Yet another law-breaking president?
McCain seems cast in the mold of George W. Bush: if the law seems restrictive, ignore the law. I just got this email:
John McCain is breaking the law.
When McCain’s presidential campaign was in trouble, he opted-in to public financing through the primary, limiting him to a $54 million spending cap.
But laws aren’t for “mavericks”…
McCain’s latest spending report, filed by his own campaign, shows he has spent in excess of $58 million so far — a public admission by his own hand that he has broken the law.
We filed a formal complaint to Federal Election Commission yesterday, and we want you to sign-on for a second delivery of signatures later this week.
Please read and co-sign the letter to the FEC right now.

Ain’t it funny how repubs don’t have to follow laws that the rest of us do? And that the rest of us get charged with felonies while others get off scot-free? (David Vitter, Scooter, etc.) Now FoxNews told the FCC to fuck off yesterday when fined, refusing to pay it.
Again, my biggest fear is that the toothless Dem. Congress will regain their teeth next January and finally start enforcing the laws they write… against the next (Dem.) president! Can’t we get an 8-year free ride, just once a century?
