I hate the Jonas brothers. Btw, I'm 22. Not 13.

Excuse me if I find the plight and strength of other people moving. I forgot that Republicans are soulless creatures. (Note the sarcasm)

I'm ignoring your sarcasm and am now offended. Ok, not really. No offense with my earlier comment, just shocked that anyone buys that much of what either of these guys is saying. Maybe I'm jaded, but I just can't get worked up either way. I've got my opinions, but in general I think those that get too far down the path of hero worship are in for a huge letdown.

You're also a guy. I don't expect guys to fall for it or older experienced women, for example LadyB. But I'm still a college girl, I'd fall the same way if a Republican who held at least some of my core values said the same thing.

After someone seriously ruins politics for me, I'll end up as jaded as everyone else.

And no problem with the earlier comment.

I watched and the whole time thought they needed a caption saying. I LIED TO PAY FOR THIS COMERCIAL. If he would have stuck to his words and used public financing (which he praised so much) he could have never afforded this comercial. He saw greener grass in not having the limitations of public funding so he back tracket on his words.

It is interesting how little that is brought up. I guess there are no funny YT clips to go with it.

Funny and sad at the same time. Every time I hear these Obama fanboys I think of the song "Cult of Personality" by Living Colour.

1. Obama was the only candidate to respond to the questionare regarding public financing and here's what he said:

Q: If you are nominated for President in 2008 and your major opponents agree to forgo private funding in the general election campaign, will you participate in the residential public financing system?

A: I have been a long-time advocate for public financing of campaigns combined with free television and radio time as a way to reduce the influence of moneyed special interests. I introduced public financing legislation in the Illinois State Senate, and am the only 2008 candidate to have sponsored Senator Russ Feingold’s (D-WI) bill to reform the presidential public financing system. In February 2007, I proposed a novel way to preserve the strength of the public financing system in the 2008 election. My plan requires both major party candidates to agree on a fundraising truce, return excess money from donors, and stay within the public financing system for the general election. My proposal followed announcements by some presidential candidates that they would forgo public financing so they could raise unlimited funds in the general election. The Federal Election Commission ruled the proposal legal, and Senator John McCain (R-AZ) has already pledged to accept this fundraising pledge. If I am the Democratic nominee, I will aggressively pursue an agreement with the Republican nominee to preserve a publicly financed general election.

2. Obama said "I will peruse" not "I pledge." It might seen a semantics to the untrained eye but there's a huge difference. If I say I'm coming to your party, I am coming to your party unless there's some sort of emergency. If I say I'll try to come to your party, it's highly likely I won't because I suspect a) it's going to be boring or b) there will be too many sussages not enough vegtables.

3. Like him or not Obama is a genius. He basically planned ahead to make sure whatever he decded he was covered under the law.

4. He get's the majority, 97% I beileive, of his money from small donors. Why handicap yourself my limiting the reach of your message when you don't have to? Even if you look at it from the "bright side" he's saving tax payers money and he's not accountable to any big interest lobbyists.

5. McCain and the RNC don't exactly instill confidance in anyone because a) McCain can't really raise any money otherwise he would have opted out too, I mean he has been unscrupulous so offten during this election cycle it hard not to come to this conclusion, b) he has been using public financing for the last two months only which means from March 1st to to August 31st (6 months) he has been using money that didn't come from the public finance pool, c) he waited to see what Obama would do before he commited to public financing which begs the question "why?"


Sorry, this a non-issue...don't get irate and playa hate.

Anyway, let's not act like if McCain had said the same exact thing you wouldn't be all over it

I guess thats like when he said he would debate any where at any time then decided not to take McCains offer to do those town hall type debates. He also opted out of public financing before the sides ever met to discuss the rules which he said he would do.

Does your shoulder get numb when you talk about Obama? You know, from the blood loss?

hahaa, took me a bit to figure out

[saden1]

No, I have always let it be that I am fond the truth.

[MTK]

That was probably better off for McCain, the town hall stuff wasn't his strength anyway.

Not quite, but aren't you doing the same thing?
