That totally speaks for itself.
Someone with wingnut tendencies sent this to me with a big "HA! HA!" in the subject line. (Click to reach the larger original.)

I actually take a point from this for which I give Obama a demerit. He broke the public presidential campaign finance system. In fact the wealth of presidential campaigns should evenly be shared! Even expenditure was the case for eight campaigns until Obama ended it.
Beyond that, I have a big problem with the projection of deep ego attachment to wealth that McCain has peddled in his anti-share campaign. It's not in fact the American way of government.
There was a time in this country when everyone agreed that for the good of "country first" as McCain likes to say, everyone has SHARED responsibility, like financing campaigns, or seeing to it that old people are taken care of (thanks to the sharing spirit of this country, my own mother was able to make up the nearly $100,000 she was short for her final illness out of her originally quite substantially-sized pocket), or that babies get nutrition, or that or that we have National Wildlife Refuges, or bomber pilots, or walled-in places we call prisons where those of us who are socially dangerously out-of-sync may be kept.
Therefore, the basis of the Republican campaign is in large part bullshit. McCain/Palin does not even resemble what McCain used to be. The Republican's are just egging on an emotional reaction, with no reference to real American values.
