Democratic National Committee files lawsuit on John McCain

 

In First Day of good news we have a story that is good news for the Ron Paul campaign, the Democratic Party, and those who are interested in lawful living. It appears that the McCain for President Camaign is breaking a campaign finance law. It is the law that states that you cannot spend more than $54 million for a Presidential race on the campaign. He as of this date spent $57 million.Additionally he has used his receiving of matching Presidential donations to obtain a $4 million personal loan to continue his then failing campaign. One of the requirements of receiving matching donations is that you do not use the income as a requirement for obtaining loans or funds. Sort of a Catch 22 of sorts. Now he is trying to back out of receving matching donations so that he is not restricted by the above $54 million above. The Federal Elections Committee has asked John McCain to clarify his filings. This is lawyer speak for asking “Are you Lying?” or “Would you like some more rope to hang yourself?” If this is as clear as mud please see the above links.

The strange irony of all of this is that most of these campaign finace restrictions are caused by the McCain Feingold laws, that John McCain himself co-authored and sponsored. It will be difficult for him to deny that he knew about or understood the laws.
