Senator John McCain toiled for years to push a campaign finance overhaul through Congress. After the measure finally passed, Trevor Potter, a lawyer and vigorous advocate for reforming the system, was instrumental in defending the law from challenges and pressing for strict enforcement.

These people are fucking creeps. They act all "maverick" but when the heat is on they are just as twisted as the rest. Screw McCain. I hope Obama/Biden call them on the carpet for this.

1. Obama should destroy McCain over this!

McCain told you he was for campaign finance reform. He lied. Palin said she was against earmarks. She lied. What else are they lying to you about?

2. Yup...plain and simple.

The problem is the Dems have such many commercial content and not enough time. They could write commercials for years due to the material McSame/Palin are giving them. Where to start...

3. Pinocchio wearing flip-flops, Palin eye-glasses, long nose and Bush as the marionette.
