Because, like most other things, you don't know how contributions are calculated.

I guess you think that it is money only that buys nominations. Right now Newt is leading in the polls in South Carolina 33% to 31%. What happens if this shift continues through the voting Saturday?

I am sure that nearly all the dead people who vote do so for the people with D after their names. Of course, we worry about that.

You sure know more about dead people than I. Of course, they are the real problem... foreigners are welcome to participate.

Is there a chance you can explain how that happens from the State Department? While you are at it why not tell us how this happens in the other Departments of the US Government.

Seriously, I am asking someone who is so much better informed than I to explain how the State Department kicks in $48,000 for the President.

Can you point out the law that says that foreigners can't take part in nomination proceedings? I know that they aren't supposed to take part in general election games, although so many of them did in 2008, but I don't know about nominations.

See post #7. Well, you may have seen it. Try understanding the point made.

Send your question to the agency referred to in the OP.

I said, they do. I also said, it must be a good thing for America, that they can influence elections. After all, real Americans support the idea, no?

Check the numbers of dead people who this South Carolina newspaper say too part in 2008 in the election after the dates the DMV says their deaths were reported.

Stop the dead from voting | www.thecolumbiastar.com | Columbia Star

Think about how close the vote, now called a tie, in Iowa caucus votes were and tell me that this number is not enough to affect an election, statewide. For those who don't take the trouble to look it seems that 937 instances of dead people voting caused South Carolina to pass their ID card law that has been headed off by our esteemed DOJ. That is the office that Eric Holder runs, isn't it?

I scan fast and don't always see the things some do so you tell me what foreigners were giving money and to who.

Well, that is the point I made. Dead Americans are a greater threat to elections in America than foreigners who deserve to be celebrated. Well, at least according to real Americans.
