So much for our federal deficit! Pffft!

We should look at this as a major Red Flag!

pffffft! You think this is something new? Please. They all do it, regardless of party and it'll continue in office, regardless of who wins. Only way to fix it is to get everyone out and start over with people who really CARE to do something about fixing things, regardless of whether it benefits themselves or not.

Nope! Nothing new....just pointing out the fact that Obama spent over $150 million in September alone.....twice the amount that George and Bill spent collectively in the 04 campaign.
With spending habits like that, I don't want him representing me.

If McCain had enough backing to raise that amount of money he would spend it to..So whats your point?

That's a fact most people ignore when it comes to DEMOCRATS. Just irrationally blame republicans for everything.... It's a joke!

Jealousy will get you no where..You and I know dam well McCain would spend as much as he could..Sorry he cant raise it I really am!!

What I think is a joke is that any conservative would dare run their ignorant mouth about "spending habits". Do you have any clue what our National Debt is right now!?

So here's an idea...how about every one pull their heads out of their asses and stop whining about campaign spending and pointlessly pointing fingers. Y'all sound like a bunch of petulant children. Dems AND Reps all had a hand in this tragedy of a government we have now.

Oh it's what I've been saying...funny thing is the lefties on these boards are too partisan to even entertain the wrongdoing in their own party.

Funny when is Looney left,Idiots, liars, stupid and calling people names bipartisan..People cant have dialoge with you because thats all that comes out of your mouth!!!

The blame game helps no one.

Here are the FACTS:

"Neither Barack Obama nor John McCain is talking about this problem. In fact what they're saying right now will make the problem worse. If you saw the first presidential debate, you saw Jim Lehrer try to pin these guys down on how the Wall Street bailout would affect their plans. You also saw them both duck the questions. The nonpartisan Tax Policy Center says McCain's plans would increase the national debt by $5 trillion over the next 10 years, while Obama's would increase the debt by $3.5 trillion. Right now one of the biggest unspoken campaign promises for both men is to offer you lots of tax cuts and/or new programs the country doesn't have the money for.

Like everyone else, we're praying that the U.S. bailout and the world's central banks can put out this financial fire, fast. Realistically, the country is going to be adding a lot to the national debt over the next few years. There's no way around it, and frankly balancing the budget during a recession is difficult and may not even be advisable. But once we've got the private sector's bad debts under control, we've got to get the federal government's debt under control, too. The long-term problem for the federal government is predictable, inevitable -- and completely solvable, if politicians show some leadership and the public starting demanding some real answers."

The whole article is actually pretty excellent no matter what side of the fence you're on. (and for the record I straddle it right down the middle all day.)
