They said the money they gave to the campaign was to buy T-shirts, even though the Obama sells them for about $20/each and the going price for T-shirts in Gaza is less than a 10th of that price. In an interview with WND''''s Aaron Klein, the brothers reportedly changed their story repeatedly.

So you admit they change their story, and that is supposed to be Obama''s problem. In other words, you don''t know if it is true or not, but are on here as usual spreading unsubstantiated rumors. As far as the rules for online donations, they are the same for McCain, aren;t they? And I don;t think they could donate 26k without obviously being over limits. What are you actually claiming?

That the Edwans were able to contribute to Obama''s campaign from Gaza raises questions about the lax methods used by the presidential candidate''s website to vet online donations. The website donation form only asks each donor to affirm that he or she is a U.S. citizen above the age of 16. It requires no proof of citizenship status, such as a passport or social security number.

The form further requires the donor to affirm the contribution is not coming from a corporation, political action committee or lobby group. Wonder if Hamas qualifies.

This lie has been brought to you by the Mccain campaign.

Its not a Lie Buddy. But thats all you libs have to defend yourself is say everyone is lieing. Here ill give you more details on it.

The Edwans are a large clan that include top Hamas supporters, according to WND. The two brothers praised Obama and admitted giving the money online to his campaign. They said they are not U.S. citizens or green card holders but are citizens of "Palestine."

They said the money they gave to the campaign was to buy T-shirts, even though the Obama sells them for about $20/each and the going price for T-shirts in Gaza is less than a 10th of that price. In an interview with WND''s Aaron Klein, the brothers reportedly changed their story repeatedly.

WHO ELSE IS SUPPORTING OBAMA...HAMAS, IRAN.

JERUSALEM %u2013 Palestinian brothers inside the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip are listed in government election filings as having donated $29,521.54 to Sen. Barack Obama''''''''s campaign.

Donations of this nature would violate election laws, including prohibitions on receiving contributions from foreigners and guidelines against accepting more than $2,300 from one individual during a single election, Bob Biersack, a spokesman for the Federal Election Commission, told WND in response to a query.

The contributions also raise numerous questions about the Obama campaign''''''''s lax online donation form, which apparently allows for the possibility of foreign contributions.

Obama will now begin to widen the gap. McCain''s camp made a critical mistake. They complained that Obama was getting all the attention. We all know that media attention anymore is sensationalist and overwhelmingly negative and scandal related. Now that they are turning toward McCain, he is a goner once they take a closer look.

Be careful what you ask for, as you just might get it.

Is the CBS poll like the latest AP-IPSOS poll? That poll was taken with 531 democrats and 381 republicans, really fair!

Obamas campaign has been receiving online donations from foreign countries for some time now and they need to be fully investigated. I emailed my concerns to the Federal Election Commission demanding that they do a full audit! Obamas campaign has been infiltrated by Muslims with direct ties to radical Islamists just recently.

The elections are a long way off, but this is definitely good news. There may be light at the end of the tunnel after all.

"I''m going to be honest: I know a lot less about economics than I do about military and foreign policy issues. I still need to be educated." John Mccain

"The issue of economics is not something I''ve understood as well as I should. I''ve got Greenspan''s book." John Mccain

John mccain is clueless on economics he is adopting the economic policies of George bush, the president that added 5 trillion to the national debt. If Mccain continues the bush tax cuts it will add 2 trillion to the national debt

"We have a lot of work to do. It''''s a very hard struggle, particularly given the situation on the Iraq-Pakistan border." John mcain referring to a border that does not exist, ABC News interview, July 21, 2008

"I was concerned about a couple of steps that the Russian government took in the last several days. One was reducing the energy supplies to Czechoslovakia." John Mccain referring to a country that no longer exists, Phoenix, Arizona, July 14, 2008

Several of the donors were emphatic in interviews that they had made the contributions on their own and had not been reimbursed. Indeed, while the donors do not fit the typical profile of people who often make large political donations, it appears many have made relatively successful livings, toiling away at small businesses they own: an auto repair shop, a discount stereo warehouse, a realty company.
