Questionable Goods?

John McCain lashed out today at Barack over his half-hour TV special, and calling his new plans for energy, health-care and tax system as questionable as any item bought off of an infomercial. Now its not that hard to understand why Barack's million dollar TV spot would get McCain so riled up, he after all has to pinch his pennies when it comes to spending ad dollars.

John McCain also again attacked Barack for refusing to remain fettered to public financing just like him. Of course, what McCain didn't say was that the RNC has, and is continuing to, add hundreds of millions of dollars to its campaign coffers in an effort to both boost John McCain's campaign, as well as, smear Barack. The RNC has for years been the well-oiled political machine that both Bush and now McCain have used to further enhance their own resources. Barack Obama understood that if he stuck to public financing he would be starting the campaign way behind in terms of capital and so he did the smart thing and backed out even though he knew that McCain and his campaign staff would hit him with both barrels.

But as most of us understand, in refusing to except "public financing" Barack was still going to recieve massive amounts of small donations through the internet that would put him way ahead of McCain. What is this if not financing from the public. In accepting our donations, Barack his given us a voice in this campaign that we might not have had if he had chosen to stick to public finance. Those of you who have given to Barack have paid for the stage, literally and figuratively, that our nominee now stands on. I salute everyone of you who has contributed even just a little bit to Barack. If you didn't realize it already John McCain is trying to throw everything plus the kitchen sink at our guy because he is bitter. He is bitter at the fact that the majority of the people in this country either can't stand him, or do not think he has what it takes to be the President.

He knows that we will not be swayed by his false promises and falser image, and so he is going after the independents and the center Republicans and telling them that Obama is nothing but cheap theatrics and gimmicks paid for through broken promises. No John, we paid for it and we're proud for it and in attacking it you are attacking all the citizens who felt that it was their duty as patriots to save this country from your warmongering and decrepitude.

By the way John, I bought a George Forman grill off an infomercial 5 years ago, and it still works just like new.
