Fiddling While Rome Burns
Yes, this is 'political', and I've already checked it out with Snopes (which LEANS to the left) and there is nothing about this there. It's certainly 'food for thought'........and we all need to explore all sides to see on which side is each of your convictions. This is 'my' side. Maggie

Fiddling While Rome Burns or Millions for TV Commercials Instead of Books
Meanwhile, John McCain, who first began working on campaign finance reform with Senator Russell Feingold, a democrat from Wisconsin,13 years ago, is limited to $84.1 million because he accepted taxpayer funds for the general election.
Once again, John McCain shows himself to be a man of his word.
Hmmm . . . How many mortgages might that pay? How many gas tanks might that fill? How many hungry bellies might that feed?

"In the latest round of economic obscenities from Barack Obama, his campaign is reported to be spending a record $230 million on television advertising, including Wednesday prime-time commercials on CBS, NBC and Fox.
The three 30-minute ads or infomercials will cost Obama nearly $1 million each. This is the first time mark the first time in 16 years that a White House contender has aired commercials of that length on broadcast networks. Billionaire Ross Perot paid for 11 half-hour ads during his 1992 bid as an independent.
According, to USA Today, Obama’s ad spending will easily surpass the record $188 million President Bush spent in 2004.
How is this possible? How does Obama have $230 million to spend on television advertising? The answer is that he accepted campaign financing and then rejected it when his campaign decided he was not just a cash cow, but the whole herd.

And Barack Obama?
$230 million for television advertising?
It takes my breath away.
And I’m wondering, how many school books that might buy. How many salaries for teachers? How many college educations?
Hmmm . . . How many mortgages might that pay? How many gas tanks might that fill? How many hungry bellies might that feed?
I guess Obama is for redistribution of wealth as long as it is not his wealth.
I am stunned at the utter lack of morality and ethics on display here.
For shame, Obama. For absolute shame.
Let’s not waste a moment letting the world know that the American public will not be bought. Let’s get ourselves to any field office or campaign office, especially if it is in a battleground or border state.
This is the real deal. So I say, 'Just Say No Deal'. Vote McCain/Palin and do the right thing."
