This is all so surreal... Here we have an individual seriously suggesting that the Obama donations weren't from poor joe six pack types who bought the change meme being proferred, but were really George Soros diffusing his millions and secretly orchestrating donations to the Obama campaign, obviously flouting the prohibitions on individuals buying elections that were in force at the time. This same individual, I am sure, is absolutely at ease with what the Supreme Court has legislated in terms of allowing any entity, from anywhere, that is incorporated, giving untold, unlimited and untraceable amounts to elect Republicans. The hypocrisy of these folks is breathtaking....exceeded only by their delusions of evildoing by the incumbents.

few "untraceable" emails I think e-mail is a bit different because it can be traced if somebody seeks to trace it. Perhaps having a computer program making thousands of small donations to a web site could also be traced by the FBI or other professionals, but why would anybody ever even investigate it? If Obama or McCain claim that they received $2 million in small donations on the internet, I bet it never gets audited or questioned. Seems like a loophole that can easily be exploited by a person/firm with a computer program and money to donate. I am not implying that this has happened in the past, just that it seems like it is a possible event.
