Show me the money

Media Add comments

Money came up twice during the debate tonight. One question aimed at me and the other at Hillary. Both of us dodged a bullet tonight. We’ll live to fight another day.

The silver bullet with my name on it is public financing of presidential campaigns. Back when I wasn’t raising money, I was all for public financing and said so. That was probably a mistake. Now that I have as much money as God, public financing of my presidential campaign seems a little looney.

It’s no wonder John McCain is all over my butt about campaign financing. He can’t raise any private money because Republicans are spooked, so to speak, and figure the 2008 election is a lost cause, so why should they bother with donations? John needs public financing. I don’t.

Hillary’s bullet had to do with her taxes, why she hasn’t disclosed her income tax return, and where she came up with $5-million to donate to her campaign. I don’t know where she got the money and I only care so that once I retire from being President I can get my share. It’s only fair.

When I say, “Hillary, show me the money,” it has an entirely different meaning than when it comes from Tim Russert.
