Another DNC legal attack



McCain got $7 million in excess donations: DNC

Sat Oct 25, 2008 2:39pm EDT

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - John McCain received nearly $7 million in 6,652 donations that exceeded contribution limits while seeking the Republican presidential nomination, the Democratic National Committee said on Saturday.

The DNC listed the figure in a complaint it said it will file on Monday with the Federal Election Commission. The Republican National Committee filed a similar complaint on October 5, alleging Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama had not done enough to weed out illegal contributions.

In a copy of the DNC posted on the Internet, the DNC said on Saturday it compiled its information by examining donations recorded on McCain's campaign Web site.

"Analysis of the information ... shows that the McCain Campaign has received 6,653 contributions each of which was at least $1,000 in excess of the applicable $2,300 limit to the primary campaign," the DNC complaint said.

"Nineteen individuals contributed more then $10,000 each to the McCain Campaign -- more than four times the limit," said the do ent. It said the donations included one person who gave $56,047 and overall totaled "nearly $7 million."

The complaint asked the election commission to investigate the matter. It also accuses the McCain campaign of accepting donations without getting the donors' names and addresses.

A spokesman for the McCain campaign was not immediately available for comment. On its Web site, the New York Times political blog quoted McCain spokesman Brain Rogers as saying the DNC complaint was a publicity stunt to distract attention from Obama's "shady fund-raising practices."

here's the legal rational behind the lawsuit:

In the lawsuit, Berg states that Sen. Obama was born in Kenya, and not in Hawaii as the senator maintains. Before giving birth, according to the lawsuit, Obama's mother traveled to Kenya with his father but was prevented from flying back to Hawaii because of the late stage of her pregnancy, "apparently a normal restriction to avoid births during a flight." As Sen. Obama's own paternal grandmother, half-brother and half-sister have also claimed, Berg maintains that Stanley Ann Dunham--Obama's mother--gave birth to little Barack in Kenya and subsequently flew to Hawaii to register the birth.


Berg cites inconsistent accounts of Sen. Obama's birth, including reports that he was born at two separate hospitals--Kapiolani Hospital and Queens Hospital--in Honolulu, as well a profound lack of birthing records for Stanley Ann Dunham, though simple "registry of birth" records for Barack Obama are available in a Hawaiian public records office.


Should Sen. Obama truly have been born in Kenya, Berg writes, the laws on the books at the time of his birth hold that U.S. citizenship may only pass to a child born overseas to a U.S. citizen parent and non-citizen parent if the former was at least 19 years of age. Sen. Obama's mother was only 18 at the time. Therefore, because U.S. citizenship could not legally be passed on to him, Obama could not be registered as a "natural born" citizen and would therefore be ineligible to seek the presidency pursuant to Article II, Section 1 of the United States Cons ution.

He doesn't have the evidence to support his claims and the burden of proof is on his side. Moreover, he doesn't have standing to bring the suit. If Bush's DOJ thought this had even the slightest chance, they would have jumped all over bringing this suit.

He has had years to bring his "evidence" to the DOJ and allow them to bring suit. Funny he waits until just before an election to pull a publicity stunt lawsuit.

Seriously, the same GOP that uses lists of foreclosures as a guide to disenfranchise voters wouldn't be all over this if there was anything to it?

That's why you don't see me pursuing this point.

I see your starting more threads about this bull .

I would like to see the evidence and I wish that he would open up records to us.

Already posted. You're just too stupid to have clicked a link.

Why is there any reason in the world to doubt the evidence that has already been presented?

Besides his not being the person you want to be president.
