"That is a great deal of money. And, again, we need a level playing field and we need to go back to the realization that Teddy Roosevelt had: that we have to have a limit on the flow of money and that corporations are not people," McCain said in an interview with PBS' "NewsHour".

The idiot is a useless buffoon. If he wants something done, then get the ball rolling, you stupid moron. I'm hardly in a position to do anything about it, but YOU are. It's what you were elected for.

What a dumbazz.

i guess in the last election we never really did have a choice, did we?

When they announced Palin would be his VP, that put a fork in it.

You're all just jealous because Obama got that foreign money in 2008 but not now.
And he wouldn't release all the donor names either after multiple requests.

Totally agree. If it was ok in 2008 then it should be ok in 2012.
Just because the money is going "to the other guy" there is now outrage ?

You'd be way wrong about that.

Palin was the only reason most people bothered to vote for McCain. She made people feel like wasting the gas and time might be worth it.

I didn't then or don't now know a single person who can stomach McCain.

Hmmmmm. If the corporate fat cats and foreign wheeler-dealers are for Romney, why should the common man be?

The Associated Press: McCain: Foreign cash sneaking in via super PACs
Let me get this straight. Adelson is an American citizen, born in the United States. Although making his initial money in computer-related industry, Adelson is now CEO of the Las Vegas Sands Corporation which also bankrolled other casinos in the United States and abroad.

Adelson gives his money to Super PACs in the same manner George Soros gives to liberal PACs, and under present law both are legal. One has to find it hypocritical that McCain can find fault with Adelson giving money to Romney's Super PAC, but says nothing about George Soros, who is foreign born and makes most of his money in global markets.

Don't like the law that allows Soros and Adelson to give millions to PAC? Get it changed.

Less than 200 people provide 80% of all Super Pac money. If we don't see that as a problem, all but 200 of us are in serious trouble.
