This is irritating to say the least. I mean I can understand the rest in the list that are accepting matching funds, but McCain???

It's not against Paul's views to take matching funds. People voluntarily give money to the gov to help the underdogs a little.

wrong, it is taken from your national debt and makes more debt!

"The Presidential public funding program is financed through the $3 check-off that appears on individual income tax returns. The program has three elements: grants to parties to help fund their nominating conventions, grants available to nominees to pay for the general election campaign, and matching payments to participating candidates during the primary campaign."

Regardless, I think its lame you cant raise your own money? I mean come on people... :(

RP taking the matching funds is the same as when he does earmarks. It's all withen the law.
