GOP to file fundraising complaint against Obama

Washington (AP) – The Republican National Committee plans to file a fundraising complaint against Democrat Barack Obama’s presidential campaign Monday, alleging it has accepted donations that exceed federal limits as well as illegal contributions from foreigners.
RNC officials acknowledged Sunday that they do not have a list of foreign donors to Obama’s campaign. Instead, the complaint is based largely on media reports, including one from the conservative Web site Newsmax.
The complaint asks the Federal Elections Commission to audit Obama’s campaign fund, RNC chief counsel Sean Cairncross said in a conference call with reporters.
Cairncross said little is known about many of Obama’s donors because the campaign is not required to disclose detailed information about people who give less than $200.
The Obama campaign, which is not accepting public funds, has raised more than $468 million. About half has come from small donors, a point of pride for the Obama campaign.
The Obama campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Funny how the RNC constantly attacks the NYT, CNN, etc. but they take the rantings of the extremist rightwing media as gospel.
Newsmax = crazed conservative moonbats.
Can you spell
d-e-s-p-e-r-a-t-e?
Ha Ha Ha....That you've been
reading the retarded rants of Christopher Ruddy and his demented "Newsmax"...it explains everything....
Waa waa waa. Very unbecoming. But what else can you expect from Republicans??
You're on drugs.....
Only in your warped little mind, emphasis on little, are CNN and even MSNBC "extreme leftwing media." MSNBC has conservative hosts as well as liberal hosts. None of them are extreme. Even Republican apologist and water carrier Fox News isn't extreme like Newsmax!!
