I find it odd that we sent money to Abbas and they use it to fund Obama's campaign. A little transparency in their online operation might make people feel a little better about him. thanx, bill if lemmy and god had a wrestling match who would win?

All of the candidates donations are reported to the FEC (and they can't accept donations > $200 unless they know the name, occupation, and employer). http://www.fec.gov/DisclosureSearch/MapAppRefreshTran.do?tranComeFrom=mapApp&cand_id=P80003338&cand_nm_title=Obama,%20Barack&tranType=INDIVIDUAL Knock yourself out. :-) Cheers, Scott.
Post #298,133 by boxley 10/19/08 2:13:25 PM Reply	yeah right, there is no gambling in casablanca either http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2008/07/obama-who-is-je.html Other overseas contributors are making multiple small donations ostensibly in their own names over a period of a few days, some under maximum donation allowances, but others aggregating in excess of the maximums when all added up. So while some of the contributions appear legal, others appear clearly over the maximums allowed without greater reporting requirement. Some of the contributions may bel egal as reported, but "fishy" can only describe the Obama campaign reporting with regard to aggregate contributions. The countries and major cities from which contributions have been received France, Virgin Islands, Planegg, Vienna, Hague, Madrid, London, AE, IR, Geneva,Tokyo, Bangkok, Turin, Paris, Munich, Madrid, Roma, Zurich, Netherlands, Moscow, Ireland, Milan, Singapore, Bejing, Switzerland, Toronto, Vancouver, La Creche, Pak Chong, Dublin, Panama, Krabi, Berlin, Geneva, Buenos Aires, Prague, Nagoya, Budapest, Barcelona, Sweden, Taipei, Hong Kong, Rio de Janeiro, Sydney, Zurich, Ragusa, Amsterdam, Hamburg, Uganda, Mumbia, Nagoya, Tunis, Zacatecas, St, Croix, Mississiauga, Laval, Nadi, Behchoko, Ragusa, DUBIA, Lima, Copenhagen, Quaama, Jeddah, Kabul, Cairo, Nassau(not the county on Long Island,lol), Luxembourg (Auchi's stomping grounds), etc,etc,etc, but nare ot limited to these countries, as we've have just begun to read through almost 500 pages. There are way too many overseas contributions and I find it hard to believe they are all American citizens. How does the FEC monitor that? Some of contributions appear to be "bundled" from one person as source to hide the contributions of many, and an example of one among many such "incidents" will clearly show why I arrive at such a conclusion.. A red flag is a donor like Jeanne McCurdy. Look at the contribution excerpt below. It's a compilation of a mere four pages of listings, pages 40-44, approximately 9% of the pages of the total document I received, and it lists contributions made by a Jeanne McCurdy, who is always listed as unemployed, and who does not have an address at least as can be found in the files provided (and, as you might well expect, no phone number or email address either). John did a computation of her contributions from roughly Aug. 07 through Feb/Mar of 08, and it is over $1200. She ranges from a $15 to a $400 contribution, most running $25/35 to $50. Several of her separate contributions are listed on the same day, a very curious way to make campaign contributions, which are usually in response to mailed solicitations. (She should accumulate them, save on postage.) This is a scam. It appears to us he is fronting the contributions to hide the contributors. Now, why in the hell would he do that? He doesn't want people to know who his contributors are? What an odd approach for a politician. Now, this woman, Jeanne Mccurdy (is she is a woman, a real or ficticious person?) appears to be mining a population of people who do not wish their identities known..... if lemmy and god had a wrestling match who would win?
Post #298,138 by Another Scott 10/19/08 5:27:07 PM Reply	Um, where did AtlasShrugged2000 get their data? They got it from the FEC which got it from Obama's filings. What evidence do they have that "There are way too many overseas contributions"? As of the end of September, Obama had 1,430,415 donations reported. http://www.stripes.com/article.asp?section=104&article=64148&archive=true === begin cut === There are an estimated 6.5 million Americans abroad, and about 990,000 of them requested ballots for the 2006 election, according to the U.S. Election Assistance Commission. Of that 990,000, 119,000 were military voters. ThatÂs about 10 percent of the total overseas military population. Out of the 119,000 ballots that troops requested, fewer than half Â about 57,000 Â were counted. That leaves about 62,000 ballots unaccounted for, equivalent to ballots going missing for everyone in Flagstaff, Ariz. === end cut === Jeanne McCurdy seems to be a legit donor: http://fundrace.huffingtonpost.com/neighbors.php?type=name&lname=Mccurdy&fname=Jeanne $4620 in the cycle. $4600 is the legal limit ($2300 in primary, $2300 in the general), and it's certainly possible that there are two people with the same name. IOW, there's no "there" there, IMO. It's all innuendo. If they want to get upset, they should sort the list by Amount: http://www.fec.gov/DisclosureSearch/MapAppRefreshTran.do?cand_nm_title=Obama%2C+Barack&tranType=INDIVIDUAL&tranComeFrom=mapApp&d-16544-p=1&d-16544-n=1&d-16544-s=CONTB_RECEIPT_AMT&cand_id=P80003338&d-16544-o=2 Whoops. "Mr. Chris Rock" gave Obama $9200 before "REATTRIBUTION/REDESIGNATION REQUESTED". If anyone can find someone who has given more than $4600 who doesn't have a notation, then they can claim that something's fishy. Otherwise, they're trying to find a conspiracy where none exists. Cheers, Scott.

Post #298,144 by Another Scott 10/19/08 7:59:27 PM Reply	Newsweek covered that. http://www.newsweek.com/id/162403 There's a difference between a donation and buying T-shirts, so it's not surprising that it took a little while to get straightened out, is it? Your buddy Bob has had some run-ins with the FEC, too, you know. http://www.tylwythteg.com/enemies/Barr/barr1.html If you're going to go after Barack, you should find a better cause, IMHO. ;-) Cheers, Scott.
Post #298,130 by rcareaga 10/19/08 12:49:01 PM Reply	Here's one from behind the Zion Curtain (no, not that one, boxley) http://www.sltrib.com/opinion/ci_10750163 "...the country's next commander in chief must also be its mender in chief, capable of inspiring his angry and divided constituents to join together in a recovery project to restore the peace, prosperity, and self-confidence we once knew. We fear that a lesser effort may be insufficient to reverse America's slide toward economic, political and societal chaos. The times require dramatic and comprehensive change. The presidential candidates know it, and have made it their mantra. Most Americans know it, and, in growing numbers, are demanding it. The countries that have long depended upon the United States for enlightened global leadership long for it. For the sake of all, and for those who follow us, we must have it. The editorial board of The Salt Lake Tribune believes that Barack Obama can deliver it." Whoa, thought I, the Salt lake fucking Tribune, there in the very home office of Momo-land? Biggest city in Utah, among the reddest of red states, and likely one of the few in which the O campaign is stinting its efforts? Have the earth's magnetic poles reversed while I slept? Of course, there was this bit later in the editorial, which made it a bit less mystifying: "John McCain, meanwhile, crushed Mitt Romney to gain his party's nomination, but then blundered badly by not bringing the business-savvy Romney onto the ticket." The LDS has a long memory... cordially,
