NBC attacking liberal groups |
|
NBC is attacking groups like MoveOn.org and ACT and making it sound like they're some dangerous fund raising machine.
I watched the report and listened to McCain carry on about how evil liberal groups were who were raising money to unseat Bush while saying nothing about Bush's fundraising efforts.
I simply can't believe these people. Liberal groups are evil but it's OK for right wing groups to raise money in churches and elsewhere for Bush and no one says a word!
Sorry, had to vent!

9. Campaign finance reform really screwed us and helped the GOP didn't it? |
|
In theory - it's great. In reality, it destroyed our fundraising - because we have always raised lots of money in small amount from many people, through unions and civil organizations - but still let the Republicans take bundled $2,000 checks from rich people.
McCain is a smart Republican - why did we go along with it?

4. Yep, I actually would have _considered_ |
|
voting for him in 2000.
No way I'll ever do that now, even though he supports Public campaigns.

7. What happened to McCain |
|
I don't get these people. If people I considered friends or colleagues said half of what was spread on McCain about me, I wouldn't lift a finger to help them out. How much did he sell his soul for?

15. McCain is probably just jaded |
|
He didn't take the personal attacks from Chimpy personally. He just accepted it as hard ball politics where the other side got the better of him.
He's a diehard right winger to the core.

14. McCain plays the "good cop, bad cop" strategy of political mythology. |
|
His intensions are just as partisan and vile as the bad cop. He is a moderate Trojan horse sent to implant the perception of moderate in the general populace. Perception trumps reality in politics, always remember the talking point is more piecing than the action.
