Okay Nader, understand this my man. Taking the option to not accept campaign money from the government is not a policy. It's an option. Secondly, what is your primary stance as an independent? You ask for politicans to not accept money from PAC, Lobbyist, or the government but you slam Obama ??? You can't have it both ways pal. This guy needs a hobby. Okay Nader, understand this my man.

As long as he's following the rules, why is it the business of his opponents? I have the think this is an issue because he is able to raise funds in this way like no other politician has ever done and it's scaring the other politicians. He doesn't owe it to the opponents to fall in line to receive campaign money in the same way they do. Get used to it - Obama is the politician of the future!

Obama changed his position and rightly so. The Republicans have a boatload of money and have no compunctions about using the dirty politics of the fringe groups (like those who were responsible for the swift boat ads in '04). He is quite correct - the public campaign finance system is BROKEN, BROKEN, BROKEN! There is too much at stake this election to allow money to be a deciding factor and it surely will be if the Dems rely on public financing regimens. Here's the deal, people - it ain't brain surgery.

I don't consider it a flip-flop to change ones position when new information comes to light that provides a better choice. I voted for Nader when he was a Green Party candidate but I think for this election I'm voting for Obama. The first candidate I've ever voted FOR and not the lesser of 2 evils.
