Go [url "http://www.fec.gov/DisclosureSearch/mapApp.do?cand_id=P00000003&searchType=&searchSQLType=&searchKeyword="]here[/url] to see McCains. $84 million in federal money was spent on his campaign. Hmmm..... [/quote]
Are you saying that Obama's rich friends (private donations by hollywood etc) actually bought the election?
Hmmmmm.
McCain has always been about campaign finance reform so don't feed us that crap.[

I'm not saying McCain did anything wrong. Using that money was perfectly legitimate. I was just pointing out that the 'facts' he stated were false, and it was actually McCain, not Obama, who used taxpayer $$ for his campaign.
And yes, I'm sure all the money donated by those people who supported his campaign did have an influence on the election. We'll never know just how much though. Nothing illegal about that either.
I don't know how good of a President he'll be. I hope he'll make some improvements, restore good relations with other countries, help our economy, bring our troops home responsibly, etc. etc. I hope he doesn't royally screw up the second amendment.
All I know is, it would be very difficult to do worse than Mr. Bush, who gave us the Patriot Act, the biggest infringement of our rights ever, and who went into Iraq under false pretenses, starting a war that has spiraled into a nightmare, etc.
Most elections for me are voting for the lesser of two evils, unfortunately. [:p]
