A lawyer for the Republican National Committee today said the party will ask the Federal Election Commission to look into the source of thousands of small-dollar contributions to the presidential campaign of Sen. Barack Obama.
The RNC is alleging that the Obama campaign was so hungry for donations it "looked the other way" as contributions piled up from suspicious, and possibly even illegal foreign donors.
"We believe that the American people should know first and foremost if foreign money is pouring into a presidential election," said RNC Chief Counsel Sean Cairncross.
Cairncross alleged there was mounting evidence of this, and cited an Oct. 4 report in Newsweek that documents a handful of instances where donors made repeated small donations using fake names, such as "Good Will" and "Doodad Pro."

I heard Obama's campaign has 1/2 billion dollars....much is expected to have come in from overseas.
Hey, but do not fear we have McCain's campaign finance laws protecting us....(sarc)
Obama does not have to disclose contributions coming in under $200, McCain does anyway. I suspect some smart Oil sheik has contributed most of it in $200 increments.
How about also demanding to see an authentic birth certificate?
Why do you think Obamination went abroad if not to collect campaign funds? The Muzzies have complied, I have no doubt.
Obama's already run his 24 hour ad....you would think that any reporter, even in the MSM, would be even a bit curious about where all this mega money is flowing in from. But hey, why should we worry about the money, campaign finance reform is keeping everyone honest.
the media will call the RNC crybabies and spin as such
“How about finding out if he is a citizen while you are at it.”
Sure, why shouldn’t a foreigner use foreign money. LOL
I would love to know just how many CC donations are $199.99 just under the limit?
How about hundreds of thousands of volunteers investigating RAT voter fraud that has been plotted for months and old standbys that have been used for decades. They’re digging in grave yards and going into nursing homes and homeless shelters stealing votes. Let’s not forget the illegals voting too.
Yet another piece of the attack narrative.
Isn’t this a little too late?
Timing is everything.
All the issues being raised are "common sense" type issues that Joe six-pack will understand.
The convoluted explanation that would be required for the MSM to bail out Obama will not be able to be implemented in time to outweigh the damage of the people see his true colors prior to election day.
IMHO, California is still in play (as is evey other state in the union).
Yet another piece of the attack narrative.
Agree.
He has to be overwhelmed with negatives before voters will take a serious look into them.
About frickin’ time. Too bad the Glorious Leader and his shock troops will shut the investigation down in about three months.
Day late and a dollar short guys.....
For Hillary it is.
For McCain/Palin October is prime time.
Bingo!
***The average Free Republic poster would be a significant upgrade to virtually any of the Republican Party ‘leadership’.***
I completely agree with you.
Thank you! This is perfect timing to get inside the Obama head even more. It has been known for sometime but the electorate doesn’t start listening until right before the election.
What’s Obama’s next move? Say it is racist again?
So many people on here are so quick to judge that everything McCain is doing is wrong that it makes me wonder. This is a chess match and McCain is controlling the board right now.
