  “Words Matter” - Barack Obama

• 2. MooMoo  |  June 19th, 2008 at 9:03 pm

  “McCain and Obama both declined public financing in the primary contests, thus avoiding the spending limits that come with the money. McCain had initially applied for the money, however, and has been in a dispute with the Federal Election Commission over whether he needed its approval to decline the funds. The FEC insists that he does, but has not had a quorum to act because four of its six seats have been vacant pending Senate confirmation of presidential nominees. McCain lawyers have disputed the need for FEC approval.”

  Words do Matter…

  What say you about Obama going back on his word to take public funding for the general election, MooMoo?

  This is not a “flip flop” but a lie. He even makes it worse by saying that he is doing it because the system is broken What an arrogant turd. Then he goes on to say he is doing it because McCain is smearing him with the 527 groups, when MoveOn is the only group running general ads yet. Can one lib poster here show us the 527 ad Obama is talking about? Moo Moo, can you in particular show us what 527 ad is smearing Obama right now?

  Moo Moo,

  Also, I will remind you that it is the Harry Reid Senate that is holding up the confirmations. Today they debated pay raises………for themselves.

  “McCain is “not going to stop the smears and attacks from his allies running so-called 527 groups, who will spend millions and millions of dollars in unlimited donations,” Obama said.

  Ironically, there are no major Republican independent efforts attacking Obama, though the left-leaning MoveOn.org has put more than $500,000 behind an advertisement showing a mother telling McCain that he can’t take her infant son to war.

  Pressed to name an independent effort, Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs cited Floyd Brown, an obscure Republican operative who has produced web videos attacking Obama’s religion and his record, but had not raised enough money to air them”

  So you call the truth “smears” and “attacks”?

  And how exactly does this work, Free speech and all, McCain makes 527 groups stop? Is that a joke? You really think the public interest is served by censoring free speech?

  Wake up.
