    Yes, I read the story.

    Important to note they did not say what address they entered upon donation.

    Actually, if you go to the Obama page and pick a dollar amount it asks for your address.

    It would appear your contention is not correct.

    no doubt, not to mention donations that go directly to Romney's offshore accounts

    LOLOLOL. ANYTHING for messiah obama, right?

    I think what you really meant to say is that he is busy running the country...into the ground, covering up the deaths of 4 Americans in Benghazi, etc.

    Go ahead, keep making excuses for this criminal.

    Read it and laugh... As a former SysAdmin, riddle me what a Pakistani proxy server is? Do you even know what a Proxy Server is?...

    Also, what is a Pakistani Internet Protocol?

    So, why don't you look those things up before I call your post absolutely idiotic and you have a chance to redeem yourself...

    I'd like to know who all his foreign donors are.

    I'm still waiting for someone outraged by this to explain what they think the campaigns should do.

    It's not illegal to accept donations from Americans living overseas, so refusing overseas IPs isn't the answer.

    So what is it, exactly, that you want the Obama campaign to do?

    I've seen two suggestions:

    1. They should require the 3-digit CVV code on the back of the donor's credit card. I'm not sure why, since as far as I can tell there's no geographical or citizenship information associated with that code.

    2. They should scan for foreign IPs, and then prompt such users to provide a passport or military ID number. This is fine as far as it goes. But nothing stops a person from entering a fake number, and IPs aren't an exact proxy for location.

    3. They should use the AVS, or address-verification system. Except this merely ensures that the address entered by the donor matches the address associated with the card. And it has some serious technical limitations: It is not widely supported outside the United States, and some countries specifically block verification of credit-card data.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Address_Verification_System

    Tangentially, nothing proposed by the critics would address the problem of noncitizens within U.S. borders contributing to campaigns.

    You assume protocol is symmetrical. I've heard that is not. That should outrage not just me but supporters of Scumbag-in-Chief.

    WTF am I thinking? You've already rationalized soooo many atrocities what is the trouble with one more?

    You've "heard"? Do you have any actual evidence?

    And a difference in protocol only matters if it's actually substantive. Romney could choose not to accept donations at all from overseas; it wouldn't make accepting overseas donations unethical.

    Well done. You've pre-rationalized.

    And you have yet to provide any actual evidence that Obama is a) doing something wrong or b) doing anything differently than Romney.

    What I stated was a truism: Obama's not wrong just because Romney does something different. Show us what they're doing differently, and why Romney is right and Obama is wrong.

    Then we can judge.

    He has received funds from slimy people from the beginning. Coming from, going to or any weird people is not shocking at all to me. Obama would take money from the terrorist themselves.

    I see zero evidence provided that would indicate that the president did something that was somehow different than other candidates nor do I see any evidence the president would "take money form terrorist themselves".

    I certainly invite you to put forth a citation for your claims and I would certainly review it with an open mind, but I fear your statement is nothing more than bad rhetoric.

    From your second link.

    Meanwhile, Mitt Romney will be hold fundraisers in London and Jerusalem this week as part of an international itinerary, reports Global Research.

    Like I said, just like everyone else.

    Can I now presume you will extend your values, and your criticisms, to Mitt Romney also?

    There goes the goalposts! Moved to justify Mitt engaging in the exact same behavior as Obama.

    I am sorry. I doubt it was intentional, but you made me laugh. Rarely have I seen a post so blatantly hypocritical, so shameless in it's duality of standards. Fundraising from Americans abroad is bad when Obama does it, but once it is pointed out to you that your very own link was the one that stated Mitt does the same thing, then it really just depends on what country they are in, right? Fundraising abroad is bad when Obama does it, but no so bad when Mitt does it, right?

    As usual, you stuck your foot in your mouth! I did not say he DID! I said he would! And anyone with half a brain can see he would take money from a terrorist or a baby. He doesn't care where it comes from. Hell, he spends the tax payers money and doesn't care if anyone starves to death.
    And for your information, I too fear your statements are nothing more than bad rhetoric. It usually is. While you try so hard to put forth a intelligent, wordy, post like your going to invite me to put forth a "Citation" for my claims while you review it (lmfao) with a "open" mind. I do however need to inform or let you know your either confused or misquoted me. I never said this>>>> "take money form terrorist themselves" I said "from" So climb off the high horse.

    Listen. I am sorry you are wrong. I am sorry you did not read your own links or know that Mitt too went fundraising abroad. I am sorry you will not extend your criticism to your own party.

    But in reality, this is what happens when you tangle with the quickest intellect in town. You are going trip yourself up sooner or later. Unfortunately for your argument, it was sooner.


    Actually, you did say that. See post 67.

    Yep. You said it. Doesn't look like I am confused or misquoting you.

    No, it clearly says FROM-from, not form. Unless you went hunting abroad in a different conversation and copied and pasted and really wasted a lot of time. Really, TFM? Stop!
