Tell me it ain't so, Sarge!

Why don’t we ask the Bush DOJ that very question since the FEC has asked the DOJ to look into these type contributions why the President didn’t ask for an investigation?
Why won’t Bush move on this or ACORN? Only reason it is a federal investigation on ACORN is because Fitzgerald refused to close out his ACORN investigation and since it is ongoing, he doesn’t have to get approval.
How about the website of the principal US affiliate of the Socialist International counting Obama as one of its active members?
From the mid 1996 to 2005, Barack Obama attended about half a dozen meetings of the Chicago Democratic Socialist of America [ http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=site%3Achicagodsa.org+obama+Town+Meeting&btnG=Search ], the largest socialist organization in the United States, and the principal U.S. affiliate of the Socialist International [ http://www.dsausa.org/about/index.html ], and draws upon Marxism, religious and ethical socialism to bring about fundamental restructuring of our socio-economic order [ http://www.chicagodsa.org/democraticsocialism.html ]. In the 1990’s, Barack Obama was a member of the Chicago New Party [ http://www.chicagodsa.org/ngarchive/ng42.html#anchor792932 ], another socialist party [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Party_(USA) ].
During meetings of the DSA, Barack Obama has promoted the Marxist concept of a social wage, income redistribution, and the allocation of wages and jobs using labor law reform, public works and contracts [ http://www.chicagodsa.org/ngarchive/ng45.html ].
Barack Obama was the chief sponsor [ http://www.chicagodsa.org/ngarchive/ng96.html#anchor495069 ] of an Illinois bill to set up state-wide universal healthcare [ http://www.chicagodsa.org/ngarchive/ng94.html#anchor349979 ].
In its latest newsletter, the DSA supported Obama’s candidacy, claiming that if Obama explained what his real plans are he would not be elected [ http://www.chicagodsa.org/ngarchive/ng120.html ].
No wonder why he didn’t want the public financing.
“The New York Times is actually reporting this ?”
I’m shocked I tell ya, shocked!
It appears that campaign finance records for Senator John McCain, the Republican nominee, contain far fewer obviously false names, although he has taken in about $200 million in contributions, less than half Mr. Obama’s total. Mr. McCain did collect about $173,000 from donors who appear in campaign finance records with only a name and have no other identifying information. Mr. Obama collected about $314,000 from such donors.
I couldn't BEGIN to tell you how much money the Obama campaign has taken that has a name only. Blanks in the other fields or information requested. PLEASE! There is no way it is only $314k.
I’m sure he has Al Qaeda donors as well as Hamas, Hezbollah, PLO, and Iran, Syria, Venezuela. Face it, we’re being destroyed by our enemies from within with the aid of the MSM.
The NYT is reporting it because they think Obama is going to win anyway. Then, if they are accused of being too pro Obama, they can point to this article to refute the charge. Unfortunately for them, Obama is NOT going to win. I can’t wait until Nov 5th. The media will implode worse than the Obamaniacs.
There is no evidence that questionable contributions amount to anything more than a small portion of Mr. Obama’s fund-raising haul.
Okay, how subjective, vague and in the tank can you be?
You could be right!
You know damn well these contributions were from the Daily Kos and DU crowd.
I guarantee you that if you search the contributions, somebody got cute and put McCain’s name down as a contributor to Obama.
These people are crooks and should be prosecuted.
hmmmm....
Ok, time out for you - to the corner, yes, put the hat on...
AND, McCain has a database on his website that has information on ALL of his contributions. Even the under $200 that is not required by the FEC to be reported. Obama won't do the same.
Ok..now to read the thread :-)
Twenty-five days. 25 very short days until election day. Will people wake up (or gain a large number of IQ points) in time?
It’s just outrageous that this guy has even gotten as far as the Senate and a presidential candidacy, let alone with a lead in the polls.
Narcissists and their enablers are in-your-face with stuff like this, knowing that no one is clever or brave enough to stand up to it.
BTW Michael Luo must be from Barak’s tribe in Kenya.
Ping!
Obama’s no doubt getting money from thousands of people in countries that are enemies of the U.S., such as Iran, North Korea, Venezuela, Syria, Russia, and Communist China. Plus, he is no doubt getting money from Saudi Arabia, and other nations.
This is not so hard really. Credit cards are tied to a name and billing address, and online software for taking credit cards can take this information and submit it to the cc company for verification.
That’s it. For the remainder of the campaign, johncocktoasten shall be known as “Derty West”
