Rand Paul to Meet Top Romney Donors in Boston
national review ^ | March 18, 2014

Posted on 04/18/2014 9:52:49 PM PDT by Bigtigermike

Rand Paul will do his best to charm a group Mitt Romney’s top donors next week at an event facilitated by Romney finance director Spencer Zwick.

The Friday luncheon will take place in Boston at the offices of Zwick’s private-equity firm, Solamere Capital, according to a source familiar with the event. Romney’s eldest son Tagg is also a managing partner at the firm, and Romney is the executive chairman.

The event is yet another signal that Paul is preparing a for a serious presidential bid in 2016. Two years before the GOP primary, Paul is attempting to branch out beyond his libertarian-leaning base, and the ability to tap some of the establishment donors who helped Romney raise over $1 billion in 2012 will be critical to that effort.

I have mentioned a couple of times, that they have a similarity to each other, and it keeps increasing.

BUMP!

_______

” - - - Romney, who opted out of the public financing system, was the first Republican to raise over $1 billion. - - - “

Yup, Conservatives will not vote for a Republican Socialist, regardless of the politician’s Campaign spending.

Fortunately Sheldon Adelson and other Patriots will wield their influence to stop Rand Paul. A core principle of the Free Republic's defense of liberty is articulated by the boss below:

Believing that the best defense is a strong offense, we (myself and those whom I'm trying to attract to FR) support the strategy of taking the fight to the enemy as opposed to allowing the enemy the luxury of conducting their attacks on us at home on their terms and on their schedule.

Therefore, we wholeheartedly support the Bush Doctrine of pre-emptive strikes on known terrorist states and organizations that are believed to present a clear threat to our freedom or national security. We support our military, our troops and our Commander-in-Chief and we oppose turning control of our government back over to the liberals and socialists who favor appeasement, weakness, and subserviency. We do not believe in surrendering to the terrorists as France, Germany, Russia and Spain have done and as Kerry, Kennedy, Clinton and the Democrats, et al, are proposing.

Sheldon Adelson? A Patriot? Please. Quite the contrary. He’d just as soon destroy America as any Socialist Dim. Don’t make me laugh. He is a self aggrandizing narcissist. He would throw you under any bus if it would make him a dime.

Right there with you. I do not think he would make a good President. Better yes, than what is living in the white hut right now, but that is not saying much.

Sheldon Adelson? A Patriot? Please.

We obviously differ when it comes to Mr. Adelson. My reason for characterizing this great man as a Patriot stems from his unwavering support for Newt Gingrich in the 2012 Republican primaries. And, as I'm sure you'll recall, Jim Robinson and Free Republic endorsed Congressman Gingrich. It seems to me that both Mr. Robinson and Mr. Adelson are on the same team.

Undoubtedly this is part of his deal with McConnell—access to GOP-E high rollers in exchange for support against Bevin.
