Hoist on his own petard

White Trash Republican sent a link to this story on Hot Air:

The nation’s top federal election official told Sen. John McCain yesterday that he cannot immediately withdraw from the presidential public financing system as he had requested, a decision that threatens to dramatically restrict his spending until the general election campaign begins in the fall.

The prospect of being financially hamstrung by the very fundraising system he helped create is the latest in a series of bitter challenges for the presumed GOP nominee, who still faces a fractured conservative coalition as he assumes the mantle of party leadership.


Normally I would have some sympathy for a candidate who was caught up in the Byzantine labyrinth of modern campaign finance reform, but since McCain is an architect of that labyrinth I have no pity on him.

Crazy John McCain look upon the monster you have helped to spawn. This like the New York Times hit piece is but the first gust of wind presaging the storm to come as you seek to fulfill your evil ambition to seize control of the USA and run it into the ground.

I hope it drives you even more insane than you are now.

See you on the freeway overpass with your assault rifle. I'll wave at you before the SWAT team takes you down.
