Laws are for Republicans
What do you expect from someone who’s support comes primarily from dead voters and fraudulent voters?
Sure seems like a last minute effective campaign ad to me
“The selling of an election”
As I posted on another thread about it...
Interesting. An opening this big for potential illegal foreign contributions supercedes the necessity of the bureaucracy of a "Federal Election Commission" or a "Constitution" for that matter.
De-constructing and de-constituting The United States of America.
McCain should just run an ad saying Obama agreed to take matching funds which would have limited his ability to raise obscene amounts of money.
Then show a clip of Obama now refusing to live by his promise. Say we now know why...Obama is now taking illegal money from Iran, Syria, and North Korea—this is why he didn’t want to limit his ability to raise money. He’s in the pocket of the terrorists. Why else would he have turned off standard fraud protection for credit card donations. In fact, Amedinajad has given him $$$ and so has Osama bin Laden.
Do you really want the next president to be someone that is willing to take money from Osama Bin Laden?
I find it interesting that one Mary Biskop from Missouri donated $174,000 to Obama even though she says she donated nothing.
My business would never be allowed to process such transactions. Who is the merchant bank handling Obama’s C/C processing?
Is anybody going to do anything about this?
This broke last week on Ace of Spades HQ and a bunch of other conservative blogs. I’ve got a few years’ experience on the IT side of the credit card industry, plus my wife has a small side business that takes and processes cards, so let me explain...
AVS is used to reduce the “chargeback” rate on credit card transactions. A chargeback is when a transaction is disputed or reversed, basically an error. High chargeback rates cause the credit card processors to charge the vendor more per transaction to cover the increased costs of handling the reversals. You as a business might pay your processor, say, 1% per credit card transaction you run. If your chargeback rate goes too high, they’ll ramp it up to 2%. But if you use AVS, you might only have to pay .6%. Every bank and processor does it differently.
For my wife’s business, what we are required to do to get a lower rate, when we enter a credit card transaction through our terminal, is collect the house number and zip code of the cardholder’s billing address. (We only sell at craft shows, not in stores, and don’t have an online presence.) We put that in along with the card number, expiration date, amount, etc., and get a lower rate taken out of the money before the processor sends it to us. If we don’t have that address info, we can send the transaction, but the rate roughly doubles.
AVS is almost always on by DEFAULT. Try making an online credit card purchase virtually anywhere, even a donation at the McCain campaign, and screw up one digit in your zipcode or mess up your address, and it won’t fly. At many places, try making a purchase even with the right address, and if you screw up your CVV/CVC (that little three- or four-digit code printed on your card’s signature plate), it won’t fly.
AVS is a fraud-protection system for the business, and it saves them money in lower rates paid to the credit card processor. I honestly cannot think of a reason that you would EVER want to run without AVS if there is an option for you to use it...or you wanted to let things slip through the cracks.

Where was that Democrat attorney Berg when we needed him? He could file suit to enforce campaign finance laws. Or, is Berg only capable of filing one suit at a time?
If true couldn’t someone from the Justice Dept. step in, or a quick filing with a proper court?
This has been going on for at least a couple of years. I would be willing to bet that the amount of donations from IP addresses in China, Saudi & other muslim countries is in the tens, if not hundreds of millions. 1600 Penn. Ave. is for sale to foreign bidders.
Thanks for posting. Thanks to all posters. Re-BUMP!
as far as I know, I was the first to say it here: we need BUSH to suspend the election and verify all voter registrations.
It is a shame, but we need immediate protection from fraud, and that means a national ID card or mandatory picture ID cards for all voters in their states
BIOMETRIC verification, fingerprints or iris scan preferred to verify
Obama is stealing this election, and he is doing it in a criminal manner, not a metaphoric theft, but a legimate threat.
Maybe a special prosecutor? Something need to be done or the rules need to be repealed.
Republicans tend to not cheat in elections and, as such, we get our heads handed to us over and over again!
Thanks for posting.

He’s selling an album of songs, all of the money up through the election goes to his campaign, after the election, the label will start to get money.
At least one of the artists who contributed work to the album is not an American (the guy from the Eurythmics). That should be a contribution “of value”.
They will not mail the CD to a foreign address but they do offer digital downloads regardless of where you live.
