Obama Campaign Accepting Fraudulent Contributions

Ace of Spades has a lot of good information on the Obama campaign accepting clearly bogus credit card contributions.

Draw up the impeachment papers. If Obama wins, we should be ready.

This is the deliberate evasion of campaign finance rules. It's shocking the media never checked before -- and apparently isn't even checking now.

Note: This is quite deliberate. The Address Verification System has to be specifically disabled to allow this fraud:

Suitably Flip adds to it and succesfully made a blatantly bogus contribution with the following information:

And finally, me, just now, with the following data:

Name: Nodda Realperson
Address:  1000 This Is a Bogus Street
City/State: Neighborhood of Makebelieve, CA
Email: if.a.live.person.is.vetting.this.donation@its.fake.dont.process.it.com
Employer: Barack Obama
Occupation: Cow-Eyed Disciple

The debit transaction (of $5) processed at my account within 90 seconds.

What robust security!  Aren't you reassured knowing that Obama's $250 million or so in small-dollar donations that will never see the light of FEC disclosure are so painstakingly vetted?

And this one from Powerline that my Atlas Shrugged fans will appreciate:

Name: John Galt
Address: 1957 Ayn Rand Lane
City: Galts Gulch
State: CO
Zip: 99999

Then I checked the box next to $15 and entered my actual credit card number and expiration date (it didn't ask for the 3-didgit code on the back of the card) and it took me to the next page and... "Your donation has been processed. Thank you for your generous gift."

This simply should not, and could not, happen in any business or any campaign that is honestly trying to vet it's donors.

Good to see the conservative blogosphere once again doing the work of the mainstream media.
