Your Daily Politics Video Blog: John McCain: straight shootin’ maverick and courageous champion of campaign finance reform. So then why is he currently doing his best to defy the FECand make his own set of campaign finance rules? We puzzle it all out in today’s episode of TPMtv.

You have no point here! It was Obama who said he would not accept private donations and then lied and changed his mind making it impossible to have a fair election without Mccain doing the same.GET YOUR FACT STRAIGHT! Obama also took over 27 thousand dollars in donations from Lehman Brothers.

A good analysis of the duplicity of John McCain. Barack Obama has maneuvered around the spending limits as well. He just managed to do it more smoothly, and legally. For an alternative to this and other campaign financing debacles check out my commentary. My plan may not collect enough money to cover future presidential races, but it would sure go a long way towards cleaning up Congress. Get involved in the debate. Enter a comment. Talk to your friends. Get involved.

Time to toss Grampy McAlzheimer’s into prison.

Thanks for that. Leave it to Republicans to pull every trick out there. Obama better look out for the voter caging (Google that)and voter roll purging that will undoubtedly go on before November.

You people are stupid. CLEARLY, don’t vote for obama, hillary, or mccain. VOTE for RON PAUL 2008! He is the only one that is going to squash the system and get rid of these corrupt politicians.

A drunkard.

And to answer your question I will vote for obama over clinton, and mccain over clinton. and I will pray that all of us look past the two parties next election term and that we stop supporting the democrats and repubplicans which are both bought and paid for.
#11 by tasha122277 - March 16th, 2009 at 15:18
CLUE: Obama is part of the Democratic party, and they are bought and paid for by special interests like AIPAC. Until we eject from the 2 party system, and elect somebody interested in this concept, america is bought and paid for.

Yeah! Get some brand new rotten power. We are so screwed.
#13 by JiveDadson - March 21st, 2009 at 22:49
The compound word “no-one” contains either a dash or a space. “Noone” is a last name. And maybe Old English for lunch time.
I was making a funny. I would say I won’t quit my day job, but I don’t have one to quit.

So what are you then?
#15 by montiperotti - March 24th, 2009 at 10:36
???? wasn’t that what fishbuc said?
#16 by montiperotti - March 26th, 2009 at 23:40
So why not vote for Obama and get rid of some old rotten power. I agree the Clintons are pretty bad, but McCain in power would just be a disaster for the world’s security and peace. Even though we don’t know how Obama will react (as he keeps contradicting himself), at least we know there’s a chance he won’t be another Clinton or Bush in power. Just a little chance, but a chance nonetheless.
#17 by cartoonglutton - March 27th, 2009 at 07:41
The fact that G.W. endorsed the senator doesn’t give McCain the right to flagrantly break the law like Bush does every day he’s in office.
#18 by JiveDadson - March 28th, 2009 at 20:33
“Noone should be above the law.”
I disagree! Just because a person is a Monkee should not put him above the law. No one should be above the law.
#19 by JiveDadson - March 29th, 2009 at 02:22
How utterly bizarre this is! He is committing a felony under the McCain-Feingold law that he co-sponsored. His defense says the law is unconstitutional. Okay, I agree with that last part. It is. But before he co-authored and voted for the bill, he swore an oath to preserve the constitution. I know a teeny, tiny bit about law, from defending a bogus patent law suit. There’s a principle called “estoppel.” Basically it says you can’t have it both ways. I wonder if that shouldn’t apply here.
#20 by JiveDadson - March 31st, 2009 at 01:22
He is breaking the McCain-Feingold Act - a felony.
#21 by tasha122277 - March 31st, 2009 at 16:23
our current system makes it difficult to reach the presidency without selling out, and mccain used to call attention to this himself, he is far still less shady than clinton, (whose cronies sent a $24 million letter to pelosi). i will vote for mccain before i vote for clinton any day.

Obama is TOAST since Rev Wright & *** with LARRY
There is another story going around some guy is saying he had *** with Obama his name is Larry / just type in Obama and Larry to check it out
Obama has ties to a former leader of the violent left-wing activist group the Weather Underground are drawing new scrutiny FBI looking
Cassius Clay who waited until after he became world champion to change his name to Muhammad Ali and tell the world he was a Black Muslim. will Obama will do the same

Get moveon and many other org’s on this. Expose McCain.
Noone should be above the law

I agree with you, ShiekUrBooty. The “R” or “D” after one’s name doesn’t mean ****.
Dogshit socialist MexiCain claims to be a republican. What a load of horse ****.
#25 by ShiekUrBooty - April 5th, 2009 at 20:59
Southern Baptist Democrats like Bush and his followers have sullied the Republican party long enough and should move back to the Democratic party.
