All I can do is shake my head in bemusement. It is obvious that the rule of law is pretty much dead. The application of law is fast becoming a thing of caprice, expediency and oppression. This all depends on just who is the potential target of course. And this is only the beginning. Just wait until Hussein and the rats in congress get the judges they want on to the bench. And don’t count on a filibuster to do anything. I doubt there will be 41 votes and even if there are I doubt that the rats will balk at retooling the senate the rules to make the filibuster impotent.
Just another example of McCain’s idiocy for accepting public financing.
After all, look at how much time, effort and public discussion has already been spent on Sarah Palin’s clothes?? Campaign auditing and campaign transparency was finished with the investigation into that outrageous campaign spending and incredibly important issue. /s
In other words, you can break as many campaign finance laws as you want as long as you don’t take any taxpayer money??? That’s outrageous. That means that foreign people and foreign governments can finance the people of their choice with no ramifications.
I deal with SOX (Sarbanes-Oxley) controls daily (is 80-85% of my life) in the business world... I/we have to follow the law... the “Chosen One’s” campaign should do same in political world.
Makes sense. Having the taxpayer pay for campaigns is stupid. Obama just did what McCain should have done...raise as much cash as possible. The problem with Obama is he hides the sources.
The only campaign finance rule needs to be all cash needs to be tracked back to a source and published online within 24 hours. Any violation of this rule means you give that donation time 10 to the federal government to help pay back the social security system. And anyone that reports a violation that is proven gets to take 10% of the amount of money misreported.
Didn't stop the FEC from auditing Bush/Cheney in 2004 as a sitting President!!!
Somebody come up with a pithy bumper sticker for this one. Let’s make it equally embarassing for him to not be audited.
Not a surprise. Harry Reid has refused to bring up Bush’s nominees for the FEC for the past year. The FEC currently lacks a quorum.
As soon as Obama is enthroned, the Senate will doubtless appoint three or four left wing tools to the vacant positions, and the FEC will be his loyal servant.
Customarily, there are slots for both parties on the board of the FEC, but I’m sure Obama will throw that custom out, and I doubt whether the Republicans will have the guts to block it—assuming that by that time they haven’t stolen enough of the remaining senatorial elections to have a filibuster proof majority.
LOL! “My friends...have I told you about McCain/Feingold and CFR? No? Well let’s have a discussion...or 10 townhall meetings...”
Idiot.
Don’t forget - the Russian mafia hacked Obama’s web site. They’ve got the data on all the doners. Like I said before - he’s in for a long string of blackmail efforts - most likely compromising national security to ward off impeachment.
So its true the WORLD can BUY the White House....
No investigation. The fear of the communists elect will trump any effort. America is in real trouble thanks to the brain dead nitwits that voted this insane ruler in.
The FEC is useless!
“The FEC is obligated to complete a rigorous audit of McCain’s campaign coffers....”
Good, I want to know where that last minute-last week-last two weeks-last month expenditure of -fill in the rumored amount- went.
OUTRAGEOUS! STUPID!
one more pathetic incident.
As another article suggested:
- Bush needs to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the campaign donation irregularities by Obama.
- And another to investigate voter registration fraud - specifically Acorn.
And a third one would protect us all from Obama protecting his friends in Illinois - giving Fitzgerald a job as a special prosecutor into Illinois corruption.
we have better learn how to play hardball or we will keep losing.
This just disgusted me beyond words. I give up.
so what they are saying is that obama can do all of this again in 4 years and the republicans cannot do anything about it and will lose another election based on voter fraud, illegal money and the media swooning over obama
obama is laughing at these idiots and those who voted for him, Michelle obama is now proud of half of her country.
when on earth are the GOP going to get some balls and do something to stop all of this, are they stupid ,?Do they not realise this will happen in 4 years again and some of them will be out of a job.
Of course it won’t be audited. Nothing will be audited. America ends on Jan. 20, 2009. 233 year run. Not bad Mr. Franklin, Washington, Jefferson, etc.
