GOP outrage over Obama’s decision to forego funding
The GOP is feigning outrage at Obama’s decision to forego matching public funds for his campaign. Did the GOP or the McCain camp really, even for a moment, think that Obama camp would agree to public financing after the vast advantage they have had over McCain in fund raising. I mean who is being naive here?
It would be akin to fighting with one hand tied behind your back, especially with all the 527 groups getting their knives ready to stick in Obama’s back for upcoming fall campaign.

About
Welcome to my blog, a result of the 2008 Presidential election. Never have I been so involved in politics and learnt so much about myself and others, as I have during this campaign. I think there are no conservatives or liberals in the real world. They only exist on TV and radio.
I am a moderate and independent. I don’t believe that anything in this world is black and white. We are just not afforded the luxury of simplicity as everything lies somewhere in that grey area. There is some good and some evil, everything else is in the middle.
Therefore, I am for limited use of capital punishment, and for a women’s right to choose.
I am for those so called enhanced interrogation techniques, but not for legalizing then. I believe if their is truly that scenario of a ticking bomb, hey by all means.
I believe human behaviour is responsible for climate change. I am not sure that Global warming is the only result of it though, as I think it is too narrow a term to encompass everything we are doing to the environment.
I am a fiscal conservative and thereby for smaller government and fewer entitlements but do believe we need to pay our fair share of taxes, I just don’t want to see my taxes wasted by the government.
I am for open borders all across the world. If you are for free trade and a global economy and against immigration you are only avoiding the inevitable.
There are things you make agree with this on this blog and things you may not. If you agree great drop me a line, if you don’t, feel free to drop me a line and tell me why. I will give you a chance to change my mind or you can give me a chance to change yours.
Happy Reading and have fun.

Hi Goodtimepolitics
I don’t believe supporting a candidate means agreeing with them on every single issue. I for one agree with the need for the overhaul of the FISA bill, just not to the extent the Bush administration wants to push it. Right now the powers this government is asking for in the name of fighting Islamic terrorism if they become the law, can easily be misused by someone else, for fighting some other so called evil 20 years from now. People who call themselves Republicans and ask for smaller government should be very wary. This is how totalitarian regimes are created.
I am not an Obama supporter by the way. At least not yet, but the way McCain is going he just might push me in that camp.
you are as just a pawn of obama’s aspirations to become president. he won’t even represent you wen he wins fool. he will represent the wealthy interests of the democratic party (ex. trial lawyers). All your populist interests are out the window. Dude, just get a job and try to win with the system, the hand outs aren’t coming you lazy goofy bastard you!
Ha ha ha. Dumbass.
