The only reason people are making this out to be an issue is because we all saw it coming.  As soon as I saw  the kind of money he was bringing in, I knew he would refuse public financing.  This is a stupid issue.  It does not effect any of us.  In the slightest.

What the hell else are the Republicans gonna talk about?

The economy?

The war?

The other war?

The next war they are planning? 

The GI Bill?

The restoration of habeus corpus? 

McCain's record?

McCain and his second wife?

McCain embracing torture?

Health care?

I mean isn't it obvious why they want to talk about this sooooo bad.

You're right.  Its why this is fucking ridiculous.  The media is all over it.  And, I can't seem to figure out why.

You want to know why this an issue? It is because people want to change the rules in the 3rd quarter.

If everyone sat down and agreed to a certain set of rules (along with Obama) before the primaries even began then Obama would be wrong here.

Every time campaign finance reform and publicly funded elections were mentioned in the past the Republicans jumped up and down like a bunch of shaved apes.

Now that the Republicans have a presidential candidate and a bunch of other Republican Congressional candidates that can't raise a dime on their own they have to reach into my pocket like a bunch of welfare queens to run their campaigns. Obama and the DNC is doing it the American way and the Republicans are whining like a bunch of girls because in is not going their way.

Sorry, the time to make the rules is before the game starts and not three quarters of the way through. So maybe the next time someone wants to set the ground rules before the game starts, try working together. Now the Republicans want to pull old quotes and cry foul because it is not going their way.

Sorry Republicans, you got the shitty end of the stick. The end.
