3rdnlng Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 "Try this thought experiment: You decide to donate money to Mitt Romney. You want change in the Oval Office, so you engage in your democratic right to send a check. Several days later, President Barack Obama, the most powerful man on the planet, singles you out by name. His campaign brands you a Romney donor, shames you for "betting against America," and accuses you of having a "less-than-reputable" record. The message from the man who controls the Justice Department (which can indict you), the SEC (which can fine you), and the IRS (which can audit you), is clear: You made a mistake donating that money. Are you worried?" http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702304723304577368280604524916.html The website: http://www.keepinggophonest.com/behind-the-curtain-a-brief-history-of-romneys-donors/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMadCap Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I guess Mittens should have just offered to shake their hands for $1000 and all would be cool... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Large Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I love the heat coming in this election cycle. Are the GOP going to whimper about big tough Obama, or fight back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Large Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I'd actually like the list of donors for both candidates released. I think it would be fascinating to see who donated, their business, and their dirt. I think it would go along way to illustrate why 50% of voters just don't bother.

Open Secrets Always a good review this time of year. Obama's top 2008 donor was the University of California. Then Goldman Sachs, Havard, Microsoft, Google, JP Morgan, Citigroup.

My gut feeling is this is not what the Framers had in mind when they envisioned a representative Government, and small government at that. So Billions will be spent on elections, can you imagine how that money could really help Citizens, especially the one who are truly needy? thanks for the post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, just like ObamaCare is going to fix what's wrong with the Health Care "system". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxrock Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I love the heat coming in this election cycle. Are the GOP going to whimper about big tough Obama, or fight back? The nominee is Romney and not Newt, so I'm going with whimper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
