John McCain, Senate floor, May 25, 1993 :
Quote:
Mr. McCAIN. Madam President, the amendment before the Senate is a very simple one. It restricts the use of campaign funds for inherently personal purposes. The amendment would restrict individuals from using campaign funds for such things as home mortgage payments, clothing purchases, noncampaign automobile expenses, country club memberships, and vacations or other trips that are noncampaign in nature.
Madam President, I want to emphasize I will be citing some examples of how campaign funds have been used which are extremely egregious, but I want to point out they are not illegal, and the purpose of this amendment is to restrict the use of those campaign funds because, if we are truly going to have campaign finance reform, I do not believe that campaign funds should be used for such things as country club dues, tuxedos, vacations, and other purposes for which they are now almost routinely used by certain Members of both bodies.

Wow.
Nice find! 
There are rumblings that McCain and Palin are having issues working together.
McCain was a FOOL to put the bimbo on the ticket.

Exactly. Edwards was ridiculed relentlessly for weeks by the right for a $400 haircut and the RNC spends $150,000!!!! on clothes?
People get entire new wardrobes from the show "What not to wear" for $5,000. Do you think Palin might have scrimped by in a down-home fashion by keeping some of her nicest stuff and getting some new things for say... 10 times that?
Nope. 30 times that was needed.
She shore is a ordunary soccer-mom--you BETCHA!

Yes he was.
I still like McCain. I don't blame him for being pissed about this. Jon Stewart's Frankenstein analogy works for both impressionable voters and Palin herself.

But according to Laura Ingraham, if she hadn't spent that much, she'd get reamed for looking like "white trash" (her words).

I say a hypocrite is one who is happy when an abortion doctor is gunned down in church because you want to save lives by ending abortion.
Gunson, you are a walking talking Poster Child for hypocrisy

Yeah, because I said I was happy. I just said I wasn't shedding a tear like you and your pro abortion people are. Oh sooooooo sad, a man who kills children is murdered. Boo freakin' hoooo. I am not sad when a POS is murdered, regardless if you think he isn't a murderer himself.
Not ONCE did I say I was "happy" Get your facts straight.

And what is wrong with taking out a KNOWN EVIL as opposed to an innocent child?
I'm more pro-innocence, not pro-life. There are plenty of POS on this Earth that need to be locked up for their WHOLE life or sent to Old Sparky.
