Why is there no mention of McCain opting out of the primary public financing system when he tried to use it to get on the ballot and get loan financing based on his acceptance of it?Yep, it's much better that Obama belittles the guy every chance he gets, and asking a question of a politician is going to result in a full blown investigation into your background, financial status, and work status.
Makes me not want to ask him any questions.. Good Strategy. Someone asks you a question you don't like, ruin their lives.
I'm curious what you think about this:
Making mountains out of a mole hills...I suggest that any discussion of this issue is not complete without at least some reference to John McCain's use of his wife's corporate jet, which, albeit technically legal, is an example of the "broken" system that gives the candidate with greater personal wealth (or wealthier spouse)a huge advantage.
(See NYT 4/27/08: "McCain Frequently Used Wife's Jet for Little Cost" and 5/10/08: "McCain Plane Still Flying."
The article concluded: "Mr. McCain has said his campaign's method of reimbursing his wife's company for the plane is legal, and no one disputes that. But critics have argued that Mrs. McCain is effectively subsidizing her husband's campaign because either she or her company has to make up for the difference between what his campaign pays for the jet's use and what it really costs to operate it."
