Trey grayson concedes and donates to rand?

[remain_nameless]

just kidding, but it's still pretty funny!

 

[Kotin]

ha! great screen.

 

[Ethek]

Even Trey is not unworthy. Rand welcomes all into the liberty tent.

 

[dr. hfn]

lmao!

 

[DeadheadForPaul]

Lol...uh...I'm guessing that have to reject a fake name?

Still funny

or I guess it could be 'shopped

What happens when people donate money under false names? Can Rand use it? Wouldn't that mean people can donate more than $2,400?

What happens is an insignificant fine from the FEC and millions of dollars worth of negative publicity. That's what.

They give it back.

 

[DeadheadForPaul]

Please do not try to get around the FEC - we don't need bad news

 

[Thargok]

I think the max anonymous donation is $50 or $100. Everything over that requires employment information, I believe anything that does not include such information (or is fake) must be given to a non-Profit organization (I'm assuming C4L) if it cannot be returned.

I hope they don't' give mine back b/c I put none of your business. lol

I'm pretty sure that no matter what the person put in the "name" field, they will have their actual real name via the credit card or paypal payment account.

When I looked around my neighborhood in 2008 with a donation tracker website I noticed numerous cases of fraud. People would max out their donation, then donate more under a slightly altered name like "John Smith" and "John A. Smith" and "John Alex Smith". Though I don't suggest anyone do it. I'm sure if you realy wanted to go past max there are other more legal ways.

I bought a dollar off eBay that was autographed by Ron Paul, the person said whatever they got for the $1 they would donate to Ron Paul's campaign. There's perfectly legal round a bout there. Ron Paul should have been selling his own autographed dollars on eBay. Hell, Rand or anyone else could do that.

 

[Inflation]

Tray Greyson?

Ew, gross!

We don't want his dirty AIPAC blood money.

Let him and Bibi blow it on hookers, meth, and call boys.

Or they could return it to Madoff's victims. Ha! As if!

Unless you're Obama, in which case you can get millions of dollars in fake names with absolutely no FEC action what-so-ever.

Seriously, I subsribe to the FEC Treasurers lists, and recently they issued an official whine that 5 years wasn't long enough for them to make cases of this type. Damned statute of limitations.

5 years isn't enough to prove that Mickey Mouse wasn't really a legitimate name?

Yeah, thanks for taking over my health care.

That's actually not entirely legal. If you sold the dollar, and I gave you $2,400 for the dollar, you're required to disclose to the FEC that I gave you the $2,400 that you're donating.

Mitt Romney was running a scam like this during the last election, and I thought my head would explode, because I am uncool like that.

This. You can't give someone else money with the purpose of having them give money to a candidate.

Also, I know in Texas if someone promises to give your campaign a specific amount of money on a specific day you have to report it as the day the promise was made.
