WASHINGTON (AP) – Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has raised about $3.3 million from contributors who did not list a home state or who designated their state with an abbreviation that did not match one of the 50 states or U.S. territories, according to records provided by the Federal Election Commission. The Republican National Committee filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission on Monday asking for an investigation of Obama’s foreign contributions, among other things.

BHO: Bucks & Ballots Make Change, Change, Change

By Allan Erickson      10.8.08

 

One guy:  “Man, this guy makes Slick Willie look like a cub scout.”

Other guy:  “Yeah, you gotta give him credit, though.  He sure knows how to organize.”

 

Barack Obama says he has lived the American dream, that nowhere else on earth could a man like him from humble beginnings rise so far so fast.   Ours is the greatest country on earth, he says, and he loves our country.   What a wonderful country.

 

‘Now let’s change everything.’

 

What’s that?

 

Change is BHO’s specialty.

 

He changed from high school (where he learned America is racist, sexist, warlike and exploitive) to Occidental College, to Columbia University, and then to Harvard Law School.   Reportedly, much of his schooling involved learning to embrace the ‘reality’ that America is racist, sexist, jingoistic, and exploitive.  From law school he changed into a community organizer and learned more about rotten America from disciples of Marxist Saul Alinsky, and from Bill Ayers, mastermind of domestic terrorism in the 60s.

 

Again, he changed and while being groomed for politics he lectured law and married another community organizer, both agreeing America is racist, sexist, jingoistic, and exploitive.   They started a family, and a non-profit activist outfit named Public Allies, an organization committed to teaching young people that America is racist, sexist, homophobic, jingoistic and exploitive.  He changed again, and expanded his range, working for ACORN, another organization devoted to spreading the gospel that America is the problem.  Along that same line he and Ayers sought change.  They managed a $100M war chest in Chicago to radicalize public schools there, teaching children America is the problem: sexist, racist, homophobic, jingoistic, exploitive.

 

BHO changed.  He became a state senator voting “present” 130 times.  Ran for U.S. Senate.  After 143 days on the job, after promising to complete his term, he started a run for the presidency, promising change, offering hope.  The agenda appears to be: ‘We must take the most successful democratic republic ever known, and change it from top down, because it is racist, sexist, homophobic, jingoistic, and exploitive.  We are going to do this by destroying capitalism, submitting to the U.N., removing God from the picture, and replacing him with the benevolence of federal domination.’

 

Working hard toward realizing those hopeful dreams to change America, BHO has campaigned for what, 21 months, day and night crisscrossing the nation, and Europe, spreading the message, and changing the message, innumerable times.

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKF0VVnKmHQ

 

BHO has changed.  Where once he talked across the board tax increases and increases in government spending, today he sounds like Reagan.  At one time he talked about taking a defensive posture in the face of terrorism, and cutting defense.  Now, he tries to sound like Reagan.   At one time he promoted radicalism and gay rights and abortion, now he sounds like a traditionalist, at least in a watered down way. Not long ago he told us we had to leave our religion and our guns and embrace universalism, depending on government for our collective salvation.  Now he sounds like John Wayne riding off to Pakistan to shoot bin Laden with a .30/.30.

 

And the people are buying this Blue State Special, apparently unaware the culture war is in reality a war for the soul of America, yes, a religious war—-socialist humanism versus Judeo-Christian capitalism. 

 

Well, ok.  The voters decide.  Fair elections determine our fate.  So be it. 

 

Only problem is, are we talkin’ fair election?

 

For months the reports have come in about voter fraud (see stories below). 

 

For weeks, the reports have surfaced concerning foreign money flowing into the Obama campaign.  An FEC official is calling for an investigation into $200M allegedly coming from foreign powers.  $200M is 40% of the record breaking $500M Obama has raised, more than twice the amount of any candidate for president, ever, including Hillary Clinton.

What’s up?

 

Is the government looking into all this?  Somewhat.  Kind of a like Fannie Mae oversight: let ‘er rip until doomsday.  After all, the quest is to aid those victimized by racism, sexism, homophobia, jingoism and capitalism, so, hey, if we bend the rules a little here and there to level the playing field, that’s justice, right?

 

Is it fair to question Obama’s changes and his principles and his character and judgment and trustworthiness through all of this?  Of course it is.  But you see, if you do, you are an ignorant, anti-modern, racist, sexist, homophobic, jingoistic, capitalist dog, so just play along, if you know what is good for you. 

 

America is fading away.  “Turn and face the strange changes . . . ‘   America is fading away, and Americans are making it happen.  Looks like we are going to put a radical activist sympathetic to our enemies in charge of the U.S. military in a time of war.  Yup.  Huh?

 

Why don’t we just commit suicide and be done with it?

 

Ahmadinejad & The Boys don’t need nuclear weapons.  The Obama/Soros/ACORN/Alinsky/Ayers cabal is doing the heavy lifting for them.  Who knows?  Maybe a majority of Americans will wake up before the fox eats all the chickens, but it’s not looking too promising.  We need our rest you know.

The ACORN/Obama Voter Registration “Thug Thizzle”

Michelle Malkin

October 08, 2008

Systemic corruption of our election process continues. Barack Obama and his old friends at ACORN and Project Vote are leading the way. This radical revolution is taking place in your backyard. And as I’ve reported before, this voter-fraud racket is on your dime.

Coupling these revelations with accusations of voter fraud perpetrated by Obama’s ACORN organization, and it is high time to call for a full investigation.   No doubt there’s probable cause…

Bill Maher: Man of Faith

 

by Allan Erickson 10.5.08

Although he doesn’t know it, Bill Maher is a man of faith.

He has faith his audience will sustain him no matter what comes out of his mouth on Friday nights.

He has faith his money will be good at the Playboy mansion.

He has faith his brain stem will continue to regulate his metabolism, blood flow, respiration, brain function.

He has faith Time Warner and HBO will protect him from the Catholic Church.

He has faith Todd Palin is not vindictive.

Bill has faith people will forget his crude remarks about 9/11.

He has faith no one of significance will hold him accountable for his seditious lies.

Bill Maher has faith there is no God, and if it turns out there is, Bill has faith he won’t be held accountable.

Bill has faith his movie will have an impact but the statistics so far contradict that faith, indicating Bill is only preaching to the choir. *

He has faith when he dies, that is all there is to it, there is no hell.

When Jesus Christ asks him, “What does it profit a man to gain the whole world but lose his soul?”, Bill has faith that Christ is wrong, he will not lose his soul.

Yet, even if one removes eternity from consideration, the faith of Bill Maher remains entirely self-centered, belying an immaturity and self-focus which are entirely antagonistic to a sense of community, the idea of people working for the greatest good for the greatest number.

Good luck with that faith of yours, Bill.  You’ll need it, or not.  Believe it or not, many people of faith are praying for your soul, praying you’ll turn before God runs out of patience.

Illegal foreign money benefitting Obama?

“The FEC breakdown of the Obama campaign has identified a staggering $222.7 million as coming from contributions of $200 or less. Only $39.6 million of that amount comes from donors the Obama campaign has identified.  It is the largest pool of unidentified money that has ever flooded into the U.S. election system, before or after the McCain-Feingold campaign finance reforms of 2002.”

 

 

Mounting Evidence Indicates Illegal Money Flowing from Foreigners to Obama Campaign

Calls for formal investigation go unheeded so far

 

By Allan Erickson

10.2.08

 

More than a few eyebrows are being raised in view of the massive monetary war chest amassed by Sen. Barack Obama who once promised to rely on public campaign financing, only to reverse himself in view of the obvious advantage of raising far more money by private means.

 

The undisclosed sources of large private sums allegedly donated overseas is the cause for concern, especially in view of federal law which prohibits foreign money flowing to American campaign coffers.

 

As the Obama campaign approaches a record-setting $500m mark*, more than twice the amount of any other presidential candidate ever, reports indicate an unnamed Federal Election Commission auditor is calling for a formal investigation.

 

The Obama campaign has assured voters its fundraising activities are entirely legal.  Campaign officials have noted internet contributions cannot always be policed, especially if donors lie about their status.

 

AP reports both McCain and Obama have received contributions from overseas.  Reportedly, these contributions are legal as they come from American citizens living overseas and military personnel.  The controversy surrounds money coming from unknown foreign individuals and organizations donated illegally, allegedly.

 

AP reports: “Obama has raised at least $2 million abroad, far more than McCain’s total of at least $229,000, according to the AP’s review of campaign finance records.”

The following reports however raise more serious questions about funds flowing to Obama from foreign sources in Iran, Nigeria and Arab nations like Libya.

 

 

 

OBAMA’S FISHY $200m

http://www.spectator.org/dsp_article.asp?art_id=13981

 

EXCERPTS:

 

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.”

 

The FEC analyst says that Obama’s filings indicate he has received large, bundled sums of donations from overseas, sometimes exceeding a quarter millions dollars. “It’s suspicious, but it’s the small donations made by credit card that need to be examined. We’ve raised red flags on many of these and the Obama campaign just ignores us. After this election, after we’ve sifted through everything — if we’re allowed to sift through everything — I am confident that we are looking at perhaps the largest fine every leveled against a national campaign entity.”

Big Donors, Too, Have Seats at Obama Fund-Raising Table

N.Y. Times

By MICHAEL LUO and CHRISTOPHER DREW

Published: August 5, 2008

 

Excerpts:

 

“Given his decision not to accept public financing, Mr. Obama is counting on his bundlers to help him raise $300 million for his general-election campaign and another $180 million for the Democratic National Committee.

 

An analysis of campaign finance records shows that about two-thirds of his bundlers are concentrated in four major industries: law, securities and investments, real estate and entertainment. Lawyers make up the largest group, numbering roughly 130, with many of them working for firms that also have lobbying arms. At least 100 Obama bundlers are top executives or brokers from investment businesses: nearly two dozen work for financial titans like Lehman Brothers, Goldman Sachs or Citigroup. About 40 others come from the real estate industry.”

According to the unnamed FEC auditor, and the following report from NewsMax, it is suspected bundling overseas accounts for huge sums flowing illegally to the Obama campaign.

 

 

 

 

SECRET, FOREIGN MONEY FLOODS INTO THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN

http://www.newsmax.com/timmerman/Obama_fundraising_illegal/2008/09/29/135718.html

 

EXCERPTS:

 

More than half of the whopping $426.9 million Barack Obama has raised has come from small donors whose names the Obama campaign won’t disclose.

 

Unlike the McCain campaign, which has made its complete donor database available online, the Obama campaign has not identified donors for nearly half the amount he has raised, according to the Center for Responsive Politics (CRP).

 

The FEC breakdown of the Obama campaign has identified a staggering $222.7 million as coming from contributions of $200 or less. Only $39.6 million of that amount comes from donors the Obama campaign has identified.

 

It is the largest pool of unidentified money that has ever flooded into the U.S. election system, before or after the McCain-Feingold campaign finance reforms of 2002.

 

In July and August, the head of the Nigeria’s stock market held a series of pro-Obama fundraisers in Lagos, Nigeria’s largest city. The events attracted local Nigerian business owners.

 

At one event, a table for eight at one fundraising dinner went for $16,800. Nigerian press reports claimed sponsors raked in an estimated $900,000.

 

In June, Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi gave a public speech praising Obama, claiming foreign nationals were donating to his campaign.

 

“All the people in the Arab and Islamic world and in Africa applauded this man,” the Libyan leader said. “They welcomed him and prayed for him and for his success, and they may have even been involved in legitimate contribution campaigns to enable him to win the American presidency…”

 

Though Gadhafi asserted that fundraising from Arab and African nations were “legitimate,” the fact is that U.S. federal law bans any foreigner from donating to a U.S. election campaign.

 

The rise of the Internet and use of credit cards have made it easier for foreign nationals to donate to American campaigns, especially if they claim their donation is less than $200.

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–

 

According to NewsMax . . . “Larry Noble, a former Federal Election Commission general counsel, said the ability to donate money via the Internet ‘has raised the ease with which someone could make a foreign national contribution.’   http://www.newsmax.com/insidecover/obama_foreign_money/2008/08/11/120896.html

Dems Bailout Proposal Redirects ‘Paulson’s Profits’ To Left-Wing Groups… Will Media Notice?

By Warner Todd Huston

September 26, 2008

http://newsbusters.org/blogs/warner-todd-huston/2008/09/26/dems-bailout-proposal-redirects-paulsons-profits-left-wing-group

 

Bush told the country that we are in an economic crisis and his Treasury Secretary, Henry Paulson, came up with an idea that would, it is claimed, end up actually making money for the U.S. Treasury in the long run. That’s all well and good, but the Democrats already have a plan to siphon off any repayment of the people’s money back to the treasury by adding one little line to the agreement that would end up stealing money from any repayments and giving it to left-wing political advocacy groups like ACORN, the National Urban League and the Hispanic group La Raza. Instead of trying to help the economy, the Democrats just want more money for their left-wing political constituents. It’s business as usual for the Democrats, of course, but a bigger question is will the media let them get away with it?

 

On Thursday, the Senate Democrats shopped around a one page “Agreement in Principle” from the U.S. Senate Banking Committee that laid out their proposal for the bailout of the economy. At first it all seems rather straight forward, but hidden inside this document is one little line that proves that Democrats aren’t as interested in the economy as they are in trying to extort a payday for their favorite political advocacy groups. Yes, even in a bill as important as the bailout the Democrats are trying to stuff it with pork!
