Obama very conveniently opted out of campaingn finance reform funding, allowing him to raise and spend as much as he wants to.
The question I have is that
this BBC report says he raised $66 million in August, including money from half a million new donors...
Sorry, but this sounds fishy to me.
Most of the Obama donors are leftists who gave lots of money back in the primaries...
Now however we are told half a million new people are giving money,
55 million divided by 500 thousand= $100 a piece...all from NEW donors?
Except things don't work like that. We might have people giving a couple bucks, and big donors giving large amounts...
but the big donors probably already gave, so who is masking their new donations? Or is the money coming from union dues (without members approval)?
Most Americans don't give to their political parties, so this suggests that something fishy is going on.
Anyone checking the news? Nope? wonder why?
