Our hero, McCain, is really having a hard time with this down economy thing. Not our economy, but his campaign economy. The M has raised much less campaign money than The O, and has taken our tax dollars to help him out, which means his campaign spending is under stronger regulations than The O's. The Repubs may do well as the underdogs, but they just do not understand how to operate with less money.
The M's campaign has been posting videos on YouTube. You know, where all the teeny boppers hang out and post dead pig videos, kill the cat video's, and hang the baby out the window videos. I guess they thought it would be free publicity. Now they are going to get free publicity. Because YouTube has been taking down the big M's videos because they contain news footage that is under copyright and not permitted on their site. Why is YouTube doing this. Because the Repubs passed a couple of copyright laws in during their reign, one just in the last month, aimed at protecting the big music and movie companies. Now, YouTube is involved in a huge lawsuit that they are likely to loose because of these new regs. So, they have a computer program that prowls the postings on their site and automatically removes any using published material from movies or TV. Seems all of the M's videos fall into this group and have been taken down within hours of being posted. So much for free airtime.
Well, the M is a hero and is not going to go quietly. NO! his campaign has sent YouTube a letter asking for special rules for campaign videos to let his videos stay while YouTube hires staff to investigate and see if the videos fall under fair use. Oh, and by the by, don't worry about investigating all the Joe Six packs videos, Just take them down.

where it says the big M voted for the regs he is trying to circumvent.
For now, this is just going around in the online community, but I think it will hit the mainstream. See, they did not just write YouTube, they copied the big O.
Do you think the hero understands the common man's perspective in anything. There is nothing more common man than YouTube. Where anyone can post their news. But the M is not common, he is a hero and should have hero rules.
I predict that the big M will step in it tonight. He is not doing too well under pressure and the pressure is really on tonight.

Oh, goody, goody, Patsy is wrong. The M took federal money, the O did not. Patsy is wrong, Patsy is wrong....
the sky is falling....the sky is falling....
found this on McCain/palin web site....
Because the McCain-Palin Campaign is participating in the presidential public funding system, it will not raise private campaign contributions after August 31, 2008. However, federal law allows the Campaign to establish the Compliance Fund to defray legal and accounting compliance costs and preserve the Campaign's public grant for media, mail, phones, and get-out-the-vote programs.
so that is why McCain is short of money. he couldn't take donates after August 31 but Obama didn't obt for the goverment funds so he could take donations right up to the day of the election.
so i was wrong but I knew McCain was up set because Obama didn't take the goverment fund and now I found why he was up set about Obama not taking goverment money.
you sister should be ashamed for laughing at your old sister. esp. thoes who want eggs tomorrow.
you are tooooo late fleta I have already read your comment.
