Why does the Democrats don''t attack McCain for using TAX PAYERS MONEY to fund his election. For some guy who says he will put the people''s money to good use, he is surely contradicting himself, when he use millions of dollars in funds from hard working American to run election. Obama funds come from his supporters, McCain come from the people''s pocket.

Sources of course not this is pundit 101 say it long and hard enough and people will beleive it. That day is come and gone we are not listening to pundits this election we are listening to what the canidates are campable of and John McCain has said the economy is not his strong suit and then he also said the economy is strong.

What world are you and him living in?

I see some folks here who seem to be blinded by the facts. The guy who grew up partly on welfare is the elitist, yet the guy who has so many homes he cannot even count, is the down to earth one. I guess the 2.5 million donors are not US Citizens, which as I understand it, is the public.

The last time I check Goldman Sachs did not give Obama anything, but each person that works there are independent enough to give to who ever they choose, ***, what a thing as having a choice!

I guess OLANDUG please take the time and add some objective news sources to your reading list.

As one of the 2.5 million "regular folks" who donate to Sen. Obama''s inspiring campaign, I am proud of our work and of our nominees! I plan to keep giving "until it hurts" as we like to say - because this election is too important to our country and our future. In fact, I''ve organized a fund raising event in my community with the help of the Obama website. It''s easy and fun to do. Yes We Can!

You can argue over finances all you want.... BUT..

Pray that your sister or daughter never gets raped by someone.
And God forbid that that someone is a part of your family.
Still, if it did happen.....pray even harder that she does not get pregnant.
Because if she does, she''d have no choice but to keep the baby.

That sound fair to you?
That sound logical to you?
That sound American to you?

It should. It is the position of the McCain/Palin ticket.

nothing like having your facts straight john43218...is it $600 or $600k....

Sounds like maybe you could use a refresher in either typing or Econ 101 (like Gov Palin who took a town of approx 5,000 with zero debt to almost 30 million in debt despite raising taxes 33% and borrowing $27 million in federal funds).

Why is the media so bias towards Obama?
There is something very wrong in our society when the media selects a candidate as a favorite.
Have we not learned from history where such blind worship leads?
The dictators Hitler, Mussolini, Kim Jong Il all began as a cult of personality worship. The media for these dictators were slanted during their rise and then controlled after they assumed power. Obama is clearly following the same pattern.
Obama and his wife have a horrendous history of evil and whenever facts of Obama%u2019s infamous life is mentioned, the press ignores it. But for Hillary, McCain or Palin, if they so much as sneeze, they are mercilessly taken thought the ringer and insulted by the press relentlessly.
Is this because we are afraid to criticize an African American or because some powers above are manipulating the media?

And you fools still believe the GOP is the party of the rich? These are not millions of small donors but BIG Trial Lawyers, Hollywood actors and producers, Union bosses, and corporate CEOs. Obama is the elitst Trial Lawyer from Harvard. Cactus John is the down-to-earth Maverick who is sticking to his word about PUBLIC financing, unlike Obama the liar.
