		<description>&lt;b&gt;No paymentech is NOT a co-conspirator here&lt;/b&gt;

Merchants can turn off AVS/CVS checks if they want to (it&#039;s part of a banking industry compromise worked out years ago).

You can bet, however, on two things:

1 - that paymentech repeatedly warned the campaign that they are taking enormous, and unprofessional, risks; and,

2 - that the daily list of transaction attempts includes a lot of failed transactions.

FYI: the &quot;we can&#039;t do it because of volume&quot; defense on not filing FEC data for small donations is 100% bogus. The paymentech stuff includes on line access to all transactions for the current and previous six months.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Democratic Congress meets over the weekend before the election to declare that one square mile of Kenya, from the years 1960 tthrough 1965, can now be revealed as having been a secret American military base, and thus Barry Obama was technically born in a zone of the U.S. even though he was birthed in Kenya, proper.

Joe Biden swears he served on that covert base an an O.S.S. officer.

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;    one of the industries that would “pull the plug” on some of these defaults.

No industries ever get their plugs pulled. That’s a myth. 
lorien1973 on October 24, 2008 at 6:53 PM&lt;/blockquote&gt;
You argue when their is no argument, my friends merchant account service company will &quot;pull the plug&quot; on any porn business that uses their merchant services.  That is no myth, that is fact because of the legal and ethical problems they are faced with.
Yes, they can go to another merchant account and get served, but you have to find one that accepts that industry.
The bank I deal with would not do any merchant accounts for any website processing.  So I had to go to another merchant account service and have them handle the website processing.</description>

Theoretically, for GOPers, it would be in some ways better, for this to come out after Nov 4. Now that may sound strange, but according the Constitution, if there is an election and the person elected is ruled ineligible, the person with the next most electoral votes is elected president, therefore, that would be McCain

ConservativePartyNow on October 24, 2008 at 7:21 PM
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
That would never happen, you would have to prove that Obama had intent, knew, ordered, was responsible, etc.
That would never happen.
I don&#039;t think anyone has ever been forced to give up their elected office for voter fraud.
Scholars out there know of any?</description>

    you would have to purposely override defaults to make that happen. 

no you wouldn’t. You’d just code it a little different. No defaults to over-ride.

   
lorien1973 on October 24, 2008 at 6:53 PM&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Most of the time, the business doesn&#039;t &quot;code&quot; the processing.  There are defaults, such as name and address must match Yes or NO (keeping it simple), the default is usually yes, you have to purposely ask to have the name and address not match.
The merchant service contract doesn&#039;t have the terms usually in the contract, however, VISA, etc. does.
If the merchant service has the defaults overridden then they are responsible for any losses.  And it has to be contracted with a special form.
I suspect, a merchant service company set up the agreement with the &quot;loose&quot; requirements that overrode AMEX, VISA, normal requirements.
Look at any merchant service contract, and you will see that the merchant is charged back for any billing not properly processed.
Visa, et al, doesn&#039;t allow just anyone with any info, they have standards, it is the merchant service account holder that changes those &quot;standards&quot;.
Regardless, someone has to purposely set this up as a unique merchant account, taking money without any matching information, way out of the norm, according to my merchant service friend.  Highly unusual to the effect that he as done this for several years and never set up an account like that.  He said bells and whistles would go off all over the company.
The interesting scenario would be if you set up a &quot;revolving&quot; credit with the phony info.  Where every month $199 was taken out.  You could set up dozens of these, and it would fly under the radar.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Mr. Berg on Savage last night said that he thinks the reason the college transcripts haven’t been released is beacuse it states he was born outside the USA and thus received special financial help.

That&#039;s a stretch -- a real stretch. How about O just did really lousy, grade-wise, in at least one of those institutions, such as Columbia, so therefore releasing the records would make it somewhat difficult for Harvard to explain why they accepted him. Same theory with Occidental.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;But considering that we can’t even see his college transcripts (probably because he attended classes taught by Ayers), this will never happen.

		<description>I’m not sure if anyone else has mentioned it; but if you wanted to manage millions of anonymouse donations, all under $200. Prepaid cards are the way to go. That’s how I’d do it. Easy as pie, really.

Oh, it&#039;s been mentioned, and it makes sense. 

As far as &quot;the business decision&quot; goes, though, maybe a better phrase would be &quot;not illegal,&quot; because it&#039;s certainly not business as usual.&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Soros has taken over.

jgapinoy on October 24, 2008 at 5:42 PM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Soros spent $35 million in 2004 and Kerry still lost.

It will be so cool to see him spend $1/2 BILLION and Obama lose in 11 days either outright or because he wasn&#039;t eligible. With all those fraudulent donations, he must have hired ACORN morons to make them.</description>

		<description>My donation went through on the site but has never shown up in my bank account.  I&#039;ll keep watching the next few days to see if it gets processed.  My card is a Visa debit card and my bank is really good about catching fraudulent charges, so, it may have been caught by them and not the Obama folks.

On the bright side, IB Hatin Obama got an email from Michelle Obama this morning reminding her to vote. ;)</description>

I got hammered on that before.  It&#039;s unsigned.  Berg submitted that hoping that the judge would rule in his favor.

He was on Weiner Nation last night.  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.talkradionetwork.com/premiumstream?dispid=304&amp;headerDest=L3BnL2pzcC9tZWRpYS9mbGFzaHdlbGNvbWUuanNwP3BpZD0zNDI2JnBsYXlsaXN0PXRydWUmY2hhcnR0eXBlPWNoYXJ0JmNoYXJ0SUQ9MzA0JnBsYXlsaXN0U2l6ZT0xMA==&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Audio here.&lt;/a&gt;</description>
