there's a little over four months to go...you're not gonna survive.
Those that pay attention to the DooDoo Talking Heads were never too swift to begin with...lack a few marbles betwixt the ears. One has to believe that they're in the minority and most thinking people do not want another four years of Bush-isms.

11. Gotta give this another kick. |
|
If anyone asks you about Obama's opting out of public financing, show them this. It really says it all.

How does forgoing public funding protect Obama from hostile 527's?

20. Because when there is 250 million dollars going against you |
|
you can respond directly, instead of hoping that a 527 that you cannot coordinate with does it for you, without being able to mention your name? :shrug:

26. It doesn't, what means is that instead of using taxes already paid to the Federal government |
|
he will be asking for donations that far exceed the approximately $86 million or so dollars.
I mark that every year on my tax return, I guess the Feds will find some other use for it.
Good timing with gas at $4 a gallon and probably $5 a gallon by the fall.

22. Absolutely...smart thinking. |
|
Public financing...sematics? Is Obama not accepting donations, financing, from the public? A more honest means...dedicated. That's my take and I stand by it. If McCain thought that he could match Obama he'd flip in a moment...a record flip-flop.
What is the source of "public financing?" A check mark on an IRS Form 1040(n) you say? Enough of this, but...
Agree with Obama, there must be a revamping of the system.
