I've discussed before about the fraudulent credit card donations that the Obama campaign is currently receiving. Ed Morrissey at hotair.com puts it bluntly:
There is only one reason to deliberately choose to bypass those security processes, and that’s to facilitate fraud. Team Obama claims that they vet the donations after the fact, but that’s hogwash. It costs far more to do that than to screen for security codes and address verification up front, and everyone knows it. Obama counts on the fact that most of the fraud will fly under the radar of its victims, and the only cost they’ll incur is when they have to process refunds after getting a specific complaint.
This is a key, revelatory moment about Obama and his team. They have deliberately chosen to make it easier for people to defraud the public so that they can ring up millions more in a campaign that has already broken records for fundraising. It’s unethical, dishonest, and dangerous — especially since these will be the same people with their hands on tax records if Obama wins this election.
Anyone in a business that uses credit cards knows the dependency they have on credit card agencies doing their job. That business may be the store down the street or the person selling on ebay and using paypal. They depend heavily on credit cards weeding out the fraud.
Anyone with any business sense at all sees through this. Sure, the Obama campaign will return the money.....when they get caught red handed. But a) not checking addresses and security codes, and b) not listing their donors online like McCain does only adds 2 good reasons why the Obama campaign is in it for the money and the money alone.
Remember this desire for money as he talks about raising taxes. That raising of taxes won't stop at $250,000 of income....no, wait, now it's $200,000.....no, wait again, Biden says it's $150,000. I think I finally see a trend here......
