McCain's Campaign Finance ‘Agreement’ Brouhaha?

by Edwin L. Young, PhD
 

Well, John Jewel-Pockets McCain opted for federal campaign funding because he knew, just from the sparse Primary donations he had gotten, that he was going to get short-changed by his Party.  His big contributors were just the big corporations and their lobbyists.  No one in the Republican camp liked him except the hard-core base and they certainly did not like his stage-struck Sarah.  So, from the starting gate, his base was a small number of risk averse elites and their ubiquitous, low-cost but well-funded, diehard reactionary, glib, gutter sputtering, blathering radio talking heads and small town radio jingo-Jesus jock counterparts. 

Of course, he complains because Obama has a huge ground swell of ordinary, low to modest income American donors.  The ‘people’ had finally seen the contrast between opulent, swindling, Republican overlords and their Republican Goebbels-like repetition of lies spread by their cadre of hypocritical scam artists who were continuously flooding the airwaves and spouting, to the easily roused and poorly educated among the populace, the value of bootstrapping your impoverished, hardy, proud, self-reliant life.  Yet, as those lies recently had become so clearly and starkly set along side the reality of their conned, threadbare, and bootless lives, they were flooded with a new light of insight.  Obama only needed make that light spread brightly over the nation for the people to awaken and rally with-a-vengeance and hope to his side.
