Of course, that was when McCain was doing it.

What a difference being the Republican nominee makes [to whomod]


I, personally, have no problem with either Obama or McCain eschewing public funding of their campaigns since, you know, I believe in free speech.


G-Man do you even pay attention to the stuff you yourself post?

Here, let me explain it to you.

If you go into the public finance system on account of needing funds to keep your candidacy alive, you can't later, when things are going better for you, decide to just drop out of it. It's not a revolving door.

that is what McCain did. Obama, never needing for funds, never went into the public financing system thus this issue doesn't apply to him in any way. Despite you trying (very badly) to confuse the issue.
