John McCain has staked his maverick image in part on his alleged support for campaign finance reform. But when it comes to his own campaign, he has repeatedly tried to buck campaign finance laws for his own political gain. In fact, McCain has violated campaign finance laws on multiple occasions during his presidential run. First, he took out a private loan to fund his failing campaign using the promise of public matching funds as collateral for the loan. Then, he unilaterally tried to withdraw from the public funding system, a move the chair of the FEC told McCain was against the rules. After all this, the candidate decided to ignore spending limits in the primary and by continuing to spend millions of dollars in contributions from donors, lobbyists, and the special interests, he may be breaking the law on a daily basis.
