The pre-paid credit cards are traceable.
hey have a card number on them just like any other debit or credit card which was applied for through a bank or loan company or savings institution. They have to be registered when purchased at the counter in order to be activated.
If Master Card and Visa and AMEX makes these for gift card purchases, then they have a paper trail of every purchase made and at every store they were made--even if they don't have the purchaser's name. The purchaser has a receipt for their purchase and can be brought forward. Anything that doesn't show up with a receipt gets rejected.
In other words, if they are accusing Obama donations of possibly being from "bad sources" the burden of proof is on them to prove they are--and they can't prove it. They're just preparing for a legal showdown Tuesday if Obama wins by stirring up a can of lies ahead of time to provide a backdrop for issues they themselves created and caused.
If they're so "up" on fraud and bad donations that can't be traced, it means they've done it themselves. Many times. As my granny said, "If a man accuses you of cheating and you KNOW you're not--you might want to take a deeper look into what he's doing." He might be telling on himself.
There are about 50 different ways those debit cards can be tracked down--they come through legal American banks. This isn't a government that spies on its own citizens and doesn't know how to track down the sources of credit card purchases, even if they ARE unregistered gift cards.
Besides, Obama can give it all back today if he wants. His campaign is, literally, IN THE BLACK. He's already slated to win on Tuesday without having to spend another dime. McCain and Palin have been doing all of his campaign spending for him, anywhere from inciting race riots and violence against a presidential candidate to heaven only knows what else out of plain pure jealousy.
Had they ran their own race on the issues instead of attacking Obama as a man, he might have had a bigger and more contentious fight on his hands; but they shot themselves in the feet and the mouth, thrashing around on a race card that likely cost them this election as it cost Hillary the primaries.
