McCain Fundraising DROPS In February Despite Being Nominee

The measure of a leader.

Obama was asked by Marc Andreessen in early 2007, 'how concerned should we be that you haven't had meaningful experience as an executive -- as a manager and leader of people?'

He said, 'watch how I run my campaign -- you'll see my leadership skills in action.'

No debt. No dirt.

The REAL story is that McCain also busted the public-financing cap, and now could face large fines and/or jail time. The straight-talking campaign finance crusader is shown for all the world to see as a lying weasel who tried to skirt the laws that he himself fathered. And he's still going to lose the election.

.................after your 4 hour nap today, Grandpa McCrazy, please pick up a book and study the difference between a Sunni and Shite, OK??, you bumbling OLD [and I do mean old and senile] FART!!!

He appears in the picture to be every bit as vacant as Ronnie Raygun at the end of his presidency and McCain isn't even in office yet. Too old, too desperate for the oval office, and too delusional to be in the office he holds now.

BUYER'S REMORSE!!!

Let's be fair.

McCain is not campaigning heavily at the moment.

He's using tax payer's money to travel abroad and campaign..Mr straight Talk don't need to raise money legitimately.

Hey the old man can get some of Bush's oil money. Limbaugh can give him a few dollars also. McCain is their boy. The corporations will find a way to fund him if McCain does not forget what his own name is or what a microphone is during the election. This is their biggest fear McCain will forget which war he fought in before he becomes president.

McCain should not worry though. If Hillary wins the democratic nomination, I'll send him a couple of dollars. I am sure a lot of other people will also. He is going to need a lot of money for coffee or some other stimulant to just keep awake. We love him though, like our old grand pa! Old grand pa McCain, my guy!

Among critical priorities for the next president are to responsibly disengage from the Iraq war and to address the country's fiscal and monetary crisis. Both are necessary to our national security and each is linked to the other. McCain sees the Iraq war as going swimmingly, although we still need to have a military presence there for 100-years (maybe only 95 years, if he will count the first five-years). McCain admits to never grasping governmental economics, although he did state that he will buy Alan Greenspan's new book to bone- up (let us hope that he skips the chapters on the value of subprine mortagages and protracted low interest rates). As to the linkage between war and expenses, McCain apparently does not think that borrowing from China, Japan, Mexico and Arab nations at the rate of $15 billion a month has consequences for the economy. Moreover, McCain does not come alone--he brings with him the Republican party and a sure continuation of the neocon infrastructure, Bush cronies and crooks. The troika of McCain, Lieberman and Lindsay Graham are just the "smartest" part of the team, we would also get the rest of them just thown in for bad measure. After eight years of Republican disaster and debacle on both foreign and domestic fronts, with public opinion against the war and for early withdrawl, and with a precarious financial future requiring attention, McCain should be given a courteous laugh, and the country should move on..

The money is going to 527's so McCain can appear to be clean when all the mud starts to fly in the fall.

John W McBomb is the rethugs least disliked and unworthy candidate.

W Jr. was picked over a very weak field of fear and loathing merchants.

Actually, he won because he was most like Reagan (in RR's last year).

That's why we need another tax cut, so Repubs can donate to McBomb.

Don't worry. McLame will drop by Nov. The repubs will hire the Jim Henson people to keep the corpse animated.

McCain is the quintessential accidental president. He was picked as the sacrifical lamb because the GOP realized that they weren't going to win the presidency so wanted to funnel all their money into taking back Congress (look at the massive discrepancy in how much the RNC is outraising the DNC). Meanwhile the Dems are doing their best to ensure McCain wins in spite of this by engaging in civil war between the largely impassive majority who support HRC and the passionate but small minority that support Obama, ensuring that whichever candidate gets the nod, at least 1/3 of the dem party will stay home out of disatisfaction with the candidate. It's fitting that McCain looks like Mr. Magoo, because that's pretty much how he is going to waltz into the White House.

Hardly surprising. Republicans have their nominee by default because the other "contenders" were such laughable failures that the only man left standing was a guy who was on the ropes just a few months ago.

There is a substantial record of conservative contempt for McCain and if he wins the Presidency it will also be by default. That's one reason former McCain enemies like Limbaugh are trying to paint Obama as a trojan horse whose insides are crawling with bloodthirsty black nationalists trying to get out.

They want the country to stick with good old white nationalism. But it ain't gonna happen this time. As Bill Richardson said, we have a once in a lifetime leader and we'll join forces for this opportunity.

As the horse's carcass is being removed after expiring in the gate, bettors rush to the windows in a panic.

John McCain is like the cabin boy who just got a promotion to Captain...of the Titanic. Bush/Cheney have looted the ship and lashed the wheel directly on course to hit the iceberg. "Here, John, enjoy your new title...we'll be taking leave of the ship now...enjoy the rest of the cruise to New York!"

Why does he need more money? Ohio, Florida and Michigan, plus Diebold everywhere else, have already given him the Presidency.

Wall Street has had a bad month, and their sort of taking that eldery midday nap. They will wake up to the ringing of the phone....1985 is calling again.

McCAIN - A CONCEPT OF COURAGE

Of all people who's integrity can be questioned, isn't McCain the last on that list? A whole career in Washington and he's still standing tall.

Agree with him or not, he's not swaying with winds of polls.

The way the Associated Press tallied McCain's expenditures, he's busted the spending limit, which is a violation of the law:
McCain has now spent $58.4 million in his primary bid, surpassing the $50 million limit he would have faced if he participated in the public financing system he had been certified to join. McCain has decided not to accept the public matching funds, but the FEC wants him to assure regulators that he did not use the promise of public money as collateral for a $4 million loan.

McCain and his lawyers said the loan was secured with other collateral, thus freeing him to spend as much money as he wishes on his primary campaign. The Democratic National Committee has filed a complaint with the FEC arguing McCain cannot withdraw from the public finance system without FEC approval.

I've been saying since it became clear who the Republican candidates were going to be that the 2008 presidential election will see record Democratic voter turnout, while a significant number of Republican voters will stay home in silent dissatisfaction with their candidate. I believe the fractures created by Bush's destructive presidency and the poor quality of Republican candidates are both insurmountable obstacles. Too many voter segments within the Republican party can't find a heartfelt reason to vote for John McCain. And the Democrats are just getting started in pointing out McCain's revisionist views, hypocrises and ignorance of judgment in his supporting all of Bush's Iraq War policy failures and his support of immigration policies that the majority of Republicans were opposed to. Even though many Democrats believed that McCain was the best option the Republicans had, not enough Republicans share that belief. It's one thing to go out and vote for someone despite "their" minor political differences; but it's another thing entirely to go out and vote for someone that requires you to ignore "your" ingrained personal biases. When it comes to conscious and unconscious bias, the factions within today's Republican Party know no equal.
