Can this get any funnier? Romney Sells Inauguration Access, Nine Months Early!

Former Governor Mitt Romney is already offering top donors access to a special “Presidential Inaugural retreat,” planned on the assumption that he will be elected president this November.

The offer, in a fundraising email circulated by a top Georgia supporter to fellow Republicans and obtained by BuzzFeed, is one of several goodies offered to those who contribute more than $50,000 to the joint fundraising committee known as “Romney Victory,” a program whose outlines were first reported by POLITICO.

Those donors will be named “Founding Members” of Romney Victory and invited to a California retreat with Romney and offered “yet to be determined access at the Republican National Convention in Tampa in August.”

They will also “have preferred status at the first Presidential Inaugural retreat,” the email says…

But Romney already appears to be preparing to open his nascent administration to his top financial supporters, the email from Stormont suggests, and the email contains an unusual combination of promises of access and early measuring of the presidential drapes. It also lays out the cost of other levels of access. At one Georgia fundraiser, for instance, $10,000 is required to “get a photo with Governor Romney.”

A cool $50,000 reserves your seat at the “presidential inaugural retreat. [The copy of the email obtained by BuzzFeed was forwarded by Richard Stormont, a former executive at the Marriott hotel chain, on whose board Romney sat.]

I am astounded not only by the arrogance, but also the haste to have himself *deemed* the Republican nominee.

[Ronin]

Now that’s a stupid idea.

[SatinDoll]

Sickening, just sickening.

He has the personality of a dictator.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Romney is full of "stupid."

....."$10,000 is required to “get a photo with Governor Romney.”

The same as Michelle Obama was asking (5 in a group) at a DNC Chicago fundraiser last fall.

And Newt is ridiculed for asking $100 to help finance his primary campaign.

This is akin to the Golden State Warriors selling tickets to their “upcoming” NBA championship party.

Newt Gingrich to hold forum in Richardson [Texas this Monday] “Former House Speaker and Republican presidential contender Newt Gingrich is scheduled to hold a public forum Monday in Richardson.

The meeting is set for 4 p.m. at Pappasito's Cantina, 723 Central Expressway. Space is limited and the audience will be part of a 30-mintue question and answer period.”……..

Fred Grandy Interviews Newt Gingrich [Secure Freedom Radio] "Presidential candidate and former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich shares his foreign policy strategy for Middle East. Gingrich touches on every country of the region from Iran to Saudi Arabia to Turkey and finally Afghanistan and speaks about the policies that would be implemented in a Gingrich Presidency."

[Ronin]

This was just plain stupid. If there is anything he does not need it’s to irritate Conservatives even more than they already are. This is bound to infuriate people.

Seriously dumb political move.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

They’ve called the “game” for Mitt......

“The campaign opted against raising money for the general election while the primary was ongoing,”.....

Notice that there haven’t been any polls published since Santorum dropped out of the race. It is as though Romney has no challengers.

This is not a good ploy on the part of the MSM, ignoring a Republican who taught military strategy for 30+ years.

I wonder if he's schedule to appear together with Perry.

Three Years After Tea Party Rallies, Perry Presses On [skinning the budget monster - again]...."The rallies have subsided, and the ideas of the Taxed Enough Already folks have been subsumed into the mainstream Republican Party. Perry is still working it, though. On Monday, he will unveil a financial pledge and challenge candidates in Texas to sign on, agreeing to oppose new taxes and tax increases, to cut "duplicative" programs and agencies in state government, and to push budget ideas that he has been touting for years, like requiring lawmakers to spend state revenue collected for specific programs on those programs, instead of diverting the money to other uses.".......

So? You can damn well bet B. Hussein Obama has already got a 2nd term planned to the tee. And it includes continued pissing on Israel, more crushing of capitalism, and hatred of the Constitution.

I don’t buy the notion Mitt, with all his flaws, is equal to the Kenyan Communist. Not anywhere close.

Someone can be ignorant without being sinister.

[Timber Rattler]

They’re already planning high dollar pay-to-play “retreats.” And the GOP-E would have us vote for this nonsense?

[Timber Rattler]

Over here, dude!

[mosesdapoet]

While I’m reaing this I’m listening to WLS am 890 Chicago and WSJ (Wall Street Journal)news about what the Obama campaign is throwing at Romney. I’m sticking with my idea urging forks who have primaries on the 24 th to vote for Santorum

Check this nonsense out...GOP-E crony capitalism already on display!

It is your vote but Newt is the one who is still running.

Santorum has begun his walk toward party compliance.

[Diogenesis]

Ineligible ROMNEY DEEMS himself our King.

[MestaMachine]

Deja vu all over again.

[mosesdapoet]

That forks should have read folks ...Why Rick ? He stuck his heck out on that part of the Obamacare bill ..Newt was and is all over the place even now and because it is not in either Romneys or The Commie’s interest to bring up Obamacare it won’t happen. Actually War on Woemen is part of it but that comparison won’t be made
