McCain Says Obama's Donations May Lead To Scandal-What a Creep!!! He Must be Really Really Mad!!!
McCain: Obama cash will lead to scandal


John McCain suggested that his Democratic rival Barack Obama’s record-shattering fundraising haul will lead to scandal in their presidential race and future races, and he hinted that there may already be funny business going on with Obama’s legions of small donors.

excerpt:

I’m saying it’s laying a predicate for the future that can be very dangerous,” McCain told host Chris Wallace in a live interview from Ohio on Sunday morning, blasting the Illinois senator for not voluntarily disclosing his small donors, as McCain has done.

“There’s $200 million of those campaign contributions — there’s no record. You can report online now. Two hundred million that we don’t know where it came from. Lot of strange things going on in this campaign. The American people should know where every penny came from,” McCain said. “They know where every penny of my campaign contributions came from.”

5. Can this man say ANYTHING that's not an Obama slam? What do you think of
Bush calling in the world financial leaders, John? Any good ideas for stimulating job growth, John?

Not only are his ads and Robo Calls despicable, now he doesn't talk about anything but how scary Obama is!

It's not going to work -- save any shred of self respect you may have left and STFU.

6. I think this campaign has been run in as squeaky-clean a manner as anyone could these days...
The RNC will do anything they can in the way of character assassination. Anything. I don't think they will find much, but you can rest assured they will try to make a garbage mountain out of a gum-wrapper.

7. At least four of those donations are from me
and they're small because small donations are what I can afford. Maybe Obama's donors should contact the McCain campaign HQ directly and alleviate his "concerns"? :shrug:

20. Sounds good to me. I'd be willing to tell McC's campaign that I donated to O and just where
they can stick it! :evilgrin:

10. And what does he mean we don't know where the money came from? By the
way, I read last night that the average contribution was like $86 dollars, or something like that.

14. There are a ton of people who will believe he raised his money by
small donors, as they are one...know one...works with one.

He is so fake.

16. If they'd like to follow the money ...
I'll show them my emails for donating 3 times now to the Obama campaign. Each time after McCain or one of his surrogates said something assinine about Obama and/or his fund raising.

$60 in September and now $50 and an extra $15 so far in October. And I'll continue adding to it the more McCain and his campaign continue to slander American democracy and Obama with their bullshit and lies.

I urge everyone to pour more donations into Obama's coffers, especially since it is obvious McCain will not accept the election results when he loses. He and the rethugs are already claiming fraud while committing it in droves and it is likely they'll go to court to try another 2000 routine. If so Obama will need everything we can give to fight back.

Shameful that our politics has come to this.

Go to Hell McCain.

17. What's wrong with the media running stories like this?
McCain says pigs may fly!

Who the fuck cares what "may" happen - either provide some evidence or the media should ignore McCain.

It's like the media has turned into the all McCain all the time channel - only it's almost every channel, website, paper, etc.

Get over yourself, Yahoo!

18. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
“There’s $200 million of those campaign contributions — there’s no record. You can report online now. Two hundred million that we don’t know where it came from. Lot of strange things going on in this campaign. The American people should know where every penny came from,” McCain said. “They know where every penny of my campaign contributions came from.”


So every fucking donation McCain receives is $250 or more?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

That's a load of BULLSHIT!. For months my donations to Obama were not reported to the FEC. The moment I went over $250, BAM I am now easily found in the records.

What a fucking moron this idiot is. He doesn't even understand the campaign finance law that has his own fucking name on it!

19. I think he understands perfectly well what he's saying & is
doing so deliberately to mislead.

His only care isn't about America or even his integrity but about winning and if he can't win he'll try to take down or cripple his opponent if at all possible.
