“Obama’s fundraising success could well mean the death of public financing”

So argues the LATimes blog.

Personally, I’m not bothered by that death. But what I’d like to see is a clear set of rules and those rules adhered to. I suspect that, forced to compete, the GOP — or perhaps even a fledgling new party — will find a way.

And the market will once again show its wisdom.

    What wisdom has the real estate market been showing? Oil markets?

    As opposed to the wisdom of our betters, such as Franklin Raines?

    Stupid interference in the real estate market never happened, did it, Thor.

    Price-Bubbles correct. As we have daily proof.

    What’s interesting is how much of the presumptive President Jesus’ contributions have been converted into U.S. dollars from foreign currency. I guess the world really does have a say as to who should be elected POTUS.

    Good. Why should these candidates buy ads with taxpayer money?

    Regardless of who brought us this moment in history, I’d just like to know if we will be able to make fun of Prezmodent Obama.

    Why are you swatting at a mayfly? They have no bite.

    You can be assured that public financing is dead…

    Until the next election where the left is beat in the money grubbing race…

    Then, it will once again become the eeeeeevil, corrupting influence that we were led to believe that it was; that is, before O! opted out of the public system he pledged to adhere to….

    I can’t help it.

    Swatting at fucktards is like an instinct with me.

    - Interesting how quickly every single Lefturd “Socialist” instantly becoame wildly exuberant “free market” capitalists, the minute its their bread thats in the oven.

    - Personally I don’t think any of them haveconvictions of any sort. I think they’re just a gaggle of left-over hippies, amd their aspiring counter=culturalists that know stability is the kiss of death for them, and are out to fuck up as many aspects of American life as they can, hoping in the ensuing chaos they can individually somehow score higher on the wealth-o-meter.

    - Many of them are not so much ideologs as punk opportunists. “Watch, we’re going to have an international crisus, a contrived crisus, to test the nettle of this guy.” – Joe Biden

    - If I had to give this group a name. I’d call them “the new cynicals”.

    - Which of course could be shortened to “NeoCyns”.

    - Well Billy Jeff did it again today. On the campaign trail he said: “Me and Hillery know what should happen in this election”.

    NeoCyns. Hmmmm. Yes, I think that will work.
