How McCain Is Skirting His Own Spending Caps

Politics – Even though McCain has agreed to an $84.1 million spending cap by accepting public funds--a decision he likes to portray as a principled stand against the corrupting influence of money on politics--at least double that sum will be spent on his behalf thanks to loopholes in the law that allow largely unregulated "soft money" contributions.

I am relatively sanguine when it comes to scientists who believe in God, as opposed to the much greater alarm I exhibit toward scientists who espouse Creationism.
