This is more indication of democRATS doing underhanded and/or illegal stuff. People referred to President Reagan as the teflon president. This guy proves that there is something slicker than teflon!
THE FIX IS IN FOR OBAMA Written by Jack Kelly Thursday, 02 October 2008 Who is Will, Good? Mr. Good Will -- who lists his employer as "Loving" and his profession as "You" -- has contributed 1,000 times to the Obama campaign. All the contributions have been in amounts of $25 or less. But they add up to $17,375 -- far more than the legal limit of $4,600 ($2,300 each for the primary and general election campaigns). Kenneth Timmerman, a reporter for NewsMax, discovered Mr. Good Will when he reviewed 1.4 million individual contributions in the latest Federal Elections Commission master file for the Obama campaign. Mr. Good Will said he was from Austin, Texas. When I called Directory Assistance, they could find no listing for him. Who is Pro, Doodad? Mr. Doodad Pro made 786 contributions for a total of $19,500. Like Mr. Good Will, Mr. Pro lists his employer as "Loving" and his profession as "You." Mr. Pro said he is from Nando, New York. MapQuest could find no such town. Sen. Obama has raised a whopping $223 million in contributions of less than $200. Candidates are not required to disclose the names of those who contribute less than $200, and Sen. Obama has not. (Sen. McCain has made his complete donor database available online.) But the FEC does require campaigns to keep a running tally of contributions, and to disclose the identity of donors once their total contributions exceed $200. This is how Mr. Good Will and Mr. Doodad Pro came to light. If there are more suspicious donors to the Obama campaign, we won't know until long after the election, if their aggregate contributions are below the legal limit. Mr. Timmerman was particularly curious about 11,500 contributions from overseas totalling $33.8 million. Sen. McCain and Sen. Hillary Clinton required foreign donors to provide proof of citizenship. Until very recently, Mr. Timmerman said, the Obama campaign did not. "More than 1,400 of the overseas entries clearly were U.S. diplomats or military personnel, who gave an APO address," Mr. Timmerman wrote. But they accounted for only 12 percent of Sen. Obama's overseas donors, and the aggregate total of their contributions was just $201,680. "In July and August, the head of Nigeria's stock market held a series of pro-Obama fund-raisers in Lagos," Mr. Timmerman said. "At one event, a table for eight went for $16,800. Nigerian press reports claimed sponsors raked in an estimated $900,000." Making contributions on credit cards via the Internet -- as both Good Will and Doodad Pro did -- makes it easier for foreigners to contribute. Web logger Pamela Geller (Atlas Shrugs) reported three Palestinians living in a refugee camp in Gaza tried to donate $33,500 to the Obama campaign last year. They were caught only because the amount was far above the legal limits. If foreigners donate in amounts less than $200, their illegal involvement would be virtually undetectable. If Sen. Obama were a Republican, the news media would be demanding he disclose the names of all of his donors -- as, er, the Republican has done -- so we can see if there are among them other Good Wills and Doodad Pros. CNN recently sent a reporter to Little Diomede island, the westernmost part of Alaska (2.4 miles from Russia) to determine whether Sarah Palin had ever been there actually to see Russia with her own eyes. But CNN -- and the rest of the media -- have been incurious about the Obama campaign's fundraising. "Off the record, every suspicion you have about MSM being in the tank for O is true," said an email to Web logger Glenn Reynolds (Instapundit) from someone at a major news organization. "We have a team of four people going through dumpsters in Alaska and 4 in Arizona. Not a single one looking into ACORN, Ayers, or FreddieMae. Editor refuses to publish anything that jeopardizes the election for O, and betting dollars to donuts same is true at NYT, others...The fix is in, and it's working." So, what do you expect from a Chicago machine politician? Surely, you don't expect honesty and good ethics. Remember, this is Chicago, the land of the Daley Empire of the voting dead. |

As another poster asked earlier today, "How many cups of coffee have you had this morning?"

I don't drink coffee. Diet Coke, and beer only. Except for my two glasses of milk each morning. It's my protest for all the political mumbo-jumbo going on these days. Semper Fi John If you're gonna shoot, shoot! Don't Talk. |

Well, I hate all things related to sports so I have to Jones on politics until they are (thankfully) over for at least two years.
