Smoke in ObamaTeepee - Donor scandal story coming soon
2012-10-06
Champ's reelection campaign, rattled by his piss poor debate performance, could be in for even worse news. According to knowledgeable sources, a national magazine and a national web site are preparing a blockbuster donor scandal story. Sources told Secrets that the Obama campaign has been trying to block the story. But a key source said it plans to publish the story Friday or, more likely, Monday.

According to the sources, a taxpayer watchdog group conducted a nine-month investigation into presidential and congressional fundraising and has uncovered thousands of cases of credit card solicitations and donations to Obama and Capitol Hill, allegedly from unsecure accounts, and many from overseas. That might be a violation of federal election laws.

#6  The donor story will become big news if Obama is blown out in the election. Until then it will remain quiet.

Liberals think with their emotions. Thus if it feels right or good the facts don't matter. Thus instead of arguing with logic to prove their solution is better they argue with emotion to prove that it should be this way and if you disargree you are evil.

#3  Big deal. If his media palace guard picks this up at all, it will be treated as another nothing to see here story.

#2  I run into liberals; some are friends. I have found that you cannot reasonably or logically discuss politics with them. If they don't get agitated and visibly upset and hate you, they fall back on: "Well, I know, I know, but I just feel that way." It is usually a waste of your breath and energy.

Unless the MSM gets on the donor story, it won't get any legs except in the blogs and on Fox. Now, Romney might bring it up in the debates if Obama starts to make the debates personal and dirty. However, I suspect Obama will save the personal attacks for speeches outside of the debates or leave the dirty work to surrogates such as Axlerod and others.

#1  Pffffttt. Old news. It ALWAYS was the case that name/address verification was turned off at the O's website. ANYBODY who wanted to make this point with a Democrat could have suggested making a $10 donation to the website, but put in "Mickey Maus" as the name.

This was always a strategy in my pocket for the liberal in the cube across from mine if the debate turned to fundraising. A good problem solver and project manager, but always seemed to leave their brains at work when they went home.
