>From the Washington Post: - - - Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign is allowing donors to use largely untraceable prepaid credit cards that could potentially be used to evade limits on how much an individual is legally allowed to give or to mask a contributor's identity, campaign officials confirmed. Faced with a huge influx of donations over the Internet, the campaign has also chosen not to use basic security measures to prevent potentially illegal or anonymous contributions from flowing into its accounts, aides acknowledged. Instead, the campaign is scrutinizing its books for improper donations after the money has been deposited. The Obama organization said its extensive review has ensured that the campaign has refunded any improper contributions, and noted that Federal Election Commission rules do not require front-end screening of donations. - - - The man promised to accept public financing if McCain did. McCain is living within in the comparatively draconian limits on spending that they require. But the Messiah broke that promise with impunity, is using his war machine's campaign chest to buy a half hour infomercial, and on top of that is using whatever cracks are in the campaign law to keep that war chest flush with cash, at least until the election, after which, no doubt, he'll find all the culprits and send them back their cash--with a thank you note. This is disgusting, and is Exhibit A of what will be a long string of broken promises and deliberate subterfuges of all ethics and morals of his "new politics". Exhibit B was his promise to vote against FISA. Exhibit C his shifting description of his position on war from unrepentant dove to clever hawk. I could easily run out of letters in the English alphabet recounting more examples. >From Federalist Papers #59: "It ought never to be forgotten that a firm union of this country, under an efficient government, will probably be an increasing object of jealousy to more than one nation in Europe; and that enterprises to subvert it will seldom fail to be patronized and abetted by some of them. Its preservation, therefore, ought in no case that can be avoided to be committed to the guardianship of any but those whose situation will uniformly beget an immediate interest in the faithful and vigilant performance of the trust." How anyone can argue based on *facts* that Obama displays this faithfulness and vigilance I cannot begin to understand. - Bob _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
