Romney-tied PAC has taste for secrecy

Romney-tied PAC has taste for secrecy
[Millions in gifts tied to obscure or shell firms]

"Among all the super PACs that have brought a deluge of big-money donations
into the presidential nomination race, only the one allied with Mitt Romney
has established a pattern of accepting big contributions from corporate entities
that tend to obscure the actual source of the money or appear to have been created
specifically as vehicles to mask the wealthy donors.

Twice, the Restore Our Future super PAC has amended its reports
to the Federal Election Commission after media reports indicated
that contributions of $1 million and $250,000, respectively,
were made through dummy limited liability companies
to Restore Our Future.
In each case, individuals with past associations to Bain Capital,
the private equity firm founded by Romney,
acknowledged they were the true source."

The repub party is going to look dirty and sleazy with this guy. So when the repubs talk about corruption and sleaze with the dems, the average voter is going to tell them to shut up and fix their own problems.

With the finance laws we have now, North Korea could be buying our next President for all we know.

...OBozo's Media Chorus clears its throat, to sprew his falsehoods & disinformation;
the destruction of the GOP Establishment begins now...it actually started months ago.
w/ Myth (OBozo Lite) we're pretty much "screwed" in the General Election.

“The repub party is going to look dirty and sleazy with this guy”

Which is why I won’t have anything to do with him. I’ll write in someone first.

Careful Diogenesis, you’re going to incur the wrath of the “Their guy is worse than our guy” group by posting articles of substance such as this.

the problem is now the same stuff is happening with Priorities USA (Obama’s Super PAC). Priorities USA will likely have $500-700 million to work with, thanks to Soros and Buffett, among others. There is NO WAY that Restore our Future will get that much money.

No surprise here....his entire life is about ducking, hiding, avoiding, deceiving and programed to do so. Imagine what revenue stunts will be hidden if he’s President! There are massive companies and investments in LDS...I can imagine easily monies being channeled toward those who manage LDS Investments.

It’s all about money and power, and who will eventually wield both in the United States.

Gov. Romney is the candidate for the elitist Republicans who are, in essense, supporters of Globalism.

Globalism can have at least two different and opposing meanings. One (1) is the attitude or policy of placing the interests of the entire world above those of individual nations. The Second (2) is viewing the entire world as a proper sphere for one nation to project political influence.

The Republicans and Wall Street have refined the Second (2) in an attempt to dominate international commerce, the monetary structure, and projecting military strength to establish and protect the U.S.’s global national interests. This is neither conservative nor liberal in orientation and both Democrats and Republicans have been involved in this over the decades.

That is, until Obama arrived on the scene. He is the champion of Global Social Justice, just another name for international communism.

Romney, and Wall Street in particular, care not a wit for conservative values. First and foremost, they see themselves as world citizens, responsible for maintaining peace and security world-wide through commerce. And of course, getting rich is important, too, as it keeps the military ‘machine’ primed and ready to maintain the security necessary overseas for international commerce.

Unfortunately, that military is largely paid for by the tax revenue provided by U.S. citizens and staffed by their sons and daughters. Many of those citizens no longer have jobs, as those jobs have been moved offshore by the above mentioned “world citizens”.

The common man, or woman, on the street is just a “unit” to be taxed or obliterated, it matters not to them. The last thing that either group wants is for conservatives with Bibles and guns asserting their God-given rights and demanding that Washington, D.C., changes how it does business.

I’m perceiving this election as a choice between Fascism and Communism. For the majority of us, it ain’t much of a choice.

That's because he's a liberal who wears his self imposed cloak with 'R' on it. His record in MA proves it along with his LYING tongue and backstabbing.

No Romney fan; but like 'Restore' better than Soros/Ayers/Obama 'Change' per our future. Am guessing no Middle Eastern/'Arab Spring' money flowing into coffers either.

The Repub Party has made this Election a disaster and for that we can thank them; but not until after we win 2012 Election and not before.

Your vote of course; but why bother with a 'write-in'? May as well just pull lever for Obama.

United We Stand - holding our nose or not. If 'divided'; it will not matter.
