Plus their flawed view of human nature, which is based on Rousseau's Panglossian kumbaya schmaltz instead of the intrinsic evil nature of humans without strict governance.<BR/><BR/>Unless McCain lurches even further into silly second-rate attempts to sidle left until he becomes unpalatable for anyone with a backbone.

Why did Obama sign on for public financing seventeen months ago and make such a big deal of it? It was an advantage at the time. Now that it is not, like everything else in Obama's world, it is disposable and spinnable. He asks us to take him at his word, but his word is meaningless. Everything about Obama says that he does the political calculus on everything, then claims the moral highground. He is far more disingenuous than even Bill Clinton was. If you think that a welcome trait in a leader, you and I disagree strongly.<BR/><BR/>I wrote at length why I think having a leader who operates on principle is so important at this point in time. You can find it here. http://wolfhowling.blogspot.com/2008/02/ann-coulter-rush-limbaugh-and-mccain.html <BR/>If you disagree, I'd be more than happy to debate this one with you.GWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05814327154035433443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5492310882851199969.post-22068279297128337132008-06-21T13:02:00.000-04:002008-06-21T13:02:00.000-04:00I would wager if the roles were reversed, and it w...I would wager if the roles were reversed, and it was McCain raising hundreds of millions and Obama was struggling to raise money, McCain would opt out of public financing as well. Elections are war. In war, you don't simply throw away an advantage if you are serious about winning. I am no fan of Obama but this is one strategy I can't fault him for.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5492310882851199969.post-87837429330959757232008-06-20T20:08:00.000-04:002008-06-20T20:08:00.000-04:00GW, have you read David Brooks op-ed in the NYT.
