Spectator, I have no illusions about the nature of liberalism. Attack audits, building code compliance reviews targeting political opponents, and similar issues are abuses of government power which have a long history in Chicago politics going way back before Obama moved to that city.

As far as I can tell, to date, all that has been done against VanderSloot is the same sort of thing that we would applaud if it were being done by conservative opposition researchers to a major liberal donor.

We have every right in the world to know the political and ideological and business backgrounds of major donors to a political campaign. It shows the sort of people who back a candidate, and gives important clues to who will influence the candidate if elected.

Let me repeat here: I'm not saying this because I supported Santorum against Romney. I like VanderSloot’s views on homosexual marriage. I don't like his choice of candidate for president, but since the Republican race is all but over, Romney needs all the financial backing he can get.

Frankly, I think it's more than ironic that Romney is being attacked by Obama as being supported by militant anti-gay wealthy donors. What is Obama’s goal? Convince people like me, who don't like Romney, to vote for him because even if Romney is a “Massachusetts moderate,” he has big backers like VanderSloot who will keep Romney from being liberal on homosexual issues?

Are you saying you believe Obama’s goal is to get you to vote for Romney, by pretending that Romney is anti gay marriage when he really isn’t??

Excuse me, but that’s what I thought you said at the end of your post.

For any reason, no matter what, why would Obama’s goal be to get you to vote for Romney??

OR, by the words “vote for him”, did you mean convince you to vote for Obama?? Instead of Romney? But why would you do that, when the reason you don’t like Romney is because you supported Santorum on social issues and for other, conservative ideological, reasons?

Frankly, I’m lost in trying to understand.

“is being attacked by Obama as being supported by militant anti-gay wealthy donors.”

It’s ALL ABOUT THE MEME...

Now that Obama has his mostly-gay mainstream media/Hollywood base in line, the goal is to paint ALL Republicans as bigots.
