4. Then the DNC should seek an audit of all contributions to McCain's campaign

though it obviously won't take as long...

What did they do, have some operatives deliberately make illegal contribution?

:evilgrin:

5. Remember that story a couple months back of McLoonie receiving
bundled money from people who didn't even like him--over the limits of what they were allowed to donate? Yeah, let's bring that story back.

10. Ah, yes, here's the link:
http://www.mcclatchydc.com/100/story/47435.html

And here's a good excerpt:

"On Thursday, the McCain campaign said it would return $50,000 in donations tied to businessman Harry Sargeant III, finance chairman of the Florida Republican Party and a college buddy of Crist's. Sargeant has said the California donors were solicited by a business partner, Mustafa Abu Naba'a, a Jordanian with an apartment in Miami-Dade, records show.

McCain -- a champion of campaign-finance reform in the U.S. Senate -- said he would return the donations after news articles in the Washington Post and the New York Times raised questions about their legitimacy.

In a letter to the donors, the campaign warned that foreign nationals cannot donate money to U.S. campaigns and contributors cannot be reimbursed by another donor as a way to get around contribution limits."

7. It won't affect the election no matter what. Current times are what is on our minds. Petty attacks
will backfire.

8. Stupid tactic won't work. That shit is going to hit McCain hard
considering he was already in trouble for it.

9. I'd imagine we could have all of the documents ready for review in...oh....say 30 days.
