During the last weeks of the campaign, I was so excited about Palin, I forgot about all these dumb things in McCains past. Now in the reflections of defeat, is it any wonder why the man lost.

The world is getting sicker by the day.

IMHO the Republicans AND Conservative Parties had better start accepting each other or we are finished running against the Democrat Party. This election and the lack of organization has shown us that we had ALL better get our act together and fast. "Divided we fall", remember that one? None of this, my way or the highway SH!T.

McCain tried to corral Obama into accepting matching funds. What else could he do?

Oh, so the lesson to learn here is that if you get enough money from enough shady sources, and constantly lie and cover up about it, the govt. will let you go because there’s just too much volume to do a good audit. And being a DemonRat definitely helps.

But if you act in good faith and follow the rules, they’ll hound you until the day you die.

I constantly marvel at how things like this can happen in our country. It’s convincing me that this is a supernatural event in our history. I mean “End Times”-type-supernatural, either the Revalations kind, or just the fall of a mighty civilization, but it’s An End either way.

I think this is THE most important issue for conservatives now — auditing the Obama campaign.

I think it stands to effect all future campaigns.

Obama reneges on his "promise" to accept presidential campaign funds (and limits) and gets $200M delivered via questionable internet donations and the FEC says "Oh well".

McCain keeps his promise to accept presidential campaign funds (and limits) and gets an anal exam from the FEC for the next ten years.

This from the article: "Obama is expected to escape that level of scrutiny...because the sheer volume of cash he raised and spent minimizes the significance of his errors."

We live in he f*ing twilight zone! Our enemies have got to be laughing their asses off.

There is no law too big to break to force this Marxist down our throats. Our Courts, Congress and entire government is now a total joke.

Why would anybody take public funding if they could do what 0bama did with illegal contributions from the US (I would love to know how much Soros and moveon.org pumped into 0bama’s campaign) and from overseas (all of which was illegal and totalled as much as $75 million — almost as much as public funding provided to McCain).

The FEC should as a matter of practice audit each candidate’s campaign spending. This is the time to get the illegal money on the table.
