The Washington Post ^ | 09/10/12 | Aaron Blake

Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign announced early Monday that it raised $111.6 million during the month of August, its single best month of the campaign and the third straight month it has raked in more than $100 million.

President Obama’s campaign has not announced its August fundraising totals yet, but he has been significantly outraised by Romney over the last two months.

Problem is, I'm a 6th-generation Californian. Deep roots.

Well God love ya for trying mightily to survive out there. I was born there and left in 1976 to join the Air Force. While I go to CA to visit family, I would never move there.

Obama raised 114 million in August. So I’d call that a stand still.

Yes only $2.4 million difference in fund raising for the month. Romney since April has raised more money than Obama. Obama has spent and spent so I don't think he has much in the tank. However, the R/R campaign raised $101.3 million in July and $106.1 million in June, and they reported to have $168.5 million on hand.

Or, just do what I am doing not watching the TV News.(This does include FOX) It is all bogus poll results anyway and this does make me mad too. Nothing worse then a mad conservative. Why don’t the few conservative reporters on TV just keep talking about all of the lies said at the DNC convention. That would be supportative.

Great....he’s got the cash, but he’s not getting the message out and frankly, there’s too many Americans that are counting on the Obama-Govt handouts, and there’s enough misguided Democrats that love drinking the liberal kool-aid... by any measure of intelligence, Romney should be leading in every poll and be in the 60% neighborhood... the fact that its close with BO leading in too many of the pols doesn’t bode well for the Republicans. I don’t think half the country is stupid, its close tho....but I do think that more half this country doesn’t really give a $hit.

That's a really big number. I don't think anybody can match that.

From what I’m seeing out of the “media”, it’s Barry Soetoro All Of The Time. If you ask them about it, they’ll reply, “Romney who?” It’s Barry the Messiah Time!!!

Do not bother with FOXNEWS, I was an addict until I realized how bad they actually are. O’Reilly bleats, Hanity screeches and Shep is gay. I do like Greta but only because she is a Packer Fan. I see my wife get so angry when she watches FOX, that is what they are trying to elicit from viewers, emotion. Life is to short, to be angry over Hannity or some snarky pundit like Juan Williams. I am voting against Obama so I do not need FOX to validate my opinions. It is liberating, try ignoring them it is fun.

“Obama raised 114 million in August. So I’d call that a stand still.”

Source? I’ve only read that the 0bamam camp has not released their August fundraising totals.

I heard this touted over and over on FNC this afternoon. I thought that they said $113,000,000.

What the heck is he doing with all that money? Obama is forging ahead. They had better start doing something or we will lose- AGAIN! __________________

It is important in 2012 to remember 9/11 because our younger generations are the most in danger of forgetting what really happened- or worse, our younger generations are susceptible to getting a politically correct view of 9/11. Many on the Left have tried to turn 9/11 into a “day of national service” or a celebration of tolerance, instead of remembering that radical jihad attacked this nation because of our western values.

Watch this moving tribute to the heroes of 9/11 composed by a man who lived through it:

http://www.frugalsites.net/911/attack/

(music by Enya)

Every American should watch this amazing video.

Also from the page, view the 'Pentagon Tribute Page', 'Anatomy Of The Attack' and 'Explanation Of Page'. Don't miss the heartbreaking 'That Day', In Author's Own Words.

It is the most viewed video of all, and is now in the Smithsonian.

What good is all this money if he continue to run such lame-ass ads that refuse to attack Obama?

RINO’s only attack conservatives. They never attact their team mates.
