This week Barack Obama has opted out of matching federal campaign funds.  I happen to be opposed to the whole idea of matching funds.  It really means that we all contribute to the campaigns of candidates we wouldn't give cold water in the desert, much less money to.

So good for you, Barack.  You don't need my money, so you won't take it.

Not until you're elected, anyway, where you apparently plan to take all the money any of us will earn up through the year 3008.

Although I offer tepid support to McCain this year, if he should lose due to campaign finance laws, that would be an irony so beautiful I can't help wallowing in the thought.

It's not the laws themselves that prevent McCain from raising the dough; it's the fact that he wrote the laws, which constitute such an egregious assault on ALL OF OUR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS that have put McCain in this position.

It's darn near impossible for us conservatives to whip up much enthusiasm for a guy with so little regard for the Constitution.
