After reading this, elsewhere, I sent Romney an email saying basically: I sent you money but no more since you appear committed to losing like McCain and Dole before you.
Found a copy of the email I saved. Here it is:
“Dear Mitt,
I have given you money and was going to give you more and possibly work for your campaign locally. I have decided to do no more to help your campaign. You are going to lose. I will not support a candidate who is not serious about winning. I will vote for you but that’s it. You are listening to the same timid, frightened strategists who influenced Bob Dole’s losing campaign and John McCain’s losing campaign. They will lose for you too. You admit that Obama’s campaign will be based on character assassination yet state you plan to take the supposed “high road” and base your campaign on the economy. Why? It’s not like character assassination would be hard with Obama, he has no character. His upbringing by Communists and his voluntary and preferred association with Communists throughout his life should be fair game. His past is more a mystery than any other President in history. Who vetted him and how he was vetted should be a matter of national interest. It appears that every document Obama has produced to substantiate his past is false. I’m not a birther by any means but it appears Obama has gone to extreme lengths to hide much of his past. These are all valid topics to be raised in your campaign. The economy is a large issue and important to all Americans but it isn’t going to be enough. Obama sycophants in the media and academia will tell the public the economy is not Obama’s fault and his policys have prevented a bad situation from being worse. When your statements on the economy have been discredited and your proposed future policys ridiculed you will have nothing left. Were you paying attention in 2008? Your whole history, your business associates, your friend’s and family’s histories are all going to be put under intense and hostile scrutiny by the mainstream media en masse. Any slightly derogatory information they turn up will be immediately seized upon by Democrat super PACs and incorporated into ads designed to damage and discredit you. It’s not too late, Obama is vulnerable. If you insist on taking the supposed “high road” you will be private citizen Mitt Romney after the election. If you didn’t plan on winning then why did you even run?”
No answer from Team Romney yet.
