama's campaign is just terrible.

Yes the article is legit. As much as any news today is legit.

AP news today.

McCain trying to get him to take Federal Funds, so he can take Federal Funds and not have Obama taking him to task.

You are only paying for it if you choose to have $3 taken out of your tax return for it.. If you chose no, then you are not paying.

Since Obama is raking in the cash, it is in his best interest to not take them if it blocks McCain.

I always check NO. Hey, at least we have a choice in the matter. I wish individuals had the opportunity to say where they wanted the rest of their tax money to go.

I smell a moneybomb theme, just can't put my finger on the right words for it.

"Publicly Fund the Ron Paul Campaign and don't check the $3.00 Donation box on your Tax Returns Moneybomb..."

So, in other words, Mr. Campaign Finance Reform is having a bit of trouble finding enough money under his own rules but Obama is not having difficulty.

Somebody remind me - wasn't the whole idea of campaign finance reform supposed to help make sure that candidates with more support from average income people would be able to compete with candidates who just had more wealthy supporters?

This is priceless. I'd be falling out of my chair laughing if it wasn't making me really mad at the same time.
