Oh come on guys. Obama has raised the most money ever of any candidate.

I never said he didn't. I'm just making the point that when Pro-McCain folks single out Obama for all the money he's raised and spent, they are ignoring the historical fact that, up until now, Republicans have historically been ever more guilty of such "attrocities". All of a sudden, it's a problem? Give me a break.

Try quoting my whole comment next time. The problem isn't that he raised a ton of money. The problem is that he said was going to stick with public financing until it became apparent that he was going to get a shit ton of money from donations. If McCain had done this, people would be all over him for it. But when Obama did it, it's "change".

Obama is not a saviour.

The discussion was about campaign funds....so what's the point of this comment?

The point is that Obama is being treated like the second coming of Christ. "He's going to save us all" are some things I've read and heard. Quite frankly I find it disgusting. If you're depending on the government to save you that much then you have bigger problems. The government isn't going to save you anymore now than they ever have.

He says he's going to give you a tax cut, but have you every considered that if you don't have a job you won't even be getting paid.

Personally, I think it's better when companies get tax breaks. It makes it easier to get into those higher brackets. But if you raise taxes on high incomes, it just makes it more difficult to get into a higher income bracket.
