I mean, do you guys think that if Bush loses the election and a democrat is declared the winner of the vote on Nov. 4th 2004, that Visa will suddenly back off of us and say "Hey guys, guess what! Back to business as usual! Happy times are here again!"

It's got nothing to do with Bush and everything to do with chargebacks and fraud.
Very true, if Bush and Ashcr**t had their way Visa/MC would have pulled the plug totally.

Visa/MC are saying "Do business our way or go find another CC card company who will accept you"

But it's not just fraud and CB, it's also some of the material some people put out. Maybe Visa/MC do not want to be associated with Skat, Incest, Rape, Watersports, Max Hardcore, Kiddie porn, etc.

Will it cost us some webmasters? Yes

Will it cost us some surfers? No
