McCain Calling Obama A Socialist? Who Accepted $84 Million In Taxpayer Money For Their Campaign?

The ironic thing about McCain's campaign is that he is accusing Obama of being socialistic, yet McCain is the one who is accepting $84 million in political welfare to run his campaign. Obama, on the other hand, has relied on over 3 million donors who contributed about $86 dollars each to conduct his campaign.

McCain finance officials and other campaign-finance experts had anticipated that the R.N.C.’s stockpile of cash and strong fund-raising, along with the $84 million Mr. McCain received in public financing, would be enough to at least stay within range of the Obama fund-raising juggernaut. The R.N.C. finished August with $76 million in the bank, along with another $18 million transferred to it by the McCain campaign. But the Obama campaign has been outspending the McCain campaign by 4 to 1 on television, according to Campaign Media Analysis Group, which analyzes ad spending. The R.N.C. is limited to spending about $19 million in coordination with the McCain campaign but can spend unlimited amounts independently. Even with the R.N.C.’s independent expenditures factored in, the Obama campaign is still outspending Mr. McCain by 3 ½ to 1, according to CMAG.

Typical hypocrite RepubliCON.

I would poison that well by calling it voluntary socialism, since he isn't using only his own money to pay for the campaign but the money of others.
