Reflecting from Mark Levin’s sobering post and as Gatewaypundit wonders about campaign donation fraud on Obama’s website, I have to wonder about the potential fraud on Obama’s campaign donor site.

I wonder why Nigeria, the most corrupt country well known for scams and credit card fraud, is 5th in foreign country visitors to Obama’s Website. Its unusual because Nigeria is ranked higher than China, France, Spain, Italy, Japan, and a bunch of other more populated countries. Nigeria is well known for pulling scams and credit card fraud. There was already $630K seized in Nigeria that was raised for the Obama campaign.

Is there a huge scam eminating from Nigeria???

Who knows, but obama intentionally turning off its Address Verification System opens its site up to enormous fraud. With the media failing to do any investigations, we may never know. Basically, anybody anywhere can donate to the site and put a false address. Anybody can! Anybody can do it multiple times. What does this say about how Obama would handle National Security if he became president.

This is probably the biggest fraud opening in US history.

It is appalling that a US Presidential campaign does not put necessary safeguards to protect it from foreign influence.

It does not take that many users to make multiple donations that would add up to millions of dollars. Who knows, it could be like a sweatshop where people in foreign countries are just donating constantly. There are other countries at the top (like India and Iran). The 5th ranking is only by users, so each user can be visiting the site thousands of times.

The point is we the people of th USA have no clue what is going on with the donations to the Obama site. They have not provided any transparency to donations under $200. Even donations above $200, we have no clue if the donors are false. Turning off Address Verification means someone from Nigeria can donate $2K and put a normal name John Smith from Cleveland, Ohio, and noone would know it was from another country. That same donor can then donate another $2K and put a different name and pass under the FEC radar.

There is no transparency. This is a potential huge fraud the Obama campaign is pulling, and the kool-aid media does not care. The media has utterly failed the American people.

Now that it looks like McCain is going to stick to the “Keeping Your Wealth” theme, we need to come up with a supporting message to contrast Obama’s position. I think this is a great message:

“Obama’s Redistribution Plan: Cutting Income and Jobs of 95% of Americans”.

Other variant messages can be “Spreading Your Wealth”, “Cutting Your Wealth”, or “Spending Your Wealth”.

While he claims he is cutting taxes to 95% of American, his tax plans on businesses and capital gains will really cut income and jobs for 95% of Americans. Business will have to cut expenses in response to increased taxes and they will do that by cutting jobs and/or reducing salaries.

So, its a Net Income and Job cut plan. Whenever Obama or his supporters mention he is cutting income taxes for 95% of Americans, we can respond with a “No, he is cutting income and jobs for 95% of Americans”.

From now on, we should focus on supporting this McCain is “Keeping Your Wealth” and Obama is “Cutting Your Wealth” message.

NYTimes is doing their biased reporting as usual. Fortunately, they are running out of cash. Especially with a credit freeze, they can tank into bankruptcy very easily.

I think we collectively have to try to get everyone on the same response message. Whenever Palin’s clothing spend is mentioned, we should respond with “Much worse and relevant is the $800K Obama spent for Acorn Fraud.” The key words are “$800K” and “Acorn Fraud”.

All the surrogates and supporters are scatter gunning responses. McCain’s response was lame in saying it will all be donated to charity. The “$800K Acorn Fraud” pivots and puts the attention back on Obama.

Like my previous post, it is irritating that the McCain campaign is so incompetent in responding. Obama’s campaign always shifts the attention to the other side. When they are attacked on fraudulent contributions, they always put it back that the McCain campaign has the same trouble. Even if Obama’s contributions are much more fraudulent, it gives the impression of equality on both sides.

I’m puzzled why the McCain campaign doesn’t know this simple tactic of reframing. It could be too late, but there were so many missed reframing opportunities.

The incompetency of the McCain campaign is getting really irritating.

First, they can’t stick to one clear message and then frame everything to support it. They use a scatter gun approach.

Second, they have no ability to respond to or reframe attacks on them. They do not have one clear response to any attacks nor seem to tell their surrogates any talking points. Every time a senior campaign person is on television, they seem to just say the first thing that comes out of their head and don’t come with a battle plan on what message the hammer home (see any of Nicole Wallace or the other Pf lady).

This lame $150K clothing hit on Palin has pretty much been let out there without a response.. How about having everybody respond with the $800K Obama used to spend on voter registration fraud?

Then the travel expenses hit on Palin is also left unanswered without one clear response. How about responding with the millions of dollars Obama’s developer friends received for failed housing in the name of “low-income” subsidies. Why don’t they add up the millions his developer friends received and keep saying something like “Obama’s advisers/donors receive $XXM in subsidies for epic failed housing”.

This campaign seems to be being run by Democrats. Where is the clear and succinct strategy that Republicans usually have???

Less than two weeks out, I still don’t know what message to hit on Obama. Is it Redistribution? Joe? Acorn? What is it?

Pennsylvania is key to a McCain win.

It has been clear that Obama-Biden are doing a dance on clean coal.

We should resurrect this Biden clip where he says they’re against clean coal:

`

This is funny:

Biden Quits

Lets pass this along..

“If there’s going to be an international crisis within six months of the election,” claimed Biden. “I’d rather be on the side that would know how to deal with it. I may be stupid, but I’m not that stupid.”

Update: Also in reaction to this, shame on obama for using low-income as code word to enrich his friends.

As AP investigates a cheap thrill, they forgot to report that Obama’s main fundraisers and advisers were developers that were enriched by Obama’s supposedly “low income” housing policies.

These “Redistribution” policies that Obama supports are fronts for “legal” corruption that allows politicians to funnel money to their supporters.

According to the Boston Globe:

Grove Parc and several other prominent failures were developed and managed by Obama’s close friends and political supporters. Those people profited from the subsidies even as many of Obama’s constituents suffered. Tenants lost their homes; surrounding neighborhoods were blighted.

The list includes Valerie Jarrett, Allison Davis, Tony Rezko, and Cecil Butler (see below for more).

This is like a mini-Fannie Mae scam that Obama conducted in Chicago.

Thats not all, according to the LA Times, Obama got paid $112K from Ken Blackwell in return for $300K+ of grants from the state (actually from taxpayers)

A few months after receiving his final payment from EKI, Obama sent a request on state Senate letterhead urging Illinois officials to provide a $50,000 tourism promotion grant to another Blackwell company, Killerspin.

…With support from Obama, other state officials and an Obama aide who went to work part time for Killerspin, the company eventually obtained $320,000 in state grants between 2002 and 2004 to subsidize its tournaments.

Update: As the NY Times babbles about nonsense (don’t click on the link, not worth it), it’s nice to recall the suggestions for Obama’s late night infomercial.

Just like the other infomercials on late at nite, it’ll be fun to see his sales pitch. Here are some suggestions:

He could do Socialized Healthcare Gone Wild. This is where he visits all the nationalized health care systems in the world and notices the very long wait times in Canada and the poor quality of service in European countries. Back in the US, he can show employers losing the healthcare benefits since the gov’t will bare it all.

Or he could try Get Yourself Out of Debt with Redistribution Tax Policies. He can show how he will tax the successful small businesses and give the money to people with huge amounts of credit card debt. He can then show the resulting high unemployment rate and stagnant economy.

He could try Enlarging the Government. He can demonstrate how his magic policies can make the Government bigger and bigger while screwing the hard-working entrepreneurs. For instance, he can show his support for votes on the huge farm and energy bills with lots of subsidies for big businesses making it harder for smaller businesses to compete.

Maybe he can do the Spread the Wealth Workout Machine. He can show how a routine of spreading the wealth will result in spreading the misery. A couple percent this year, another two next, and another each year after, and you have everybody sharing the misery, I mean wealth.

In any case, it’ll be interesting to see what Obama’s trying to sell during his late night infomercial.

I think this is another area that supports Obama’s record of “Redistribution”.

He voted for 2 huge and pork-laden Socialist-type bills, the farm and energy bills, with so many wasteful subsidies.

Stossel’s 2020 Politically Incorrect story is a very good watch which describes the uselessness of the farm subsidies.

There are so many shots the McCain’s campaign can fire that can support this “Redistribution” message. They should stop scatter gunning it and start reinforcing and hammering the message.

Lets wish Obama’s grandma well as the AP reports

However, this is an important election and the campaign must go on.

McCain’s policies will spur business growth and job growth all around, considering the US has one the highest business taxes. At a time of economic crisis and global competition, american small AND medium AND large businesses need to be able to compete better and to be able to create more jobs.

On the other hand, Obama’s “Redistribution” policies will maximize “fairness”, at the expense of US business and job growth. Spread the wealth means “spread the misery”. His spending will be out of control.

McCains’ campaign is still lacking a focused message.

Davis is thinking of using wright again.

HELLO! pick a message and stick to it!

*The “spreading the wealth”, “redistribution of wealth” seems to be the most effective message thus far. *

McCain should be emailing every journalist/blogger about the many examples of Obama’s “redistribution of wealth”.

• his past housing policy and failure
• current housing policy
• his tax policy
• nationalized healthcare policy
• any other examples

This lack of focus is really irritating. STICK to ONE message. Have these guy’s ran a campaign before???

Also, “joe the plumber” is good, but like many bloggers have said, its got to be reframed and refocused on Obama, not just on Joe. The whining about media treatment is justified, but wasting valuable message space.

Stick to the message: “joe’s wealth is going to be redistributed by Obama’s policies”, not “joe’s being treated unfairly, boo hoo”.
