Obama is out there trying to buy the election – and not with the small donations of average Americans, but with the criminal donations from who knows where:
Barack Obama refuses to release the names of the 2 million-plus people who have given his campaign less than $200. According to campaign officials, it would be too difficult and time-consuming to extract this information from its database.
So how come we were able to do it in a couple hours? Not literally—we don’t have access to the campaign’s list of donors—but we created a database of similar size and format in a Web-ready file and posted it online. (You can view a sample text version of it here. The full version is 824 MB.)
But before we get into the technical details (though, if you’re with the Obama campaign and want to skip ahead, please do), it’s worth dwelling on the reasons for the Obama campaign’s reluctance to disclose this information. It can’t be legal: No law prevents Obama from releasing these names.
Politically, there would be several advantages in releasing the names. Obama has campaigned (effectively) on a platform of making government more transparent, citing his efforts to do so in Chicago and Washington as signature achievements. He has also disclosed the bundlers who raise large amounts of money for his campaign. Finally, making the list public would rebut McCain’s broad and unsubstantiated claims that the list (and the huge sums of money it represents) is shot through with fraud.
Which is why, of course, Obama won’t do it – his fundraising is shot through with fraud. So much so that in my opinion the Justice Department should initiate a Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization investigation into the Obama campaign. Certainly if Obama wins next week, we have to know how many criminal donations there have been and what role Obama played in setting up and maintaining this criminal conspiracy against the American electorate – because after Obama gets in, such investigations not only won’t happen, but anyone who brings such things up will be punished by Obama and his minions for daring to question The One.
Our liberal friends have been screaming for 8 years about imaginary threats to their freedom – but if Obama does manage to corruptly obtain the White House and remains un-challenged on it, then there will be no reason for him not to use the same tactics once in office…including the intimidation of media we’ve already seen in this campaign.
