Near the front of the pack are 19 Obama donors from 2008 who are giving big to Romney.

The 19 have already given $4.8 million to Romney’s presidential campaign and the super PAC supporting it through the end of April, according to a POLITICO analysis of Federal Election Commission filings. Four years ago, they gave Obama $213,700.

None of them has given a penny to the president’s reelection campaign or the super PAC supporting it.

Wall Street's vote: Romney by a landslide - Abby Phillip and Kenneth P. Vogel - POLITICO.com
 
I am not worried about the money, just who the candidates are affiliated with and what experience and opinions they have. Romney will not be getting my vote for many reasons.
 
Super PAC :roll:

Republican Party is just cheater.

Why are Republicans cheaters when Democrats do exactly the same thing??? Our whole system is flawed but it is currently better than most. Both sides are to blame. Even the citizens are partly to blame for allowing it to happen.

And Obama is a liar. He promised to cut the deficit by half. Instead, he doubled it then got our National Credit rating downgraded.

Obama is not getting my vote because Romney can get us out of the economic mess his administration created.

because it is very easy for Republican Party to get money after Super PAC started in 2010 due to business friendly so I considered them as biggest cheater, IMO.

Ban on Super PAC so both sides will play fair.

No, Obama isn't liar - only problem is the congress.

GOP effectively prevented his policies from kick in to cut the deficit so I blame on congress.

I doubt that Romney will make you happy because... the congress and they will block everything.
 
Those with big bank accounts are using their tax cut money to protect their tax cut money. I would fully expect the GOP to outraise the Dems by a huge margin. This is hardly news. GOP is always better choice for the wealthy. If the voters are a 50/50 mix between the two parties, the percentage financially would look more like 90/10. I am amazed that the Dems ever win an election, being they are financially a poor investment for the wealthy.

Correct! They are but shades of the same thing; human nature. You see, people, sometimes the elites wear a democratic mask, sometimes a republican mask, but they're the SAME PEOPLE behind the scenes! The political process is a scheme designed to distract people with taking sides and dividing up people accordingly.

Both sides have it wrong on several things. One thing they do have wrong is money - they don't know what money really is nor how to make it work properly.

I need to add something - why are people bothering to mess with a candidate with a known connection to Allen Stanford and his ponzi scheme? That shows how stupid people are. Stupid as in Stargate's "Revisions" episode, where the team find people living in a dome on a planet rendered uninhabitable from pollution of technology run amok.

Yet, Obama is known for raising major cash and has the support of Billionaires like Buffett, Soros and Gates not to mention Hollywood... :hmm:

Sounds like they are saving their money cuz they are confident in their guy. See, I can spin this any way I want. I also thought you wanted Obama to win again, so he can keep "stepping in the poo" and increase your golfing options. Has that changed, or were you just covering your bases for either result?

Personally, I find it sad that elections cost the kind of money they do, when you consider that most of the investment is used for digging dirt and talking trash. As I said, I doubt it will be the biggest thing in my life come November. Whoever wins will inherit a mess.

You are combining different statements. I said I would vote for Obama over Paul. And I said if conservatives don't have a strong candidate we would be better off letting Obama deal with his mess. But the second statement wouldnt mean I am voting for Obama. I have also said I do not think Romney is a strong candidate. If Romney wins I think we will see Obama again in 2016. Ah the whims of men. I don't plan to pull a lever for either right now.

I don't see Obama winning 4 years from now. His best chance at 4 more years is right now. Personally, I don't like him, and wish there was a better opponent. Mitt will take us right back to the land of GWB. That might be a good thing for some, but a whole bunch of us would prefer something completely different than either of these two we will be seeing so much about in the coming months, most of those things negative.

If you think Obamacare is bad just wait until you see Romneycare. If you not do have health insurance in Massachusetts you could get free housing by going to jail and paying fines. Mitt has not said what government programs he will cut off. He will tell us if he win the election then it will be too late to do anything. I had never seen such a poor choose of candidates to vote for. This whole election is a nightmare. Our country is going down the tube with all the lying ,stealing, and cheating going on in both parties.

Blah blah blah...Obama is a liar ....blah blah blah...Socialist....not Bush's fault....blah blah blah.

I am absolutely shocked that you are voting for a GOP guy! GOP could have PeeWee Herman in a KKK hoodie as a candidate, and you would still choose him.
