WOW, just WOW. I've posted about this issue several times since Obambi began announcing huge "Internet" based fundraising but I have not seen any definite info on it. It is absolutely insane that there are so few controls on how foreign-based money can now flood into our political system, especially if it comes from psychotic totalitarian regimes that mean us ill. Communist China, Iran, Saudi Arabia..... our political system is being bought by these scumbags but the libs and RINOs are worried about eviiiilll US corporations. OF COURSE those govts love Obambi, he is a squishy little leftist weasel and they know they can walk all over him; or worse.

So while the idiotic, anti-Constitutional "McCain-Feingold" legislation was passed and signed into law the doors were wide open to unlimited foreign financial manipulations of our electoral system. Just let the PRC or Iran et al program enough "small contributions" and they can flood the coffers of any anti-American candidate like Obambi. What can be done about this nightmare?

================================================

"While the security people were not able to track most of the sources due to firewalls and other blocking devices put on these contributions they were able to collate the number of contributions that were coming in seemingly from individuals but the funds were from only a few credit card accounts and bank electronic funds transfers. The internet service providers (ISP) they were able to trace were from Saudi Arabia, Iran, and other Middle Eastern countries. One of the banks used for fund transfers was also located in Saudi Arabia."

"Another concentrated group of donations was traced to a Chinese ISP with a similar pattern of limited credit card charges."

There is, as yet, no verifiable copy of it online with the other Dowd columns.

No idea what the game was here.
