BB told us:

but high crimes when done by those that a person opposes.

Like buying an election by spending 6- 7 times as much as one's opponent- fine when Obama does it, and horrible when a Republican dares to have better funding.


Four years ago and eight years ago, when the Shrub had the supernal advantage in financing, I don't recall any objection here on that ground. Worried about it, yes. Complained on other grounds, assuredly, but not that one. If I'm wrong someone will point it out, I'm sure.

And in this case Obama has followed a legal course; he's not required by law to limit himself to public financing. McCain chose to, and that's fine, I suppose, but his surrogates should not then complain, BB.
