A Fool and His Money…
John McCain is now taking public funds for the election- to the tune of about $84 million.
Yes, I know, I know… it is ironic that Mr. Campaign finance reform can’t make money, while Democrats can. In a year where we have an unpopular war (that ‘popularity’ depends on “success”, and few of us can determine how to adequately define that), rising gas prices, and a recession in the making, it is no surprise that a Republican would have a hard time raising cash.
It has been intimated that Obama claimed HE would take public funding if the Republican candidate agreed to. But we know how things like that go. What is said today by a Democrat is quickly changed by tomorrow. One might even claim that the Democrat party is the “Woman’s Prerogative” party… always reserving the right to change one’s mind; or story; or plea.
When one considers the political faux pas’ of the two jokers on the left; when one considers the inexperience of Obama, and the fake experience of Hillary; when one considers the lies concerning their history; when one considers close ties to racists— it is absolutely perplexing the amount of money Obama, and yes, even Hillary have been able to raise.
One might claim that they have raised record levels of cash due to record levels of interest and sharp political tactics. I would say that the only thing they have raised is the interest of a party of fools…
…and we know what they say about fools and money.
While the groundswell of money from the left is impressive, we must simply remember that even rich fools will falter. Money cannot save stupidity, buy a reputation, or create a history of experience.
