Promises:

Lucy: hey Charlie Brown, kick this football I'm holding here.

Can you imagine the uproar about "fat-cat" Republican donors if McCain did this?

Big federal funding is ripping us off.

Well - someone has done the calculations for him.
A meagre $80 mill or so - or private donations (from across the globe, a few $200-00 at a time) well above $120 mill and counting?
Thats a no-brainer, really.

Israel's Truce With Hamas Is a Victory for Iran

Proponents of an Israeli-Palestinian accord are praising the cease-fire between Israel and Hamas that went into effect this morning. Yet even if the agreement suspends violence temporarily -- though dozens of Hamas rockets struck Israel yesterday -- it represents a historic accomplishment for the jihadist forces most opposed to peace, and defeat for the Palestinians who might still have been Israel's partners.

I seem to remember that John McCain did not want to forego matching money but the commission that was supposed to rule on his financing did not have a quorum and the dhimmies would not appoint a replacement to it (on purpose of course) so John had to skip the Fed money. Barak of course has no such problem now does he?

Actually, as slimeball tactics go, you have to admire the guy. Rope-a-dope McCain into making an issue out of using public money (which McCain is on record as advocating) then bail out on the deal and out-fundraise the sh*t out of him. BO knows the MSM will give him a pass on this so now he can outspend McCain, and if McCain tries to back out of public funding BO can use his MSM mouthpiece to scream HYPOCRITE at him from now to election day.

Pretty clever ploy...

While the Reverend Wright
Damned America and
Put down Jews and Whites

"who's the next Kennedy?"
and made y'all think
it was truly me

And I played all the race cards
And threw all my friends under the bus

Pleased to meet you

I hope McCain rakes Obama over the coals for this one.

Wow, so Obama did what I think EVERY candidate should do, he said no to sucking off the taxpayers to try and get elected.

I can't imagine WHY ANY conservative would even think the idea of taxpayer funded campaigns are ok? like we are footing the bill for enough things these days? We need to be ELIMINATING programs that ARE NOT what the government was intended for, getting back to the basics. We need to be CONDEMNING those who celebrate sucking off the government tit because "that makes it fair". Fairly poor, for fairly much everyone, that's what all this non-essential government spending is.

Yeah B.H. Obama went back on his word, big surprise, and big deal. That Johny boy WANTED to go that way, and the crap bill he got passed that screws with campaign financing, well it serves him right if he gets shafted by it. Rule number TWO should be to never TRUST a liberal, but rule NUMBER ONE should be NEVER TO ACT LIKE ONE. He broke both rules. We're screwed, he's screwed, and shame on us for letting it come to this, we should have never been willing to settle for a phony conservative to begin with.

As much as I'm sure Obama will break every promise he's ever made before this is all over, Charles may be wrong to call him out on this one. Obama promised to use Federal funds only if McCain did also. But according to some, McCain has already refused to take the money, opening the door for Obama to do the same. No dishonesty there.

Now, I can appreciate that there is some confusion, since this BBC report, dated 6/19, says:

Mr McCain has said he is likely to take the public money.

But this article, dated 6/17, seems to indicate that the decision not to take federal monies had alrerady been made by the McCain camp:

Democratic Party officials plan to file a new lawsuit to compel federal regulators to investigate whether Sen. John McCain violated election laws by withdrawing from public financing.

The Democratic National Committee announced Tuesday it will sue next week in U.S. District Court. It will ask the court to order the Federal Election Commission to examine, within 30 days, the legality of McCain's decision to reject $5.8 million in taxpayer funds.

I don't know what the true story is, but it's perhaps too soon to call Obama a promise-breaker here.

Obama will throw America under the bus! Mark my words!

Dirty lying Chicago politician.

Obama's BUS is as broken as he is and I am getting sick of hearing him say how everything is broken.

Change his promise.

That is the CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN.
