McCain breaks his own law

And the AP tries to say it isn't so because he didn't accept the money. Sadly, the AP overlooks the fact that he was automatically granted places on the ballots of a number of states he could not otherwise afford to achieve.
McCain has now spent $58.4 million in his primary bid, surpassing the $50 million limit he would have faced if he participated in the public financing system he had been certified to join. McCain has decided not to accept the public matching funds, but the FEC wants him to assure regulators that he did not use the promise of public money as collateral for a $4 million loan.
We won't mention the use of funds not taken pledged as collateral for a loan. Really, who in their right mind would ever believe a Republican. But even if he derived no materiel gain from the public funding, he did opt in and he was told, very publicly that it was up to the FEC to release him from its restrictions. All of which goes to show that Old Johnny Two-Face was totally in character as a member of the Keating 5 and hasn't changed a spot since.
