McCain spending more than he's raising

Faced with a spending cap for his fall campaign, Republican presidential candidate John McCain is aggressively spending more money than he is raising during summer months and methodically reducing his cash reserves.

Sounds like Bush to me... racking up a debt without the means to pay for it.

Good comment, Dajokeramn! The people who know McCain best absolutely hate him:
Arizona Donors Give McCain Cold Shoulder
Many Big Time Bundlers in Likely GOP Nominee's Home State Haven't Taken Up Their Senator's Cause

PHOENIX--Sen. John McCain's Arizona campaign chairman, fellow Republican Sen. Jon Kyl, is missing from McCain's list of 26 Arizona bundlers who have raised $50,000 or more in contributions for his presidential campaign.

Kyl, the Senate minority whip, bundled more than $100,000 of campaign contributions for President George W. Bush in 2004. Kyl frequently appears at campaign events as a McCain stand-in and the two are close friends. Kyl, a hard-line conservative, supported the presumed Republican presidential candidate on comprehensive immigration reform, but splits with McCain on some major issues -- including energy policy, campaign-finance reform and climate change.

Kyl is one of a group of leading Arizona Republican fund-raisers more active in raising money for Bush than they have, to date, for McCain.... Leading GOP state elected officials and some key state party activists are giving far less financial support to the party's national candidate this election cycle than in 2000 and 2004 -- though their favorite son is the likely nominee. Bush was considered more acceptable on issues the conservative GOP base cares about, with his anti-tax, pro-business agenda and his willingness to move religion into the center of the political mix

.Bush only had six bundlers in Arizona for his 2000 and 2004 campaign, but they raised more than $3 million in his reelection bid. One of those bundlers is Joyce Haver, a prominent Phoenix business leader, who raised more than $100,000 for Bush in 2000 and 2004.

Haver has not geared up her fund-raising operation for McCain...P. Robert Fannin, a well-known Phoenix attorney and civic leader, raised more than $200,000 for Bush in 2004, but is not included in McCain's list of major bundlers with more than $50,000....another notable figure missing from McCain’s list is the Arizona state Republican Party Chairman Randy Pullen....
the better part of the state's GOP political leadership is not listed as McCain bundlers for any amount, including former Arizona Gov. Jane Dee Hull, who bore the brunt of McCain's infamous temper on several occasions, and Reps. Trent Franks, John Shadegg and Jeff Flake. One elected official, Rep. Rick Renzi, had been McCain’s Arizona co-campaign chairman, but resigned after he was indicted earlier this year on corruption charges....

Maybe they're all afraid of scrutiny. Anyway, bottom line is that the GOP party organizations are getting some corporate PAC money, but McCain brought in $22Million in donations last month, compared to Obama's $55Million. Obama's average donation last month was $68. Since Obama became the nominee, the DNC no longer accepts PAC or lobyist donations. The GOP scarfs them up.

Stop with the threats of physical violence and the abusive language. You may get away with this with your wife, but you will not with me.

Osama for Obama I love your screen name..WOW your stupidity is announced upfront and there is no need to read any of your posts. Psst guess what Obama is a muslim who wants to destroy America!! Michelle Obama wants to enslave whites!! OMG past it along to your hicks oops I mean friends and family.

[Glasnos]

It's not going to be the McCain camp who wins the presidential election anyway ... It will be the republican PACS who will portray the truth about Obama. The ads leading up to November will be devastating. With all of Obama's "present" votes, his pack of friends and associates ... and his gaffs. McCain has no worries. The democrats blow another one.

Name calling never a good substitute for a solid accounting program. Looks like McCain needs one too.

Who is that writing from Florida? Your hick daughter who is married to a black? No wonder you have such a fondness for Obama. You're raising a litter of Obama's in your own home.

Once again outing yourself as a racist.
Funny how you call others liars while you pretend to be a Hillary supporter. No real Hillary supporter would ever act like you do and say so many ugly and mean-spirited things.
Your hate and vitriol expose what you really are:
An "Operation Chaos" Rush Limbaugh fanatical hatemonger.

FWIW,'jujubee editor' is a confused racist Hillary supporter, the male Harriet "I hate black men" Hillary-Dog bigot who is left without a candidate - scrapping for a bone and hoping for an Obama meltdown so that Hil-dog can lap his blood from the floor.

Is it supposed to be impressive that Bigoted white Liberals would take such a "Cavalier" position on the issue of "MONEY" considering , African-Americans are--the ones disproportionately being targeted ("Black Infanticide") like cattle by white Liberal Institutions such as KLAN PARENT HOOD for $$$ MONEY $$$ Profit and More...
Black women constitute only about 13% of the female population (age 15-44) in the United States, but they underwent approximately 36% of the abortions.
According to the Alan Guttmacher Institute, black women are more than 3 times as likely as white women to have an abortion
On average, 1,452 black babies are aborted every day in the United States.
This incidence of abortion has resulted in a tremendous loss of life. It has been estimated that since 1973 Black women have had about 10 million abortions.
Michael Novak had calculated "Since the number of current living Blacks (in the U.S.) is 31 million, the missing 10 million represents an enormous loss, for without abortion, America's Black community would now number 41 million persons.
It would be 35 percent larger than it is today. Abortion has swept through the Black community like a scythe, cutting down every fourth member."
Abortion is Liberalism racism in its ugliest form.
Change even Jesse CAN'T believe in!
The "Poison of Liberalism"

Now, how did this topic become about black people? Oh yeah...they let Conservatives on this site. Buddy, you're the bigot. This was about McCains bumbling spending policies.

Here we go again....

ANOTHER one running for office that wants to straighten out the country's economy WHEN THEY CAN'T HANDLE THIER CAMPAIGN'S FINANCES.

Silly Hippy who cares about accounting...it never garnered Obama any more votes. You can't buy the presidency. Didn't you learn that as a child? Or are you still attempting to buy happiness?
Who are you attempting to reach with that tact? More Wall Street or Corporate Bundlers? Does this mean that we have to watch more black commercials on tv until he has broken his piggy bank? Hmmm...I think we should send in a mole to embezzle some of those funds...cuz we are sick of seeing blacks eating, driving, and viagraing as though they were actually part of the main stream. They are not. Why don't you make reality commercials of them in prison milking our correctional systems dry?

Silly Buzzy,
I'm an Indie...that means I can vote either Repub or Dem or whomever.
Right now I am happy with the prospect of keeping Obama from the presidency. I am amazed such an unqualified candidate has made it this far...but I have trust in the american electorate to keep such a poor choice from rising beyond the Senate.
Silly Buzzy...do you think I just woke up one morning and said...I think I will hate Obama today and anyone that resembles him....LOL
Naaah...that would mean that my education was baseless. Not a bigot or a racist, god knows the truth and so do I....just a political scientist who can objectively analyze candidates.
Obama is a poor candidate...and it has nothing to do with his race....zippo...nada...it has to do with his character...he is devoid of a sense of character.
NOW CALL ME A RACIST.
<quoted text>

My only question, as you call Obama "unqualified," is if you think President Bust has been better. How did his "qualifications" help him during his presidency. His may go down in history as the WORST presidency ever.

As an intelligent American, I realize that it's not about the candidate. It's about the qualifications of the people around the President. Sure the buck stops with the President. But compared to the guy that's in office now, who doesn't listen to the staff around him, I have more confidence that Obama will staff himself with a better team than McCain.

McCain has already staffed himself with people like Gramm who doesn't care a flip about the people. Plus, he has vowed to continue the policies and practices of Bust. I may not have experience, but I'm smart enough to know that he's not proposing policies that are going to help us.
