The GOP's Top 25 Sugar Daddy list

  • These are the folks who will be trying to buy the White House for a Mitt Romney presidency.

    Never forget "Corporations are people"

    From link2:

    "Mitt’s own coterie of Wall Street vulture capitalists is second to none in rapaciousness—starting with the hedge-fund gambler John Paulson, who collaborated with Goldman Sachs on his megabet against the entire American housing industry before the crash. Another Romney hedge-fund patron, Paul Singer, is notorious for slick trafficking in Third World debt, with results that leave the destitute masses of countries like the Congo in a far sadder state than the hapless Goldman clients (those “muppets” we’ve been hearing about) on the losing end of Paulson’s big score. Romney also has an affinity for fellow Mormons who’ve made sugar-­daddy fortunes by peddling dubious “health products” sold by “multilevel marketing” schemes (a.k.a. pyramid selling) in which retail sales are secondary to the commissions tied to roping more suckers into the sales force. In addition to Lund of Nu Skin, there’s Frank VanderSloot, the Professor Marvel behind Melaleuca, an ­Idaho-based company that promises to help “moms be moms” and “earn a corporate income from home,” even if they don’t have the financial cushion of, say, Ann Romney. Though a promotional video on its website features women who claim to have earned as much as $500,000 selling goods like dietary supplements (which purport to remedy clogged arteries and arthritis), the average Melaleuca peddler makes just $87 per year. An industry critic, Robert L. FitzPatrick, elucidated for Mother Jones how companies like Melaleuca and Nu Skin are perfect examples of the vulture-capitalist business model: They set “the average person upon his neighbor to get at his assets, savings, and investments.” Romney, meanwhile, has applauded VanderSloot for having “vision and sense of social responsibility” that are “second to none.”

    I've tried to tell you how important it is to actually read the links you are commenting on BEFORE you comment. Your top 25 list has only has 8 that are attributed soley to Romney, and in total $ amounts he still trails Santorum and Gingrich roflmao

    The primary is over, do you not keep up with these things or is this just attributed to your failing memory?

    I'm not concerned about candidates trying to buy the election; I'm more interested in the people who are trying to buy the election for the candidates. I always wonder what a politician owes someone who's given millions of dollars to help win him the office. This affects both parties, and most politicians are whores, so we should all want an end to unlimited campaign funding.

    Did you read the article?
    Do you realize the SuperPac money you are talking about doesn't count in Mitt's stock pile.

    You are one oblivious MF'er or you are intentionally obfiscating.

    Are you trying to tell us than Romney and his supporters will spend more money on the campaign than Obama?

    Are you factoring in the $149k/hour cost of Obama's 747 that the taxpayers are paying for all of his working trips to battleground states?

    Considering that Romney is getting 0.92 of every dollar coming from Wall Street theis go round and you immeadiately try to tie in presidential plane costs show you were once again talking out of your ass, got caught and are now scrambling.

    This is the first campaign post Citizen's United and Romney is going to have untold millions at his disposal through "independent" PACs that will at least balance out the "official" money the Obama campaign raises. If you don't want to admit it it just lines up with the rest of the disingenuous posts you have made in the past.

    Use of the Presidential plane is called a benefit if being the incumbant. Just like Reagan, Clinton and Bush2 had in their 2nd campaigns.

    No. You act as if Mitt is the first person with rich supporters running for Prez.

    Take a lookat your own guy, OBama. A one term junior Senator with zerop executive experience and not much political experience getting propped up the the dem money machine to buy the WH.

    Its a moot point to talk about this and this is why nothing gets done. All the prez does once elected is appoint his buddies and financial backers to positions they know dick about, and it hurts the country, rela bad.

  • Obama will get plenty of cash from big money donors, but in the end the bulk of his money will come from small individual donors who give $500 or less. The opposite will be true for Mitt Romney, the overwhelming majority of his campaign money will will be spent by the Super PACs and a handful of millionaires and billionaires. Without Citizens United Romney might get outspent by a 3 or 4 to 1 margin as he doesn't have nearly the number of individual donors that Obama has, with Citizen's United it should be close to even.

    Say what you want about either candidate, but this is definitely a cash race between individual donors and billionaires.

    You libs really struggle trying to answer simple questions.

    I wasn't asking for a Wall Street/Citizen's United/PAC dissertation. I was simply asking if you are telling us Romney will have as much money to spend as Obama.

    I think somewhere in there, your answer is "yes". We will see.

    I'm pretty sure you could go through that Sugar Daddy list and find a lot of people I haven't ever posted about. But I did post this, in this very thread (again, look into the English language - it could prove useful):

    That was a general statement. What in particular concerns you about George Soros?

    Is there supposed to be something super-extra-terrible about George Soros, beyond making big political donations? I'm against unlimited political donations for both sides, while you're apparently only concerned about George Soros. Let me know what makes him worse than everyone else and I'll be happy to look over whatever information you have.
