Are Barack Obama and John McCain hypocrites?

As underdogs, they embraced public financing. But now, as the likely nominees, they're looking longingly at millions in private contributions.

    McCain: Hero No More

    Obama is not changing the face of American Politics...The American People are, for in this great nation, it is the people who have the power...when they choose to use it.

    The American People want change, renewal and the restoration of our good name and our great promise which has been sullied by the current administration, virtually every Republican, and most Democrats in Washington...The American People are awakening...an unstoppable political revolution has been born by True Patriots who believe in protecting Our Constitution from the thieves of Liberty who enacted the "Patriot Act."

    John McCain...now supports torture...after being a war prisoner himself...he has sold his soul to blind self-serving ambition...he is a hero no more. His values, like advocating water boarding, are too vulgar to mention to children, and his sarcastic, snide, and false political comments about Democrats are un-Christian. Its sad to see what a monster Washington can make out of a once decent man...Americans, keep your children and our future away from his blood stained hands.

    Of all the political candidates,I have only heard Obama say, "I pray to Jesus Christ," and like Christ, he is attacked by the "Religious Right" for his Light. Shame and woe to McCain and his blasphemous followers.
