Subscribe to RSSWOLFEBORO, NH -- Mitt Romney's campaign, the Republican National Committee, and the Romney Victory Fund raised more than $100 million in June, the campaign confirmed to NBC News.
That fundraising milestone is likely to best President Obama's total cash haul (for his campaign, the DNC, and competing victory fund) for the second straight month. The campaigns have until July 20 to file June's fundraising reports with the Federal Election Commission.
Last month, Romney's fundraising was buoyed by his single-best fundraising day of between $6 million and $8 million in Michigan, and by a three-day swing through Texas that netted the presumptive GOP nominee $15 million. Big-ticket events in Washington DC and in the New York City area also helped fill campaign coffers.
In May, which was Romney's first full month fundraising as the GOPs' presumptive nominee, his combined total was $76.8 million, compared with Team Obama's $60 million haul.
But when totals for just the campaigns were tallied for May -- where donations are limited to just $5,000 per person for both the primaries and general election -- Obama outraised Romney, $39 million to $23 million.
Obama campaign officials had predicted Romney would outraise them in June -- and possibly for the election cycle -- when his campaign and party funds were lumped in with pro-Republican Super PACs. Today, Obama campaign spokesperson Ben LaBolt accused the Romney campaign of releasing their fundraising totals today to divert attention from a string of negative stories bedeviling Romney this week.
“Mitt Romney is trying to distract from a week when he took contradictory positions on the freeloader penalty in the Affordable Care Act and we learned more about his offshored finances in Switzerland, Bermuda, and the Cayman Islands," he said in a statement. "Americans are less concerned about how much money he raised to get himself elected and more interested in what he would do after repealing health reform, which he has refused to share, and why he won’t disclose the necessary tax returns that prove whether or not he paid any U.S. taxes on his shell corporation in Bermuda.”
Romney spent significant time and effort in fundraising in June, limiting public campaign events to focus on criss-crossing the country to build the warchest necessary to hire more staff and buy airtime in swing state television markets.
His July will begin in much the same way, when Romney returns to the campaign trail from his New Hampshire vacation on Sunday with a series of fundraisers in the Hamptons, on New York's Long Island. On Monday, he'll attend a fundraiser at a bundler's home in Aspen, Colorado, and on Thursday he'll be joined at a Wyoming fundraiser by former Vice President Dick Cheney.

Well, GOODEE for them!
Are we supposed to be impressed?
If so, I hate to tell you it's just not working for me...
Now, if someone could find out how much Willard has stashed in the Cayman & Swiss bank accounts, that would be noteworthy...
Poor Willard, all that cash and it still can't buy him some love! lol
I've always thought we are on the wrong path when a presidential contender has to raise approx. $1,000,000,000 dollars to win an election... it's starting to get away from the people's decision, but rather a rich person's decision who becomes our president.
And our politicians would continue to cater to those who can afford to raise them millions, while neglecting the needs of the masses. Quite of a shame the direction we are headed with our politics in this country. Until the people speak, it wont change and will only get worse. Campaign finance reform, need I say more?
Maybe Dick will discuss the merits of the ACA and Marriage Equality with Willard!
Everybody should check out the photo over @ The Obama Diary.
Pres. Obama consoles a woman whose sister died of cancer and who thanked him for #ObamaCare.
Stephanie Miller of Sandusky, Ohio cries on the shoulder of President Obama at a campaign event at Washington Park in Sandusky, Ohio. Miller’s sister died of cancer and said that Obama’s healthcare plan would have given her better treatment options.
************
$100 million can't bring this young lady's sister back. What exactly is the GOP and most of the media doing by slamming this legislation?
The GOP have been saying NO to us for 4 years. Now they want to say NO to healthcare. Enough is enough.
It's time for us to say NO to them in November. Mitt has the money. We've always known that.
However, it is President Obama and the Democrats who have our backs.
I'd advise Mitt not to go hunting with Dick.....knowing Dick..he'd yell 'duck' after he shoots!
What would be "noteworthy" is for someone to come up with a shred of evidence he has broken a law.
If you don't like repubs driving 70 MPH in a 70 MPH zone, change the law / speed limit.
But wait .... it's the repubs that call for tax reform .... not the dems?
So what are you crying about?
Seems Obama has his own love problems.
After all the $38,000 a plate dinners, pictures for $10,000 .... raffles for dinners with Obama for $5, raffles for dinner with his Hollywood buds .... Obama is now reduced to begging people to send the money they would spend on their birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, weddings, etc - to Obama.
You need to register the Dear Leader to recieve your goodies?
Poor Obama .... that is pathetic .... must really suck to have to beg that way.
But in other words, Feisty ..... Obama needs more of your love .... your Vodka and popcorn money.
Love means never having to say your sorry, huh?
Oh well .... Obama doesn't have any pride or a conscience anyway.
A fundraiser with Dick Cheney? You've.got.to.be.kidding.
Political Carnival:
President Obama today:
"They put two wars on a credit card, tax cuts not paid for, a prescription drug plan not paid for, left us the tab."
He forgot to add, "And the GOP has obstructed every one of my jobs plans."
********
{Backhouse, if you're reading this, I emailed you something quite interesting; hope it helps.}
Well, Bob, $100M may be enough to gild Romney's pig, but in the end it is still a pig. He will not be able to buy the faith and votes of the American people and ultimately, ol' Etch-A-Sketch is going to lose in November.
President Obama continues to lead in the polls despite Romney's best efforts...if that's what you want to call them:
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2012/president/us/general_election_romney_vs_obama-1171.html
President Obama in November! He is clearly our only rational choice!
bob-1805084 - pathetic little post there. President Obama is doing fine and not having to beg anyone for anything. And, amazingly, he's not having people follow Romney around to try to put him down.
See, President Obama actually draws his own crowds; has his own agenda; and can talk coherently. None of those attributes relates to Romney. But, don't worry. Some day the GOP will actually field a REAL candidate! Well, maybe or not.
Obama/Biden 2012
Tunde,
I couldn't agree with you more! It's obscene no matter how it's sliced & diced!
Seeking,
And today is any different HOW? lol
Poor little thing is so redundant it's pitiful...
You should put the boob on ignore - one of the best decisions I've evah made when it comes to FR! ;o)
This insane amount of money only made me cringe thinking about the Campaign Industrial Complex. Let's see where that money is coming from. I want to know who is trying to by my country.
bob-1805084 -- Thank you for the reminder that we need to see Romney's tax returns. The Vanity Fair article about Bermuda was a good start.
Feisty - Nah - he's amusing - at times!
Outta here! You boys and girls play nice!
Great evening everyone!
Willardo the Weirdo is a vulture ...using his claws ... to rake in obscene amount of campaign funds, with the belief that money is going to buy elections.
Hey Sailpuss -
Actually Obama is frantically outspending Romney by a 2-1 margin.
All negative ads, too!
Wait till people get tired of nothing, but nothing, but nothing of negative ads ....
And wait till Romney starts spending his money.
But again .... maybe Obama can find another law to change by fiat for some voter block.
Who knows what tricks the Chicago punk still has left.
Hey Seeking -
Still haven't figured out that google thingy?
Gosh, Obama soliciting birthday, wedding gifts got 9,170,000 spot on hits in a quarter of a second.
CBS, ABC, pretty much everyone ...
Not thinkformeprogress, huh?
Feisty -
If you have had me on ignore for 6 months .....
How would you know my comments are redundant?
Damit... busted again, huh?
Sheesh Boob!
Oh... I don't know... maybe because that is one of the main reasons of my decision to put you on my exclusive ignore author list?
You really aren't very good at this are you? lol
Let me explain how the "ignore" author feature works for those of you who are mentally challenged.
Usually best to acquaint yourself with how the site work - before you make an ever bigger idiot out of yourself!
See once you click on that feature - your comments are automatically collapsed - which makes it all the much easier to scroll on by your legendary bull@!$%#!
However, at any time I can open your crap to see what you had to say, like when another viner calls you out for being the vain @!$%# you are!
The beautiful thing about it is, I am in control & YOU are NOT! lmao!
It has to suck to be you my impotent little buddy!
Correction to my post above: buy, not by.
Obama is outspending Romney by a 2-1 margin? All negative ads, too?
Yay! Oh, and who says "negative" isn't just telling the truth?
Hey Bob, until you can come up with evidence to support your insane fantasies they will remain meaningless and pointless nonsense. The fact is that President Obama, despite the negative ads of the Romney campaign and the Koch Bros. superpacs, is cruising in first place in the polls against his opponents just as he has since the election year started. The American people are ignoring the dirty money and attack ads of the GOP's #1 loser and President Obama will be reelected whether you like it or not.
Hold on tight to your fantasies, Bob; reality is headed your way like a freight train and it's due to arrive in November! See you there!
Why so many give money to a really rich guy, while the poor have suffered more because of GOP's failed policies that led to this recession?
the GOP should have donated that money to the needy - the deserving poor.
Yet I baited you in #1.15 and you responded to that bait in #1.16 .... where was the other viner?
Damit .... you just got busted again.
And about me being vain .... I am more intelligent than millions of Americans and there are millions and millions of Americans A LOT more intelligent than I am.
You aren't one of them, though. Not even close.
That's a pretty ignorant statement. You are trying to taunt me over the fact I can't control what your fingers do with your computer? Why would I even care about you, (you have demonstrated nothing redeemable in over 2 years) ... much less what you click or any other bodily function?
I have it better than millions and millions .... and there are millions that have it better than I do.
I have no idea where that places me on the suck meter, but regardless, it has to be way, way above somebody's impotent little hubby.
Btw - not challenging that little hubby's manhood or virility .... I'm sure it is just a situational issue. Place him in another environment and I'm sure he would be fine.
As always ... such a pleasure talking with you Feisty.
Breaking News: "Some people say" Romney has been stashing huge sums of money around the world, but not to evade paying taxes. It's just in case he actually wins the election -- He is preparing to go into exile and will take the computer hard drives too.
Well, Mitt could escape to China where he is a national hero for bringing jobs there at the expense of American workers. They would welcome him with open arms!
Why didn't I take the blue pill. (no pun intended)
The wealthy ones like Mitt look down on the common folks like us, making bets to what degree of fools we are. Through his rose colored windows, he sees himself above us, standing in the mud gazin' at the stars. But the rich and poor have in common - the common cold, the heart burn, the heartache, we put our pants on just the same. His worth don't make him better.
While he's playing with our minds, we'll be playing with his money, as long as his account can stand the drain. We'll come out a whole lot wiser Nation at least.
In the GOP, I don't see no halos, just a lot of men with a a lot of gold, wanting one more trinket for their golden chain.
That's what the GOP has.
############
This is what we in the Democratic Party have.
Today in Ohio; tweeted over @ The Obama Diary:
Pres. Obama: When I talk about the middle-class, I'm also talking about poor folks who are trying to get into the middle-class.
POTUS: I don't need a tax cut. Mr. Romney sure doesn't need another tax cut. I don't need a tax cut if it means cutting education funds.
Pres. Obama: Healthcare reform is a patients bill of rights because you deserve comprehensive coverage. Woman: "Thank You!"
Pres. Obama: I don't care how much the other side spends, I have faith in you. When you decide what's right & wrong, no one can stop you.
Pres. Obama: We can't have a country where we teach selfishness, where we don't look out for each other & are all about ourselves.
###########
President Barack Obama - 2008-2016
We are a better Nation because of him.
{Google - Make It Rain - Dean Martin}
Pres. Obama: Being middle-class isn't just about the money in your pocket. It's about your values. It's about community.
Pres. Obama: The other side is going to spend money like nobody's business. But their plan is not a plan to grow the middle-class.
bulletstopper "My goodness, just a few months ago, Team Obama MSNBC was talking about the millions of $ that Team Obama collected."
When Obama collects $Millions, it's reported as good news.
When Romney collects $Millions, it's reported as devious.
That's the policy at msnbc.
When Obama reneged on accepting public financing in 2008 so he could outspend McCain by about $500 Million, msnbc said it was just 'good politics'. You can imagine what they would say if Romney had done that.
Sailcat-2064101 "President Obama continues to lead in the polls despite Romney's best effort"
It's pretty early in the game, but Obama is in serious trouble with such a minimal lead among 'Registered Voters', since they typically overstate the Democrat's strength by about 4% (Republicans are just more likely to vote), which would mean that Romney likely has a small lead among those who actually vote (Likely Voters).
Cases in point - In 2004, polls of Registered Voters just before the election had Kerry ahead by 2%, but polls of Likely Voters had Bush ahead by 2% - the actual result was Bush won by 2.4%. And in 2008, the pollsters that used Registered Voters had Obama winning by 11%, but he actually won by only 7% (if only 3.5% had changed their vote, McCain might have won).
One other point - Even pollsters know that the vast majority of 'Undecided Voters' typically go to the challenger by about 70%, so the 10% of Undecided Voters are more likely to vote for Romney (the 'This is not working, let's try something new' syndrome).
In any event, the polls are largely meaningless until after the conventions, which is when they start to solidify. With the economy and jobs staggering along, I wouldn't give Obama very good odds.
The President trying to prod Romney into releasing tax returns to show he paid taxes on his shell company in Bermuda probably means he didn't. Anyone truly believe the POTUS can't find out with a simple phone call? He just can't admit it because he'd be accused of abuse of power.
According to Feisty, I should be more worried about what Mitt does with his money than what Oblahblah does with mine........
It is interesting that when a Rep. like Mitt raises a lot of money for their campaign that it is somehow evil and when a Dem. like BO does it, it is somehow noble for many of you folks.
At this time i would like to remind you that BO outspent McCain almost 2 to 1 in 2008. That is AFTER he said he wouldn't. Can't have it both ways people. Yes, i understand that in your pea brains, you think you can but just thinking it don't make it so.
So what good is all of that money, if you're still and empty suit, Mitt? We know you Rethuglicans like to flash your bankroll every chance you get, just to make sure us peasants know are place. Here's a hint: It ain't working for ya' Contrary to what the Koch's and Norquist tell you, the election and the country isn't for sale. Go back to your mansions and enjoy your car elevators.
Glad to see all those Tax Breaks creating jobs!
correction: it's our place.
tonybeeerm - I know - it's been THAT kind of day. LOL!
Then why did Obama give all his billionaire bundler buddies billions OF TAX PAYER MONEY to fund all their green projects?
Then why did Obama spend $49.5 billion, $18 billion in future tax credits, etc. OF TAX PAYER MONEY to save the unions .... their $400 million in 2008 didn't buy anything?
(How many do you need?)
And if this election isn't for sale ... why did Obama boast about raising a BILLION .... why does he devote more time to raising money than the last 5 presidents combined?
bob - your lies and exaggerations are so childish. Please just get a life! Or go trotting after Romney - yeah - that's the ticket! Sheish!
Total corporate profits for 2011 were somewhere in the neighborhood of $2 TRILLION...
Corporations paid about $180 BILLION in Federal taxes (around 11%) and about $40 BILLION in state taxes (around 2%) for a total of around $220 BILLION, or approximately 11%...
The poorest 20% of American citizens pay approximately 17.5% in federal, state, and local taxes...
And in yet another disgusting display of arrogance, Con Edison, the utility company prominent in the NYC area, locked out it's hard-working employees AND suspended their health care benefits for its' employees and their families, made a PROFIT of $1 BILLION last year...
Kevin Burke, the CEO of Con Edison, made $9.5 MILLION last year alone...4.5 times what he made in 2007...
...and they want employee givebacks?
...and ignorant dolts like bOb don't see anything wrong with this?
EDIT:
Corporations paid about $180 BILLION in Federal taxes (around 9%)...
I hate to think what's been going on over at FOX Nation and the Blaze. bob-1805084 comes here because it's no fun over there where ignorant conspiracy crazies are a dime a dozen.
Seeking -
Still can't point out a statement / lie and refute it?
Ah ... what would you expect from someone that when asked ....
If the combined price of a bat and ball is $11 ... and the bat costs $10 more than the ball ... what does the ball cost?
And they not only can't come up with the right answer after a half hour .... they have the absolutely stunning stupidity to answer - THE BALL COST NOTHING! (And no ... getting a call from Feisty to give you the answer and trying to ooops it away 5 minutes later doesn't count.)
And didn't we have a deal, that if you couldn't answer that correctly .... you lose and have to put me on ignore so I don't have waste time with idiots?
Oh, and speaking of idiots .... Mickey -
See anything wrong with that?
Yea ... repubs push for tax reform all the time.
Why do Obama and the dems avoid fixing it?
All those rich companies not paying taxes must work to their benefit, huh?
bOb...putz...stop with the harping on the stupid math quizes already...nobody cares. Quit making a fool of yourself and grow up, little man.
Now that we got that little tidbit out of the way:
Trying to make sense of your posts is like trying to separate fly crap from pepper with boxing gloves on.
Who mentioned a political party? I certainly didn't...
You obviously DON'T see anything wrong with corporate raiders paying less in taxes than YOU do, yet you claim that healthcare is going to tax us into oblivion...you stick up for these @!$%#s like they have you in their best interest. Well, I got news for you jack: THEY DON'T.
We get it: You HATE President Obama...the question is why, and just what are your motivations for coming here and making a complete and utter ass of yourself day after day...Do you really think you're going to change anyones' mind?
You really are ignorant...go back to FoxNation and The Blaze...your seat is getting cold.
You want to play too?
Same deal, answer a 4th grade question correctly and tell the FR world you da man .... miss it .... and you have to put me on ignore so I don't have to waste time responding to idiots?
Let me know when you are ready?
Ive got a question- what happened to the thread about the Toledo Obama visit? The one with the picture of about two dozen doughty souls listening to the desperate pleas of a failed president?
Guess the picture/thousand words connection was too clear?
I just read an article about Burger King. It was taken private by 3 private equity firms including Bain Capital in 2002. They pulled out nearly a billion dollars in special dividends leaving the company pretty much a cadaver. Now they're taking it public again to try and compete with McDonalds but where McDonalds has spent it's money expanding Burger King has enriched the private equity firms. This is what Romney wants to do to America. I guess lowering your own tax rates and raising them on everyone else is easier than bankrupting companies.
HA! All you nay sayers supporting Obama have to realize this is a case of the real American people backing thier hope for the future to rid us of a Socialist Agenda. Unlike Obama whose supporters were fat cat Hollywood la la types or those that could not contribute because they don't get enough government hand outs to do so, oh and of course Soros, Romney is getting support from the people. That is who is supposed to be in charge of our country. Read and weep for the pitiful one who is now riding the bus he had made in Canada at our expense to try to make people believe he gives a hoot about anything but getting re-elected so he can have as he told the Russians "more flexibility". Not on our dime! And someone needs to investigate just where the expenses for another bus tour are being sent. The tax payer legally should not pay for this campaign jaunt.
.
Got to hand it to you, Bob. That's the best post you've ever put on here. Short, simple and concise. Keep it up and I may even give you a vote up someday.
President Obama - Millions of people giving him hundreds of dollars to get re-elected.
Governor Romney - Hundreds of people giving him millions of dollars to get elected.
GOP for Smaller Govt, Reduced Spending but what's this type of Wasting money telling us. Someone is truly lying. Someone will recoupe this investment. Corporations don't want to hire but want to blow this insane amount of money to elect their choice. What does that tell the middle class. Class Warfare?... You tell me!
Still waiting on (and wanting) a sunshine law that requires any organization of any kind (PNP, business organization, PAC, SuperPAC, Union, etc.) that presents a political message on either a topic or a political candidate to have a donor list available that provides information on who donated and how much.
Let's see who supports what.
Matthew - I'm still for total campaign reform. $10 million max and three months to run a campaign. You go outside the lines - you can't run. We'd have less stupidity and a real discussion of issues - with no one trying to BUY the White House!
Obama/Biden 2012
Seeking- that still doesn't stop the outside and "uncoordinated with the campaign" entities from throwing in their money and resources.
I learned long ago that if you turn the light on the cockroaches scurry and try to hide.
I like the if you run for a federal office, then all unspent campaign funds default to the federal government. Same principle for State or local office. Force the incumbent to validate his/her position through a truer and less financially biased re-election campaign.
Yes, I know this doesn't address the fact that the incumbent should have a more solid base and organization in place, but it's at least something that helps to level the playing field.
Whether it's GPS Crossroads or Moveon.org, they say, this ad paid for by such and such entity. But you are right, unless these entities have to provide a list of their donors, that won't matter.
For something like ALEC, the list of participating companies is so long, you have to Google it. Viewers aren't going to do that.
I like how PBS runs through a list of individuals, trusts and companies that actually funded a program -- some include the Koch brothers. If they want to take credit for good they do, then apply the same concept for the negative lies in an ad, huh?
I was intrigued by Romney's schedule. He will leave the lake home on Sunday...then a series of more fundraisers for next week all over the country, from the Hamptons to Colorado .
Where are the press interviews, where are his campaign stops with real middle class people?
Maybe his stradegy is to run his campaign only with TV ads, and surrogates like T-Paw and assorted Senators speaking for him.
What is he hiding from?
My point was just made on MSNBC.
I heard my first superpac ad by American Progress or Prosperity. The name was on the screen for about 2 seconds. It was full of soundbites that attacks the Heathcare Law as a tax on the middle class ....
Why isn't Romney talking in detail about why he wants to repeal the law and the details of what he will have for a replacement?
The GOP campaign by remote control has begun.
I never heard the left complain in the 2008 election when Obama promised to take federal funding, as did McCain, then Obama changed his mind. Obama outspend McCain by millions of dollars, but I never heard a complaint from the left. Then last year Obama's campaign said they wanted to raise ONE BILLION for the reelection of Obama, now they know they can't meet that goal so they are walking it back.
Obama, like all incumbents, have spent millions of tax payers money, giving campaign speeches across the country only to pass them off as "Policy Speeches".
sfcret - that goal will be met and probably surpassed. I'm still not happy about it. We spend way too much on campaigning.
Obama/Biden 2012
Our elected officials are for sale.
Its been a partial truth for a while. I mean we always knew that they were beholden to their contributors, but the difference these days is that the contributions are no longer capped.
With campaign finance laws being the way they are now, the Repubs want the status quo because its working for them. The Dems want changes because they are being out-spent. Its a matter of time before this trend reverses.
But the cat is out of the bag - money is what does it and those that have it tend to win.
Isn't it a matter of time before a country like China or Sudi Arabia just "pays for" and fully funds a senator or congress-person? Or maybe its already occured? Its just a matter of funnelling the money to the right politican.
Overall, our greed for moeny and power is our undoing - in the great US of A, that's what we are about
$100 MILLION! All that money going to waste! The 99% American People sure could have used it to help put food on the table for their children while they scrimp & save to buy the corrupt Republican OIL corporates' gasoline!! How ridiculous! All for PROTECTING their corrupt Republican corporate MONARCHY that has MADE SLAVES of the 99% American People! If it isn't OIL corruption, it's FINANCIAL corruption and if it's not either of these it's INSURANCE corruption! When in the hell is it going to end?
99% American People, we've been MADE SLAVES OF by their corruption! It's time for change, and that time is NOW! Not later, but RIGHT NOW!! Vote 100% STRAIGHT DEMOCRATIC, the lives you save WILL be YOURS & your CHILDREN! BELIEVE IT!
hungry people could have used the billions given to "green" companies that went bankrupt yet had enough $ in the company to pay themselves millions in "bonuses".
Romney's off-shore accounts created exclusively for the purpose of avoiding taxes will not play well in the fall. Some investigative reporter is going to get a tip and blow the lid off Romney's carefully planned secret stashes. This more than anything will indelibly mark him as a fat cat whom the middle class cannot trust.
Money will not be a problem for Romney. He will have all that he needs.
He's just short in the areas of brains, integrity, common sense, and honesty. That could be a problem.
Sailcat,
You could just as easily be talking about Obama.
Ah, but I wasn't. I was obviously talking about ol' Etch-A-Sketch. Try to keep up, okay?
They will both have more money than they need.
I remember in 2008 when everyone was thrilled at the money Obama raised. I was among you. Many of you claiming "big deal" and making other derogatory remarks did the same.
The difference between us?
I have seen Obama for what he is: a failed President.
It thrills me to no end that Obama is being beaten in the financial contributions arena. It is yet just another sign he is to lose in November 2012.
If your candidate is a creep with no coherent message other than kvetching about the economy, this is all money pissed into the wind.
It is not so UN-believable, that the lefties are squealing so loud about our Future President Mitt Romney's fundraising, there negative whining is laughable because, and, I know you can't help it, you see your guy imploding rt----> before your eyes. since President Obama is doing so much fundraising "gonna raise a billion"and the results are not panning out for him. Sorry demi's better luck never again, If that is all you have got Then? a whiner/blamer worthless excuse for a leader then it is back to the windy with you BarrY Hussein Obama mmm mmm mmm m. do not worry fisty and fiends will welcome you back to your comm. org. gig on the so. side.

Vote, NO, too barrY "just say no" to BHO mmm mmm MMM
con: Like the Repubs have been whinning ever since President Obama took office....like that?
Like the Repubs are whinning about the SCOTUS upholding ACA? They are whinning on Fox, whinning here, whinning everywhere.
Poor Elephants....took a hit on immigration, took a MAJOR hit on ACA...and they know they can't win the WH.
ACA fiasco, immigration fiasco will all but ensure Mitt will win.
Obama's failures are too severe to ignore, and most moderates are waking up to the fact that Obama just isn't up to the job. Don't send a community orgainzer in to do a job that requires skills and experience.
If the Dems had a backbone and put someone else in the race, and dumped BO, then this would be a whole different story. But head to head, Obama can't hold a candle to Romneys experience.
We need serious help, Obama inherited a bad situation and made it MUCH WORSE!!! We need change to have any hope of getting out of the the Bush/Obama tsunami of debt and incompetence.
All the billionnaires donating to both campaigns, but much more to Mitts are business people....they ALWAYS expect a return on their "investment". The return is sweetheart deals with the government, policies they favor, laws they want to increase their profits...for example lower corporate taxes, no minimum wage, not having to give employees benefits.
Mitt would have had to appease his investors if he won....which he won't...but his investors are desparate because they know they can not control President Obama and he is working for the average American.
And BTW anyone, anyone who can even think for 1 second about putting a dog in a carrier on the roof of a car for 12 hours....12 hours! And going 60 miles an hour....and when the dog crapped and vomited....hosed it off the car.....kept the dog on the roof! There is absolutely no one I know who would even consider for 1 second putting a dog in a carrier on the car roof. Mitt is not playing with a full deck and he has zero humanity...for animals or people.
And that's just what's on the books! Who knows they could have the ex-Enron accounting folks cooking them!
That's alot to pay for, "it's a tax".
Okay - so everyone knows the Koch brothers and Sheldon Adelson have lots of money to spend to elect a stooge who will let them rip off Americans who work for a living.
Too bad that kind of money won't buy Willard Romney a back bone. He flip-flops on every possible issue, and hides behind his wife when he's challenged on his history at Bain Capital and asa state governor. People don't trust him because he tries to avoid actually taking a stand on anything.
I guess the Koch's and Adelson think the American publicare dumb enough to elect this waffling coward just because they are willing to buy an election.
rachel: why aren't you discussing
what the koch brothers and others want in return for their 400 million donation.
maybe they will want mitt to pay them back by opening the arctic national
wildlife refuge for massive drilling, or massive offshore drilling on all the
coasts, less fracking rules, or drilling in the national parks. fewer rules on
dirty coal power plants. what ever it is it wont be pretty and they will demand
to be paid back ten times over. please discuss these quid pro quo realities.
I guess many here are not aware of the the next big thing coming to a economy close to you.
Shall, I share a bit of crystal clear future with you?
If you take it to heart you can all take advantage of the opportunity to enrich your life and pocketbook.
The inevitable Domestic energy boom is upon us in order of succession:
Oil & Natural gas,Coal first; Wind, Hydroelectric, Nuclear,secondary, Thirdly biomass, Solar distant last not until 2020 will solar play a viable part in global economic impact.
Therefore, Those who choose too, can and will profit and sustain a equitable living from the economic impact of the domestic energy boom. (all industries will be impacted favorably) From Arby's to xylophones and so on...
Barack Obama will share in this fortune also, however only from the side lines, Sorry he had his Half at Quarterback now he is injured and has to sit out the rest of the game. He knows this is inevitable if you could ask him and he told you the truth he would agree, One-n-done ...
President Romney Is the Man best equipped & available to lead the US in to this Prosperous endeavor. With his background in business and connections with financial leaders world wide. He will do a good job leading America down the track that South Dakota & Canada have already started on.
It is a pity, that some of you will have to be dragged kicking and screaming and some will choose to be left behind, Too bad for that really. I say get with the program, align with the future, be productive.
vote
bs, romney has hired GWB advisors. Americans DO NOT and WILL NOT go back to the bush era policies
EXCELLENT!
Now we have the funds to get real change in DC.
Every penny spent on un-electing Obama is an investment in America!
I'll keep giving to Romney campaign. Don't like him all that much, but compared to Obama, there is no choice, we need to make a CHANGE to restore HOPE!!!
NObama 2012! Save America!!!
Psychologists tell us that 4% of the population are sociopaths, totally self-focused individuals without any conscience, and that a full 64% are followers, those led around by the manipulations of others, which leaves only 32% as self-thinking, conscience driven individuals, divided among all the possible biases. When realizing that it then becomes rather easy to understand how “the money” can feel so cocky confident in their ability to spend their mega-millions to successfully con the people and manipulate public opinion. Since the supreme court has ruled to allow “the money” to spend all they want, it is now only possible to compete by spending as much as they do - and “the money” is laughing all the way to the elections.
Mitt, you can raise a billion and Americans will NOT let you "lie and buy" this election.,
Thank goodness Romney was able to get the money needed to create an Plutocracy in which the wealthy class rules, which has been set up well by the supreme court's decision to throw in the towel on democracy. I have to show my ID to vote as a PERSON, but any anoynmous entity can buy America without truth or transparency. But, I do have one stark memory from the past of a nation of protesting Americans stopping the Vietnam War and claiming civil rights for African Americans and women. Do not underestimate the power of the 99% to reclaim the democracy that was bought by a few masked men.
Romney totally used ID theft to get where he is-he broke into one of MY families systems and some of the terrorists that held us hostage broke into something else of our bloodline (shcoal) and now our USS ship are in China over it-and Iran says they are going to bomb us-hes a fraud thats in bed with a war criminal.(he used ponzi metro InL ID-a loan officer,and then into one of MY family satellites ,under my uncles iD -ponzi)
Well ,atleast he might have money to pay the ICC and FPPC lawsuits against him-he robbed my family and I while we were fighting with Bush and Fienstien durring crimes against humanity Bush adm.and we were also working on war criminals equip.melt-so I have a new ICC case(we DO have a ICC ruling of ownership),I'm living in my UN Vehicle ,some of my family held as political hostages ,and he used the mortage frauds stuff to get in our space equip. and personal family systems at March AFB (we are Wright Brother relatives and Fowler Foster Oil and Gas) so he and Costner and Baldwin were all stealing from us durring those battles plus Cynthia Murphy stealing our blueprints-and yes,I invented oil vac systems while I worked undercover at KIRBY-who do these as*s think they are fooling-with the trouble US has had with our military oil ships and D.O.T.Wright comm. vehicles,and I am in my UN Van in this heat asking people for a buck so I can get something cold to drink and they are livin it up with Obviously stolen eqipt. in front of ICC-and romney wife emails me and tells me how great her mothers day was,and I dont know where my child is,or if the terrorists are still setting her hair on fire.
All I can say about that is......whaaaaaat haaaaaaappened?
