After all the improprieties in the past by the GOP, and they're complaining?!

Fair enough, GOP, you go first here: Explain T. Boone Pickens' financing of the Swift Boat Vets!!!

How much did McCain's flunkies pay to get this thing going?Wonder where they got the money to cry in the ears of someone that might even simply ignore them instead of the ever increasing number of voters that are turning this election into a tidal wave for Obama.We've obviously heard all we need to from the McWhiners to turn this election into an avalanche that might bury the republicans for decades.

Thanks for your desperation.You turned this into a runaway with your vicious attacks,accusations and PALIN-GATE,TROOPERGATE ..WHATEVERGATE.The republicans will be shown the gate soon enough…..THANK GOD!

Folksy?What a joke!Palin is just a vicious ICEQUEEN.She should go hunting with Cheney as soon as possible.

The Republicans accusing the Dems of fund-raising irregularities? This is rich! Especially since Obama turned down government funding and is getting his money from people like me, i.e., people who WORK for a living. The McCainies and the Repubs are really full of it.

Hypocrites. You make things up to investigate Obama about when you won't even cooperate with investigations by legal authorities into Palin that were going on even before she was chosen VP.

Pathetic. It is only to bad that they can not do the audit and report back before the election so McCain/Palin can look even more desperate and erratic.

desperate desperate desperate…….whatelse you can McSame

Maybe Sen. Obama can pull a Bush/Cheney/Palin and refuse to cooperate with any and all investigations.

Better yet, maybe he can simply remind the taxpayers of the country who decided to finance his own campaign, and who decided to take govornment dollars. And how much money are we borrowing from foreign powers to keep our Federal Budget going?

Why hasn't Palin submitted her tax information?

Just sayin

I will be sending my 25.00 next friday because the issue matter to me. Mr. Mccain " I am drowning here, you are discribing the water"

A Maverick is a cattel hustler. For all you city folk, that means he steals the riches of his neighbors. Look it up. I do not want any more shoot from the hip cowboys in the white house. If this is how McCain treats a fellow senator just think how he will treat other figures around the world!

I will be sending my 25.00 before friday….

Uhhh, since when has the US Constitution included language banning foreign campaign contributions?

I just hope the FEC has a lot of monitors on the ground in FL, OH, MI, CO and other contentious states in the weeks leading up to the election… If RNC thugs were desperate enough to stuff ballot boxes, intimidate voters with misinformation about their rights, deny voting/ballot supplies to urban areas, and so on in 2004, I don't doubt that they will try to steal millions of votes again this year.

Now , I`ve seen everything …… Those wooden headed , Thieving ,Low-down republicrooks …… Mc Bush should produce his complete medical record , and let the public know wether or not he can satand the rigors of the presidency ….. The Old Coot !!
Old Mc Bush is trying to do everything in his power to change the subject away from the economy …. Next he`ll try to enter Cindy in another " Miss Buffalo Chip " contest …… Pitted against Sarah Palin…..

Obama needs to come clean and list all the names and addresses of his donors. This is serious. These illegal donation problems could sink him. Who is fraudulently giving money and what foreigners are buying an Obama presidency? And why would Obama let this happen? He should be able to afford some good web designers to prevent what has happened.

The democratic party can thank the RNC for my contribution. Yesterday I read this story, and last night I contributed another $100 to Obama's campaign. I've never contributed to a campaign before, and thought I'd only do it once, but after reading of all the sleezy republican crap again, I decided I'll do whatever it takes to get those guys out of office. Thanks for helping me make that decision, RNC!

What desperation! I'm sure these concerns stem more from the tactics of distraction than they do from concern for the American people. McCain doesnt give two craps abouts us, he's just mad he's losing on all fronts. Desperate, senile man.

If any donations are really suspicious, the Obama camp should just return it. There will be plenty of other donations rolling in as McCain loses what mind he has left. The great underlying fact in the article is that Obama has build a gigantic campaign all on small donations from the general public.

A lawsuit should be filed against the McCain /Palin ticket for defametion of chareachter

This only goes to show that we have not elevated our level of humanity and common decency. How on earth can you respect someone who spouts such base and vile comments about another simply to promote his/her ambitions?. This saddens me as much as I think it does others who hold themselves to higher ideals.

Since the government is falling down on the job regarding this, I commend the RNC for stepping in and demanding that it be done. This should have been done much sooner. McCain has been very open about the sources of his contributions, while the Obama campaign has, under one ruse or the next, been very secretive and balked at revealing their donor sources to public scrutiny.

I've often wondered how much of Obama's money comes from overseas, with special concern about "countries that don't like us very well," like some in the Middle East. Their leaders would most definitely like to see Obama be our next president!

McCain-Palin - 2008

SILVER BANK, SENATOR JOHN MCCAIN'S SON WAS CEO AND QUIT 2 MONTHS BEFORE IT FAILED AND INVESTORS LOST MILLIONS. WHY DIDN'T THE HONORABLE SENATOR JOHN MCCAIN WARN SILVER BANK INVESTORS OF IT'S FAILURE BEFORE THEY LOST THEIR MONEY?

If the Obama Campaign has accepted foreign money, then there needs to be accountability - someone needs to pay for this. I thought the Obama Campaign was NOT about politics as usual. This is rather sordid stuff in my book.

NOT THIS TIME…PLEASE, PLEASE DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THE SLIMEY POLITICS OF MCCAIN/ROVE!!!

McCain really is a one trick pony: nasty. Negativity will only demean his flailing campaign. The debate may well be too ugly to watch. Civility might be a nice change.

To all people on here (dennis from Chicago) that cant grasp the reality that Obama was born in America. It has been proven by every major news source (even Fox News, reluctantly I might add) that OBAMA WAS BORN IN HAWAII. Just because you wish something was false, doesnt make it false. There are opinions and facts. You can have your own opinions, but you cant make up your own facts.

I smell stunt.

Let's get the truth on McCain's advisor's $15 THOUSAND dollars per MONTH from Freddie Mac.

Let's get that, shall we?

Pathetic.

Trying to come up with a smear. Simple as that.

This party is ethically lost and morally bankrupt.

I pity those who still support it.

Dennis from Chicago

Still trying to push that Obama isnt an American, huh? Are you naive or just stupid. It has already been proven by every news source ( even your personal favorite Fox News) that Obama WAS BORN IN HAWAII. Now, Im not sure why you cant grasp this reality, but I think you either need to grow up or smarten up. Im not sure which one. Hopefully the former, but probably the ladder. It saddens me to know that we still have a long way to go, to rid this world of all the people like Dennis out there. Some people are just way to ignorant for the 21st century.

The McCain/palin ticket can't come up with real solutions, so they come up with this BS. Their jealousy is so "transparent".

dennis, give it a rest–

The facts have been checked over and over and over.
The Republicans are in big trouble so this is how they address the issues? Nice!

OhioGirl–

Over half the money is unaccounted for?
I'm going to guess that the records will not show that. I know that every time I have contributed they get all kinds of specific information from me. Sure, there may be some money from overseas just like McCain had but your argument has been sitting on these blogs for months and no one has yet to show any evidence.

McCain is going to have to raid his wife's piggy bank again if Obama keeps raising more money than him.

I hate when rich people like McCain try to tell us how much the economic turn-down hurts. He buys more houses and cars than he can keep track of, while we're budgeting to buy groceries.

Nice backfire on Mac, finally the FEC is working.

dennis from chicago
———————————————————————————————–

Still trying to push that Obama is not American. Are you naive or just stupid. It has already been proven by multiple sources (including your favorite station Fox News) that Obama was born in Hawaii. So, either you need to grow up or smarten up, Im not sure which one. Hopefully the former, but probably the ladder. Dennis just go vote for the white guy because that is what you were going to do anyway. Obama wasnt born in America. Man, some people are just way to ignorant for the 21st century.

It's about time someone looked into all the Obama contributions coming from Islamic countries and terrorist networks. They would love to see us elect a president who is all talk and no action, especially if he also owes them. After 9/11, I never thought I would actually see us elect a president who is bought and paid for by Islamic extremists. I also thought the Republican rhetoric was over the top, but I guess we will actually be fighting them here at home. Good luck with that America.

To OhioGirl82:

Can you point to which Article or section of the US Constitution "specifically forbids" foreign support? Or is your knowledge of the Constitution as extensive as Pallin's?

The GOP is also starting voter challenges. The are trying deny people the right to vote based on address changes and other tactics

Is this a 3rd world country with voter intimidation or the United States?

Look I am an independant and I am still undecided, but these boards really are nasty. So why is everyone on here freaking out. So if it is true nobody should audit the funds? If it's not true why do you care. He will be vindicated and Mcain will look even more desperate….

Just sayin

Looks like we can't trust either of them.

Google "Votepact"

Palin has promoted oil and natural gas resource development in Alaska, including in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR). She has opposed federal listing of the polar bear as an endangered species warning that it would adversely affect energy development in Alaska. She has also opposed the designation of the Cook Inlet beluga whale as an endangered species and has supported the hunting of wolves by low flying air planes. Palin does not believe that global warming is human-caused.

Palin's foreign policy positions were unclear at the time she was picked as McCain's running mate. When asked for her views about troop escalations in Iraq, she replied "…while I support our president, Condoleezza Rice and the administration, I want to know that we have an exit plan in place.

In her nomination acceptance speech, and later on the campaign trail, Palin said: "I told the Congress 'thanks, but no thanks,' for that Bridge to Nowhere. McCain-Palin television advertisements also claim Palin "stopped the Bridge to Nowhere. Newsweek has deemed Palin's position "an astonishing pivot…. Now she talks as if she always opposed the funding.

This is the first time we have donated to a Presidential Campaign.

We did it four times for Obama.

If we could we would do more, much more.

I am ashamed at the nastiness of the McCain Camp, after he said it so LOUD AND CLEAR that he would run a CLEAN campaign.

So much for his unruly tongue. I could have felt bad for Sarah Palin, but with her seductive winks and lying tongue, she defies what she supposedly stands for. OBAMA—– keep firing back . God Bless You and your family . Ignore the Sleaze from the RNC, they're desperate. Children play cleaner games than they are trying to do. We are not stupid out here, we can spot" phony "a mile away.

John McCain should suspend his campaign again because it's about to crater.

who is palin? she is a woman who
rule by arrogant and if people dont do what she said she turn on them like how she use her power to fire her brother in law and the comissioner in alaska, as a
woman and a mother i want to let palin know that she cant take that kind of attitude to the white house, and i hope very soon that the investigation about her in alaska will soon come to light so people can see the real palin.

Just a thought…could the "good will" contributor have been an imposter from the RNC who planned this all along. If I wanted to interupt a winning campaign, this is how I would do it.

Think about it.

It's about time someone looked into all the Obama contributions coming from Islamic countries and terrorist networks. They would love to have a president who is all talk and no action, especially if he also owes them. After 9/11, I never thought we would actually elect a president who is bought and paid for by Islamic extremists. Good luck with that America. I thought the Republican rhetoric was over the top, but I guess we will actually be fighting them at home.

Wouldn't be surprised if the re pubs made questionable donations to try to rig this from the beginning.

It's getting ugly out their in McFantasy land. Keep your eye on the MooseBurglar.

Terrorist: An individual who uses violence, terror, and intimidation to achieve a result.

Who's the real terrorist? GOP.

Mccain is just a sorry old man…..he needs to retire from public office
and go and be a jerk somewhere else.
We don't need smarmy, condescending,ignorant, lying and a sexist…..how does Sarah think she got the job!!!!!!
JUST GO AWAY McCAIN/PALIN NOBODY WANTS TO SEE OR HEAR FROM YOU ANYMORE!!!!!

Not GOP Party! Grasping at everything and anything! Here's an idea how about help your party find solutions to a devasted economy.

Indep. voting Obama/Biden

Our country needs someone that can be in control and not be a puppet jumping all over the place!

Give it up man we the Anerican people are smater that these stupid distractions and scare tactics. Lets talk about something on the economy, healthcare, mortgage crisis and the high cost of gas. That is my concern at this point.

Hey Donna, are you an idiot? McCain's didn't accept public funding. He did it the fair way. Obama backed out of that promise and lied to the American people.

If it turns out that even a small amount of Obama's funds had been from foreign companies, and Obama did nothing until called out on it (unlike McCain, who preemptively returned the money), the ethics of Obama and his campaign would have reached an unforgivable point for me.

A bunch of us volunteers in Central Florida hit the streets again today, making sure everyone who wants to vote gets their Voter Registration Application into Campaign Headquarters by midnight tonight. Obama supporters are asking when is the soonest they can vote early, and how can they contribute a few dollars to the campaign?
This is really exciting stuff, people!

Obama will do whatever it takes to win. I cannot believe how his supporters look the other way on everything. Obama has contributors with names like Mr. Good Will (giving $13,000+ by the way.)

Do you know who Obama is? I hope you find out before it is too late. Make an informed decision instead of following the crowd.

NOBAMA, he is a terriost in my opinino, lord help our country if he gets elected . I believe he is the anti christ and wants to take over America, Better collect your guns and money the bad guys are coming. Pray for McCain/Palin to win..

Is there any Independants on this site or just angry Democrats.

dennis from chicago
You are a moron, do you know that?

Democrat voting McCain a man who seems trustworthy.

"while no organization is completely protected from internet fraud"

I love how Obama's camp caveats this statement. I am going to be laughing so hard at the liberals when Obama is crushed November 4th.

There is no way Obama is going to win this election.

It is hilarious how you liberals think he is going to win.

John McCain has nothing to hide in his long history serving our country. You gloss over Rev Wright, Ayers, Rezko, and countless other questionable ties that Obama has in his past.

Barack Obama has done NOTHING for America. Absolutely nothing.

Read his voting record. Present or in cohorts with the most liberal agenda in the Senate.

John McCain has reached across the aisle many many many times. Obama has done so ONCE. His campaign can only say ONE time. I suppose that is enough if you are a flaming liberal hypocrite who wants America to be turned into a socialistic country.

Please keep Pelosi and Obama to yourselves. Even if McCain is elected, he will serve out one term and it will be HIllary vs Palin in 2012.

Read it and weep liberals. You've got nothing on November 4th.

Not only is the Republican ticket an absolute mess, they are becoming more and more pathetic.

There's nothing that is below the GOP to do. Expect lots of lawsuits should Obama win Nov. 4th. Slimeballs.

What will they complain about next?!!?. The Republicans remind me of my 4 year old grandchild who didn't get the piece of cake he wanted.

Let's see McCain's contributions.

A Maverick is a cattel hustler. For all you city folk, that means he steals the riches of his neighbors. Look it up.

What a pack of fools!!

OhioGirl82

McCain did receive money from forgein nationals and had to return 1.2 million. There is uncertanity if McCain returned the money.

I think it is so sad that McCain has traded his honor for the promise of power. He had so much more dignity and public respect before he started his attack campaign - is this the legacy he wants to leave behind? From hero to zero - truly I am sad for him and his children.

Now the Republicans want an investigation into finances!!. Too bad they didn't investigate their own, we wouldn't have the disaster on Wall Street we have today. DUH!!!

VOTE OBAMA/BIDEN

Obama = $405M+ (Unlimited)

McCain = $84M (Federally Limited)

Shoulda decided against public funds, McCrypt!

O-JOE '08!

All I have to say to John McCain and Sarah Palin is, if something bad happens to Obama or his family because of these racial and evil accusations they are making is, you want to run for cover and you better dig a deep hole to hide in. Because no place on earth will be safe for you.No street or state will protect you with the reprocushions that will follow. Not even God himslef will protect you from the wrath of the people who with hunt you down like the rats you are.

The left wing nut jobbers are out in ful force…

If your boy's clean, what's the worry?

Of course the rnc is squawking - this is all out desperation. Just another Hail Mary attempt - all part of their puzzle - all part of the game to paint Obama as a terrorist, different, scary - oh, and by the way, he's black.

It's kind of late in the game for this nonsense, but if you can't run on the issues you run from them with phoney distractions like this.

Too bad the Republicans didn't investigate their own instead of Obama. If they had, we wouldn't have the disaster on Wall Street. DUH!!!!!

OBAMA/BIDEN

The Republicans are so desperate that they will do anything and say anything to drawn attention away from our economy. McCain and Palin don't have a clue. Sling some more mud. What a pair of idiots!!

Has "WOW W OW WOW" (or whatever its name is) retired?

I miss its stupid comments!!!

BOO FREAKIN HOO.

ALL YOU REPUBLICANS MAKE ME WANT TO PUKE!
YOU ALL THINK YOU ARE SO GREAT.
YOU HAVE DESTROYED THE COUNTRY.

SLEEP WELL.

Why is this FEC probe such bad news Obama supoorters? Let them take a look, I 'M SURE they won't find anything.

Caïn is jealous

Once again, the Republican party wants to turn the attention away from the economy….something they know nothing about…obviously.
VOTE OBAMA for a new direction.

"W" = WORST EVER

"McW" = Worst runner-up EVER ! !

The Party of Nixon/Watergate must be desperate if they are going to raise campaign finance issues!

Dennis in Chicago,

Glad that you brought up case # 08-cv-04083. I don't think people want to know about this, they rather look the other way. This will be very interesting to see!

"Terrorist" + "Palling around with terrorist pals + Rev. Wright+ questioning funds + go negative rather than talk about issues-"If we talk about issues, we lose" = DESPERATE

Remember how John McCain thought this was going to be a campaign filled with humor? "All we're doing is having some fun here," he said about the Paris Hilton ad. THAT was in indication of the MANY missteps he would make along the road to defeat.

Come on, John…..we want the old smiling John back!!!! And remember, you can tell the true measure of a man by how he takes defeat.

SMILE,John ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

It's about time! Obama was using my name as a supporter until I personally contacted his campaign and requested that they cease and desist. There's no telling how much was donated under other people's names. Obama is a crook and you people will regret the day you ever fell for his phoney baloney!

Time to donate more! Go Obama/Biden. Do you think mCain can win and that they will get an audit before Nov 4th. NOT. The United States is turning BLUE & PURPLE real fast!

To OhioGirl82:

McCain had to return hundreds of thousands of dollars because there WERE foreign nationals contributing to his campaign.

indy chris (above) is a funny dude.

Jealousy, desperation, bad judgement, cheating, lies-
you pathetic old fool and brainless moose
McShame & MsMoran
They are putting themselves first
American Vote for Obama / Biden

It would be so nice if the Republicans could resist gimmicks like this.

Turn the other cheek Obama. Let these fake Christians sling all the mud they want. WWJS. Who would Jesus smear???? Obama is a true Christian and he's above this evil. Sarah Palin is no Christian.

How come the GOP is just now doing this? Why didn't they say anything earlier in the election? It's because they're scrambling for something - just one thing - to try to swing it their way. And it's not going to happen. Next thing you know, they'll be challenging for a revote on Nov. 4.

O/08

So, just how much did John McCain's buddy Keating (of Keating 5 fame….where John was one of the 5) help raise for McCain this year? $50,000. Man McCain just can't seem to help himself.

Anything to distract attention away from the pressing issues that is grappling this country! These people will say and do anything to get elected. What a shame! They have already robbed this country of its resources- trillion $ for the War of choice + billions for years to come (not counting priceless lives lost); 4 trillion $ added to the national debt; largest increase in discretionary spending; and to top it all off, bankrupt the economy with their reckless deregulatory policies over the years while allowing greedy CEOs to get away with fat golden parachutes. Not to mention, all of this charged to the giant credit card called 'China' for our children and grandchildren to pay off for decades to come. But what amazes me is that they think the American people are stupid enough to buy all this bull they are throwing at us. I am sure there are some who will fall for this Houdini smokescreen but majority of Americans are smarter than that.

too unknown and too non-transparent!

A lot of this economic meltdown lies at the feet of the conservative media. Their spreading of Republican lies and attacks can be directly attributed to the election of Bush and the last eight years of our country's decline in our economy, military and standing in the world.

Rush Limbaugh alone had a 400 million dollar deal for the next eight years.

THIS NEEDS TO STOP or the Republicans will be right back in power asap.

We the people need to BOYCOTT all the sponsers of this cancer on our country.

Just another desperate major on behalf of a sinking ship.

get over it people… obama doesn't have the balls to fight back. She has the heels on and the gloves off!!!!! Show 'em the pearly whites PALIN!

They just can not believe the average joe sixpack actually donates to Obama or just trying to throw a wrench into the Obama momentum.

Just hope they look into MCcains ….he has all those rich repubs and Wall st on his side. And Donald Trump. Yeah , if I were a multi millionaire I might want all those tax breaks too!

But it would be hard to keep up with what everyone donates and from where! So just hope they are on top of it! Cuz you know they will dig .

If there's an auditof Obama's financial contributors, the RNC will be green with envy because they'll find donations from millions of people like me. In my whole life I have never contributed a dime to a political campaign before. But this yearI have been so inspired by Obama's message of hope that I have contributed $75 to his campaign, and as soon as I finish writing this message, I'm contributing another $25. And for anyone who cares to know, I'm a disabled woman on a fixed income.

The RNC should know all about illegal contributions, ask Senator Stevens in Alaska. Or all of the other staffers, congressional members, aides, lawyers, and lobbyists who are in prison right now.

Funny…

Do you want to elect someone worse than Bush? Elect McCain! In 2000 primaries Republicans preferred Bush because they considered McCain worse! Does McGain expect that Republications will now vote for him, who had been rejected in favour of Bush?

Palin will be a footnote to this campaign. She will lose the Governorship of Alaska after she is found guilty of abuse of power. Enjoy her now. Because after November we'll not hear of her again. Thank God.

After hearing Palin comments today and a remark asking someone to kill Mr. Obama. The Republican Campaign is and will be responsible for any harm to the Obama family.

What is HOMELAND SECURITY GOING TO DO ABOUT IT…TREATHs are TREATHS!

A police officer making racist comments…A POLICE OFFICER in his uniform, how disgusting….how can citizens of this country take such treatment, he should be FIRED for making such remarks.

this is funny, this is pity, this is sad for america, mccain will do anything, it sad, this is country first i guess

McShame is at it again. Palin failin needs to go back to her hockey
mon's camp. Let us not forget Troopergate.

Sounds like Desperation.

when millions of people come forward to help, opposite party (here mcsame)is likely to take a chance. in course of audit, it should be examined in depth whether such contributor(s), if there is/are any, are planted by RNC. don't forget, they have watergate record. they have rove around them. (a man is known by the company he keeps.)
azad, new york.

Now OBAMA is a terrorist pal, he gets donations from foriegners for his campaign…ha! ha!….for the first time the tide has really turned against you morons….that is the Hand of God working miracles.
OBAMA is a Mystic Warrior and will survive.

We are contributing to Obama, we have not even reach the threshold for the primary contributions, so we will gve some more tonight. The Lobbyist days are numbered, no more Keating Five.

The "foreign national contributions" that McCain and the Republicans are kvetching about are a bunch of tee-shirts ordered throught the internet by two guys in Palestine. This, like every other ridiculous desperate tactic from the McCain campaign, will amount to nothing.

This is just another attack at character by the GOP to avoid the real issues.

The world cannot afford to watch the US crumble under another 4 years of Republican rule; as a result, they have a right and possibly a responsibility to help fund Obama's campaign.

What a load of crap.

The McSame campaign knows perfectly well that this can't be done in the next 29 days. All they are after is the little dab of publicity that comes along with the request.

Bad timing though. Making the request the same day that the Dow closes below 10,000 kind of get you lost in the weeds.

The desperation is positively oozing from every pore of the McSame organization.

Can you spell D E S P A R A T I O N?

The last straw. When this comes to be false that the Obama Campaign is doing the right things, then McPalin is done. It would be time for retirement.

This is the ulitimate bottom of the barrell. Stick a fork in them they are done.

Hey OhioGirl82,

"P.S. All the ugly name-calling by people who can't spell and who can't put together a reasonably correct sentence speaks volumes."

sounds like your VP- Sarah McPalin. Must make you proud.

I am the real negative… Vote for Borack Obama…
But! She's so Beautul, she's so Kind and Free… She all the World to me,,,,, She's so kind and free, she's all the the World to me….Sarah Palin…
Barack Obama??? He's a Bigot…. A women is just another Tool to him….

The issue is not which money comes from where. Obama has lied - he has chosen to say no lobbyists, no corporate support, all small donations.

A ridiulous claim that is now finally being questioned. He made the claim - let him defend it now that we know he takes big bucks from Oil, Finance, Insurnace and other corporate sources.

If you say you can walk on water then you better show us!

The RNC is looking for their fat cats who have changed sides!

I find it very suspicious that the RNC wants an investigation into Obama's campaign fund. And that little slander about "foreign nationals" is just more of the same old fear tactic about Obama's allegiances.

I just hope that the people who count–those who have to vote to gain the electoral vote count–will see this for what it is. Another desperate attempt to win on slime instead of merit. VOTE OBAMA!!!

It's the economy, STUPID, not contributions to Obama's campaign. Focus on what is important to those of us who will be voting!!!!!

Desperate actions by desperate people. Swift boating isn't working this time???

Demcracts and Republicans= dumb and dumber

GO AHEAD AND ARGUE ABOUT WHO IS DUMBER!!!

Just imagine if McCain gets this mad over losing in the polls that he has to start pulling all these horrible stunts. Think about what he would do as President and another country made him mad. We would be at war with the whole world. Not what we need

Give it a rest, RNC. It's behavior like this that are driving independents and even Republicans away in droves.

I think the Republicans are starting to see they aren't going to win because they Americans aren't being fooled this election.

when millions of people come forward to help, opposite party is like to take a chance. in course of audit, it should be examined in depth whether such contributor(s), if there is/are any, are planted by RNC. they have watergate record. they have rove around them.
azad, new york.

That's fine — but, let's take a look at BOTH campaigns!

Cripes, I get a donation request at least twice a day from Obama's campaign! No wonder he gets the bucks. I have contributed a couple of times. However, it is amazing that he gets people to continue to contribute and I think he hits enough people with small amounts a couple of times. I don think he NEEDS foreign money. Maybe some slipped through but McCain may have the same problem.

McCain seem to be forgetting that today, we all have access to independent research and can track down facts. The only people these type of smear will influence are the Sara Palin crowd that do not read the news paper and just co-opt other peoples (FOX NEWS) talking point and make it their own.
Give it a rest McCain. Tell us what you will do for the country not Who Obama's acquaintances are.

God, you can just hear the loud sucking noise under the McCain/Palin campaign as they get flushed. Although I suppose it's not suprising they're fighting reality every step of the way. They know they're finished, so rather than taking the high road, they'll try to drag Obama and Biden down to their level.

Enjoy retirement, John. Enjoy grandmotherhood, Sarah.

ok and how much tax payer money will it take to investigate all of these, just so maybe you can say , look look. repubs just wasting more tax dollars to win at any cost, even ours.

Say goodnight, John!

Just want to thank the Obama campaign personnel for the way that they have run this campaign. Every election year, I would get so sick and tired of hearing the "smears" from the candidates.

It is sad, but it appears that Americans like that sort of thing back then, but it is a new kind of voter out there this time and I am happy that they don't like this kind of thing going on. Let's stick to what is important and that is, "how to get this country's economy going again".

Also, it is time that we punish those that are greedy for filthy lucre at the expense of others. These CEOs need to bite the bullet for their part in what is happening on Wall Street and Main street today.

These "FAT CATS" need to be made to "eat some pork"! Instead of causing the average worker to now begin to kill their families and themselves for the economic failures that have cost them everything.

So you finally leave one door open????""
The Real Super-star of the 20th Centrury…Hsrry Webb? AKA Cliff Ritchard's?? You should welcome this Fenonomion….
Your missing out…. My?????????????????????

Now Obama Campaign can request where McCains donations come from.

Obama-community organizer…nothing more, nothing less except for the fact that he is over qualified to be president of France or Sweden or Kenya…..

Dennis from Chicago — Hey, Obama was born in HAWAII. It's a state. You can find it on a map. Go look.

As an outsider looking in…..and very close to Alaska….the only choice and best choice for America is Obama!
Integrity, truth, knowledge, empathy, life experience and being in touch are true traits of not only a good man, but a great leader and president!

A man killed his mother in law, his wife, and his three sons and then killed himself because he couldnt find a job. He had an MBA in Finance. Talk about this crisis and how its tearing us apart and not petty smear tactics. You republicans make me sick you are garbage and racist.

Thank you Mr McCain and Mrs Palin for showing the choice for this election is crystal clear!
Anyone supporting your party and it's condescension and sleazy politics is in serious need of a good shaking!
And they call themselves the Christian party? From Hagee, Dobson, and the rest of you hypocrites……PATHETIC AND DELUSIONAL!
My vote is steadfast and unshakable for the only man of integrity, knowledge and truth in this election! BARACK OBAMA!!!

Obama/Biden 08

OhioGirl82,

I wasn't aware the Constitution specifically mentioned campaign financing.

In regard to your comment about spelling and grammar - perhaps that is what happens when the current Republican administration tinkers with the education system and takes it in the wrong direction.

Obama is a cheat and those who support him here blindly are the ones are in the tank with him. Barack Obama got lot of money from Saudi and may be even from radicals in Pakistan. They must investigate and find the real truth.

I ask every Muslim to vote for Obama and give money To Obama, He is only hope Muslim people have.

Winner by Knock Out . Obama . Paline go back to Alaska .

I think the RNC is scared because Obama is matching or beating their fundraising which is something they are definitely not used to! Another report said that the RNC/McCain/Palin campaign were relying on media reports - the same media they claim are biased against them.

McCain and Palin should ask themselves who the people of this country really want. Obama is raising all this money from ordinary citizens NOT lobbyists or PACs as McCain and Palin are.

If Obama is audited then McCain should also be audited too.

grabbing. at. straws. on. thier. way. DOWN.

Hahaha. This is so funny. So, the FEC sent a complaint to the McCain campaign on Sept. 30th, a WEEK before the RNC wants to try to bring Obama down with the same crap. This is a load of crap. The Republicans know they can't win. Wake up everyone!

here goes mcsenile doing what his teachers Limbaugh and Rove said he would do

the two big fat men who love to hate and who get paid to spread hate, animosity and for being racist in public, announced that this is what mcsame needs to do to divert attention from the real issue : the economy.

he can do all he want to do, he wont get anywhere, the more negative he goes the worse it gets.

oh boy old boy, old mcbush,

no more mcbush.

McCain campaign desperate right now and unless a miracle happens to turn things around, there is no way people are going to subscribe to these desperate tactics. Mind you, 60% of American believe in the possibility of a recession and RNC now files a complaint, what a distraction! It simply will not work this time round.

We're a bunch of self-entitled crybabies, who whine and complain and fight dirty and throw a hissy fit when we don't get our way. What did you expect? Don't like it? Stop whining on a CNN comment board, and get out there and do something about it - you have less than 30 days until America gets to vote on this, and decide who runs the country and who goes home a loser.

Are you going to support the only candidate left in the race to show a shred of common sense and decency? Or are you going to let an angry, erratic, vengeful old man, and his flat-out dumb sidekick caribou barbie run the country?

McCain is loosing election and loosing Heaven. Let's the stupid girl to talk: the more she talks the bigger Obama's advantage. She can memorize whole paragraphs, give her credit for this, but she doesn't have human brain and soul. Is she a human being? What about aliens in Alaska? Did the Republican party created shameless artificial intellect?

Just heard McCain is going to cut Medicare. Isn't this just great.

McCain is becoming the ugly american for all the world to see…

Amen, Malcom! I was so offended when during the RNC, Guiliani and Palin mocked Sen. Obama for being a "community organizer." McShame and Failin' Palin: Who's crying now? You two are not worthy to lead this country - especially if you cannot see the value and honor in being a "community organizer."

Okay, enough is enough. When McCain's campaign incites folks to cry "kill him!" it is time for McCain to apply the brakes.

CNN - it is up to you and the rest of the media to make McCain stop before some nut case goes out and does it.

Just in: McCain is planning on cutting MEDICARE AND MEDICADE by one TRILLION dollars!!!! Whaaaaaaattttttt!!! His is really trying to just kill his campaign. I really think John McCain is now stumping for Barrack Obama.

EVERYONE please let all of you senior citizen family and friends know what McCain and the horrible excuse for a vp are saying. It seemed that Obama might not get the senior citizen vote. Looks like things are changing.

GO OBAMA/BIDEN!!!!!!!

This is called "desperation". I am a 64 year old white woman and never in all my years have I seen such a sleezy campaign as the one McCain is running. Just a few months ago, he said Americans don't want sleezy campaigns and he wouldn't run one. HELLO! What does he think he's doing. I for one am not fallling for it. I watched both candidates, I listened to the answers they gave on "important questions" before I decided who I would vote for. Now, I am more sure than ever that my vote will be for Senator Obama. As for Sarah Palin, she is a disgrace to womanhood. She is allowing herself to be used in an inappropriate manner. She is 44 years old, she should start acting like it instead of winking,nodding, and acting childlike. For God's sake woman, answer a question would you please!!!

GOP stop it! Really, seriously, stop it. Can't you people understand that our country is hurting and we need help. Also, the country does not belong to you. We citizens have a right to choose who represents us without interference. Besides, would McCain/Palin be able to stand up under this kind of scrutiny if the Obama camp decides to have McCain's donors and sources investigated. Can be please stop this stupid Republican trickery and get on with seeing who can repair or country. Hint: it ain't the GOP.

It is pathetic what John McCain is trying to do to Obama.

He's been at the receiving end in 2000. Looks like he forgot.

It is really entertaining to see even the dimwitted Sarah Palin saying things now. Shouldn't she be worried about her own ongoing ethics investigation.

No one is buying this McCain BS this election.

If McCain gets elected, its a disgrace for the nation. Haven't we got enough by electing a dimwit twice. Do we want another bonehead in the whitehouse.

McCain has always provided information on donors to the FEC. Obama has refused. The "Washington Post questions" are of a very different ilk.

While it appears some posters are thrilled to have foreign nationals supporting Obama, the Constitution of the United States of America specifically forbids it. Cool or not — it is illegal.

If this were about a small percentage of his monies, this would be a non-issue. Over half of the money raised is not accounted for. The Obama campaign has been asked for this info starting in June. Why the delay? If there is nothing to hide — if the campaign does not have lots of foreign nationals contributing — why not share? Hillary did. McCain did. Romney did. Everyone but Obama. How odd……

P.S. All the ugly name-calling by people who can't spell and who can't put together a reasonably correct sentence speaks volumes.

Boo hoo McCain, cry me a river of your ancient tears

McInsame and PalinFailin are toast. Done. Finished. Sling all the mud you want. And "Dog gone it!" I bet the Republicans will. Same old same from John McCain.

Obama/Biden ALL the Way. America can't wait to get to the polls!

Oh, here we go with this crap. These idiots need to give it a rest or no one will be voting for the disgustingly desperate McCain/Palin ticket.

AMERICA: Free us from these morons!

Another erratic behaviour from the Mcinsane camp.

dennis from chicago . . . Please engage your brain PRIOR to typing.

That was the most ignorant comment yet and there have been some real idiots posting here.

What has Sarah Palin said, if anything that was'nt hand fed to her, other than the same old lines over and over. I have not heard anything yet.

I was a Republican. After hearing Palin comments today. An a remark asking someone to kill Mr. Obama. Mccain and Fox News responsible for any harm to the Obama family. It's a sin to kill . An if God is on your side. You would not be worried about becoming the next President. Changing my vote. Good luck Mr. OBAMA and may God bless you.

Some of McCain's cabinet..

George W. Bush
George Bush Sr.
Keating 5 Himself included
Saddam, Noriega, Qaddafi, Bin Laden's Family
Newt G, AIG, SAVINGS AND LOAN, FREDDIE MAC, FANNIE MAE
SARAH PALIN ( Cheated on husband!! Pastor believes in witches and her church believes in cellphone confession)

Get a life you yuppies.

O'BAMA BIDEN 08-16

Desperate measures from desperate, petty people…

Has ANYONE seen the John McCain of 2000?

Obama 2008!!! A TRUE man of HONOR!

McCain is a DISGRACE to himself and OUR country!

These people make me sick. I want this party in the trash heap along with the Whigs and the Federalist parties. They have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO RUN ON.

We all saw the conventions. It was like night and day. This is what this party is all about: hypocrisy, self-righteousness, deceit, lying, corrupt, angry, vengeful, ignorance, stupidity, and cowardice. This is the republican party in a nut shell, which is the characteristics of its presidential candidate.

After hoisting Bush and co. on us and the world, they need to pay with a landslide in all 50 states — total washout.

I have never been more prouder to vote than when I cast my ballot for Obama and Biden. Both guys make me proud as persons of faith, character, inspiration, love, and intelligence, as demonstrated by this incredibly grueling campaign.

Obama/Bien 2008/2012.

Ever been audited? Auditors will always find a bone of contention; the more money involved, the bigger the bone. While the RNC is undoubtedly right, it is unacceptably racist to stereotype Barack Obama as having a big bone.

LATEST 'McCAIN/GOP' DIVERSION HAS THREE GOALS . . .

(1.) Force the Obama-Biden campaign to use limited resources in preparation for an extensive time consuming audit of their 1.5-million donors,

(2.) Allow McCain's campaign some breathing room to execute a few shenanigans while the FEC is misdirected,

(3.) And finally, this is more nuts & bolts McCain is throwing into the Obama-Biden well-oiled machine with hopes that it will stop the Obama-Biden engine.

They're using every trick in Karl Rove sleazey politics book. Where's your character now John????????

When they investigate, they will find my measley 10 dollar contribution. It was and is all I can afford to spare right now and I wanted him to have it. I have a feeling there are a lot of contributions like mine, maybe not as small, but a lot of people sending what they can afford to help him get elected to save our Country. Obama/Biden 08 and 12!

John McCain is trying every Karl Rove trick in the book. A true sign of desperation? Where is all that character John???????

RNC hoping by baseless claims they will manage to affix another slanderous label to Obama.

Clearly they realize they can't win on the issues.

Wow, the Republican hate machine is full steam ahead - and losing parts every day. Just another daily affirmation that McPalin's campaign has spun delightfully out of control.

He can't come up with any actual specifics about what he'll do to fix the country, so slime baby slime.

McCain = Joke.

Obama/Biden 08/12

I suppose the BO camp will cry that it's racism that the RNC is calling BO on his corrupt ways?

The negativeness of the McCain/Palin campaign clearly shows that they are not responsible people to become President/VP of the USA. McCain today called Obama a liar, Palin brings up he's a terrorist, and now investigating campaign funds clearly showed me that I need to vote for Obama. I am against this negativeness and downright lies from the McCain/Palin group. No more McBush, no more tweety-bird Palin.

CNN, you suck and your moderators censor comments! With MSNBC taking over your turf as the "liberal" media, you're trying your hardest to attract conservatives from Fox. Not gonna happen!!

McCain cannot get over the fact that its the AMERICANS who are on Obama's side because we NEED change and we are NOT going to get it from McCain. McCain wants to "turn the page" on the economy because he doesn't have a clue. Remember this is a man who owns more houses that he's aware of. Does he relate to th
