The lamestream media told you:
Sen. John McCain, once considered the Republican frontrunner for the presidential nomination, has “stumbled,” collecting only $12 million in the first quarter, an amount termed “anemic” when compared to his competitors. Mitt Romney raised $23 million in the same time period to take the Republican lead.
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
Influence peddlers, power brokers and rank and file have paid John McCain $12 million in just three months, in their bid to seek access, privileges and other benefits from the man who championed campaign finance reform to stop the corrupting influence of money. His bill, when read, actually prevents the public from mentioning a candidate’s name in promotions within 60 days of a national election.
The mind-boggling amounts of money candidates are taking hand over fist from everyone in sight are listed in the daily papers like sport scores:
“By not immediately releasing his first quarter totals, Obama is building suspense about a possible big splash.” “The New Mexico governor, not generally viewed as a major candidate, raised a respectable $6 million, and in doing so, increased his national media profile.” I am not making this up.
No mention of the corrupting influence of money, or the gutless reform act newspapers used to champion, can be found.
If $12 million dollars is stumbling, may you all fall flat on your kisser.
