DUBIOUS DONATIONS

DUBIOUS DONATIONS - New York Post

Barack Obama has proved the greatest fund-raiser of all time by a long shot. His campaign has raised more than $600 million - $150 million in September alone. But the campaign has also failed to adopt standard protections against fraudulent giving.

...

Last Thursday, he decided to conduct an experiment.

He went to the Obama campaign Web site and made a donation under the name "John Galt" (the hero of Ayn Rand's novel "Atlas Shrugged"). He provided the equally fictitious address "1957 Ayn Rand Lane, Galts Gulch, CO 99999."

He checked the box next to $15 and entered his actual credit-card number and expiration date. He was then taken to the next page and notified that his donation had been processed.

He then tried the same experiment on the McCain site, which rejected the transaction. He returned to the Obama site and made three more donations using the names Osama bin Laden, Saddam Hussein and Bill Ayers, all with different addresses but the same credit card. The transactions all went through. By Saturday, he'd reported that the transactions had all posted to his credit-card account.

Obama Praised 'Searing and Timely' Book by Ayers

Obama Praised 'Searing and Timely' Book by Ayers - FOXNews.com Elections

Barack Obama, who has consistently downplayed his relationship with William Ayers during his presidential campaign, once gave a glowing endorsement of a book by the former domestic terrorist and was mentioned by name in the book itself.

Remember folks, this is NOT about whether Obama is a terrorist. No one thinks Obama is a terrorist. This about the type of people Barack Obama chooses to associate with. Not people who he just happens to know - people he chooses to know. It goes to the heart of the character of Obama himself that he has to distance himself from everyone who has had a significant impact on his life.

His friend and co-worker of ten years, Bill Ayers - who's "just a guy" in his neighborhood

His friend and major fundraiser, Tony Rezko - Whose name he will not speak.

His priest of 20 years, Jeremiah Wright - whose sermons he apparently never listened to.

His friend, Khalid al-Mansour, former Black Panther leader that helped get him into Harvard - um...who???

His neighbor of 15 years, Minister Louis Farrakhan - apparently Obama doesn't know who he is.

None of these people would disqualify Obama from running for President - so why does Obama insist on minimizing his relationships with people who obviously had so much of an effect on his life?

Remember people, the trouble with Clinton wasn't that he had oral sex with an intern in the White House (no matter how much the Democrats want you to think it was). It was about his dishonesty about it - both under oath and with the American people. Character matters people!

Complaint hits Rezko land deal

Washington Times - Complaint hits Rezko land deal

A former Illinois bank official, now claiming whistleblower status, says bank officials replaced a loan reappraisal that he prepared for a Chicago property that was purchased by the wife of now-convicted felon Tony Rezko, part of which was later sold to next-door neighbor Barack Obama.

Nothing to see here, folks. Move on. This "just a guy" in Obama's neighborhood. Probably never even spoke to him.

Never mind the fact that he purchased a piece of property that Obama couldn't afford and then sold him the usable portion of it for way less than market value.

Never mind the fact that he raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for Obama.

Never mind that Rezko has been convicted of soliciting kickbacks from companies wanting to do business with the State of Illinois (remind me, who was a state senator there?).

Never mind all of that. We've got a picture of President Bush and you can actually see Jack Abramoff in the background - he's the real criminal, your honor...

If America manages to elect this character (or lack thereof), the people that voted for him will get exactly what they deserve. The rest of us will just have to suffer along with them.

The Home Stretch - A call to action

Okay folks, it's time to get it ramped up! Four weeks to go until election day and the race is still very close. I am certain that there will be more and more stories out there about Obama and William Ayers, Tony Rezko and a host of others coming out. The democrats will call this "swift boating". I call it bringing out the truth and not leaving your opponent the luxury of creating a good lie in response.

I, myself, will be posting stories that have more and more of an impact. Some of them are things I've resisted posting before because I was hoping not to get too serious about the election. I was hoping America would figure out who this guy is long before now. But it hasn't.

It is time that Mr. Obama come clean on Bill Ayers. It is time for Obama to provide some details on what he considers "responsible" when it comes to off-shore drilling, nuclear power, Iraq withdrawal, etc. Everything Obama is really against, he says he would do if it can be done "responsibly". We need to know what this means. It is time for Obama to own up to his votes on the Born Alive Infant Protection Act. It is time for Obama to tell America why his chief economic advisor is one of the people most largely responsible for the mortgage mess we are in. It is time for Obama to come clean on his dealings with ACORN. It is time for Obama to answer the questions about almost $200 million in unidentified campaign contributions.

To the Mad Sociologist and any other people who disagree with me - sorry. This is my blog and you've got yours. I am more than happy to debate, discuss and disagree and I actually enjoy doing so. But make no mistake - my purpose over the next four weeks is to do everything I ethically can to help get John McCain and Sarah Palin elected. This means there will be no lies posted here, but there will be plenty of questions and plenty of information that I believe people need to know.

To those on "our side": It is time for you to do your part to ensure that our country does not fall into the hands of a liberal President, liberal House and liberal Senate with two liberal Supreme Court justices about to retire. There is too much at stake.

Our party is not perfect - far from it. We have some corrupt politicians, money coming from places it shouldn't and people who put their best interests before our country's. We will deal with them. We must if we are to survive. But allowing the Democrats complete control over this mess they have helped create is not an acceptable solution.

I believe that John McCain and Sarah Palin will do whatever they can to root out this kind of crap from our government. They will not be completely successful but they will be a step in the right direction. If they step on some Republican toes to get it done - then maybe those toes need stepped on.

Your job, dear readers, is to visit here frequently and let people know about this site and other sites like it. Don't let the lies go unanswered.

AP Shows Bias With ‘Racist Palin’ Hit Piece | Sweetness & Light

Someone...anyone...please explain to me how discussing Obama's "palling around with terrorists" is racist. Anyone?

AP Shows Bias With ‘Racist Palin’ Hit Piece Sweetness & Light

from the article:

Palin’s words avoid repulsing voters with overt racism. But is there another subtext for creating the false image of a black presidential nominee “palling around” with terrorists while assuring a predominantly white audience that he doesn’t see their America?

In a post-Sept. 11 America, terrorists are envisioned as dark-skinned radical Muslims, not the homegrown anarchists of Ayers’ day 40 years ago. With Obama a relative unknown when he began his campaign, the Internet hummed with false e-mails about ties to radical Islam of a foreign-born candidate.

Whether intended or not by the McCain campaign, portraying Obama as “not like us” is another potential appeal to racism.

Obama's fishy $200 million

The American Spectator

An auditor for the Federal Election Commission is attempting to have his bosses seek a formal investigation into the collection by the Obama for President campaign of more than $200 million in potentially illegal political donations, including millions of dollars of illegal, foreign donations, and has sought a request for assistance from the Department of Justice or Federal Bureau of Investigation. But the analyst's requests have largely been ignored. "I can't get anyone to move. I believe we are looking at a hijacking of our political system that makes the Clinton and Gore fundraising scandals pale in comparison. And no one here wants to touch it."

Devastating Video for the media to ignore: Obama talks about job Bill Ayers Gave him as qualification for US Senate

Devastating Video for the media to ignore: Obama talks about job Bill Ayers Gave him as qualification for US Senate | Infidels Are Cool

Another OUCH for Obama.  Geesh, stuff just keeps coming out about the man who the media and liberal-elite fully trust without recognition of ANY background check, yet are “terrorized” at the thought of a vice-president who happens to be the most popular governor in the country.

Here Obama is, in an interview, laying out his job qualifications for the US Senate, and one of the things he cites as a qualification is being the Chairman of the Board for the Annenberg Challenge, which was set up by Bill Ayers himself, including a “meet the candidate” event for Obama hosted at Bill ayers home.  Things just keep geting worse and worse for the “Unknown Chosen One”.

Thanks to Lucianne.com for pointing to this video.  Please try to ignore the "Terminator" music and pay attention to the details.  And remember, this is just some guy Obama knew...

Barack Obama — Magna Cum Saudi?

IBDeditorials.com: Editorials, Political Cartoons, and Polls from Investor's Business Daily -- Barack Obama — Magna Cum Saudi?

Does Barack Obama owe his meteoric rise to an Israeli-hating adviser to a Saudi billionaire? Why did a race-baiting mentor to the Black Panthers favor this yet unknown community organizer?

Interesting article about where Obama's money came from.  What is it, exactly, that I would need to do in order to get someone else to raise money for my education at Harvard??

Funny how President Bush was inextricably linked to Jack Abramoff because they were in the same picture at the White House but the mainstream media can't seem to drum up the interest to look into Obama's association with this guy, Tony Rezko and William Ayers when he, so obviously, had much tighter connections than he is claiming.

Obama Should Come Clean On Ayers, Rezko And the Iraqi Billionaire

Obama Should Come Clean On Ayers, Rezko And the Iraqi Billionaire - WSJ.com

Even as Barack Obama gave his soaring speech Thursday night, his campaign was playing hardball with its critics.

Team Obama has launched an offensive against WGN, the Chicago Tribune's radio station, for interviewing Stanley Kurtz. Mr. Kurtz is a conservative writer who this week forced the University of Illinois to finally open its records on Sen. Obama's association with William Ayers, the unrepentant 1970s Weather Underground terrorist. - more-

These stories will not go away until Obama is completely honest about them. I don't think Obama is a terrorist. Nor do I think he approves of Mr. Ayers' actions. But until he stops lying about how much they worked with each other - it will not go away.

It's sort of like the John Edwards story. He John had come clean and admitted to everything, he would have been left alone like yesterday's news. But now the tabloids still have information on him and he won't come clean.

Tony Rezko and Nadhmi Auchi are different stories. There is only a wisp of smoke right now but there is definitely fire here.
