Just reporting the truth, K. If you can't accept it, it's really not my problem.

After all, I understand that love is blind. But you're going to wake up real quick and discover that you've been humping an ugly duckling.

BTW....did you watch that news conference today? Off script he's full of an awful lot of "uhs" and "duhs". Not quite as polished and brilliant without a script writer. Stay tuned, though, I'm sure there will be more to come. Pretty soon he'll be standing there with "no clothes" on at all, exposed as the fraud he is, but which of you lapdogs will have the nards to tell your emperor?

Right. I was an over $200 under $2300 donor. So what? The only difference
is that we donated to the Obama campaign and he spent it to get elected.
McCain, on the other hand, let the 527s do his dirty work. I'm still
waiting to see what those who ran the odious Rev. Wright commercial paid
for the privilege of running it on every single network all day long in
every slot from 11/2 through 11/4 poll closing in california. It was a
national ad buy, those don't come cheap.

But oh! That's right. Senator McCain accepted public financing. Don't you
see the corner they were trying to paint Obama into? The RNC and 527s were
fired up and ready to fund anything McCain needed, including clothes for
Gov. Palin. But had Obama accepted public financing, all of us small donors
would have been SOL.

Don't cry to me about the public financing debacle. Obama had his share of
max'ed donors, but he had a helluva lot more like me.

Takes a lot of nerve to write that without the facts. Go aggregate the funding for mccain and you discover a startling fact: he had more. Yup, that's right

I and many others paid for obama's campaign, in little chunks. It would have deeply disappointed me not to have partipated in this democracy that way. I'm sorry you have a problem with that. I'm guessing ferom your tone that no matter what happens in the future, you'll find a way to hate it. In the end, that's your loss, not mine

All this election has proven is that corruption and money trump integrity every time. Mr. “Game-Changer” showed that he has no more character than the creeps on Capitol Hill. For a guy who so loudly opposed the "trickle-down" theory of economics, he certainly didn't mind abandoning his promise to stay away from corporate funding in this election. This enabled him to outspend McCain by hundreds of millions of dollars on advertising, flooding the airwaives in key battleground states with up to four times as many ads as the GOP. I guess the evils of TDE only apply to the other guy, huh Barry?

Obama's no different than anyone else, as you will soon see. But, hey, what can I say? Love is blind, isn’t it?
