McCain is Running Scared... Americans are Declaring Independence Again!
Below is Barack Obama's discussion of why he opted out of public campaign financing. It is a good explanation and the Right thing to do. While McCain will get silly with "flip flopping" he knows exactly why this was done and he is running scared. The Republicans are masters at using surrogates like the "Swift Boat veterans for truth" 527 program. The Republicans not only use these but I am convinced they help coordinate them. Then, if the ads turn out to not work or there is a public outcry, they can disassociate themselves with the group and say they were not part of it. They have their cake and eat it too. They "opt in" but have millions of dollars behind them lying and smearing the Democratic opponent. Well, not this time.
Barack Obaama is going to put together the largest grass roots campaign we have seen in this century. Ordinary Americans are going to "Declare Independence" from the nastiness the Republicans have brought to Washington. We will do this by funding Barack Obama then voting for Barack. And McCain is running scared. he cannot possibly compete on money. He will find every 527 attack ad will be responded to immediately and with overwhelming force. Just like a military operation, you have have to know your enemy and meet them with huge overwhelming force and that is what we are doing. McCain may think it is his destiny to be President but it is not. It is the destiny of this Country that Americans take it back. We will fight for our rights and special interests will die on the vine. The world is changing.
