Although I think Obama made the right decision to bow out of Public Election Financing, I''m afraid big Republican money, knowing their reign will be coming to an end, will contribute TONS of money to McCorpse''s campaign.

Let''s face it 99% of Obama money comes from GrassRoots donors giving less the 50 bucks.

Oh sure trust Steve Forbes, he has no reason to lie about the effects of McCain''s and Bush''s tax cuts, which give wealthy citizens hundreds of thousands of dollars in breaks compared to a paltry few thousand for middle america. I mean, he has nothing to gain by falsely promoting the tax the middle class, spare the rich policies of republicons right? Oh yeah, thats right, the fact that getting even richer by getting McCain elected has nothing to do with it. Always watch who is giving you the message. Unless you make over $200,000 a year, I don''t see why anyone should be a republican, and then the policy for those that are who are rich is: screw the middle class and the health of our nation, I want me some more money!

Get over it the Democrats will sweep congress this year so the President will not have a say. The GOP is getting more nervous each day.

I have/"had" a friend who is a Republican. I asked him how in the world can he support McCain (knowing he is pro-war, pro-Bush etc.) He laughed at me and said simply, "It''s not my problem that the poor are poor or that the poor fight the war..my goal is to hang on to my money and McCain like Bush will make certain that happens". The friend in question is worth millions.

Ariel133....Your implication that we are all just a bunch of whiners and expect the government to support us is way off base. I worked all my life and have never asked the government for anything. I joined the military eleven days after I graduated from high school and served for 4 years. I put myself through college by going to school days and working nights. I was an educator for 26 years and my wife and I worked and saved to prepare for retirement. We paid our home off so we have no mortgage. Then, all of a sudden, we are faced with skyrocketing utility cost, gas cost, food cost, unafordable health insurance and because we say we are having a hard time coping you call us whiners. We aren''t whining! We are cutting back on everything just like everyone else is. We are making a whopping 1 1/2 percent on our savings while the bank loans out at 8 to 10 percent. It must be nice in your world where no one whines.
