According to a new report from USA Today, GOP mega donor Paul Singer is helping fund the National Immigration Forum (NIF) for its Evangelical Immigration Table (EIT) initiative. Singer is the founder and CEO of Wall Street hedge fund Elliott Management Corporation and the man who made Mitt Romney's 2012 campaign for president happen.
“Ali Noorani, the forum's [NIF’s] executive director, said financial resources for the Evangelical Immigration Table's efforts are coming from a range of supporters, including new conservative donors such as Paul Singer -- a hedge fund manager and major donor to Mitt Romney's 2012 presidential campaign,” USA Today’s Erin Kelly wrote on Wednesday.
Singer was not just any major donor to Romney's campaign, he was the major donor. By all accounts, Singer was the reason why Romney won the GOP nomination to face off against Obama.
“[P]erhaps none of Romney's Wall Street supporters will be more crucial to the candidate's success, or have more influence on his thinking, than Paul Singer,” Fortune Magazine’s Michelle Celarier wrote in April 2012.
Romney is so close with Singer that he invested his own money with the donor's hedge fund. "According to Romney's financial disclosures, the trust managing his more than $200 million fortune has at least $1 million invested with Elliott," Fortune's Celarier added.....

To the headline: not surprised
I absolutely hate all the commercials begging me to pray for illegal amnesty.
So South Park was right all along. It really is just a popularity contest between a giant douche and a turd sandwich.
Did you mean “pay,” or do you really mean “pray”? What state are you in? I’ve not seen or heard any commercials like that. What group is pushing it?
There are so many people with so very much money and means out there influencing USA politics it will be a miracle from the Divine power in which the Founder’s had great faith to put the ordinary patriotic citizen back in control as first intended.
I haven’t seen one either.
As I grow older, I have developed a certain distaste/distrust for ANYONE who wants to be a politician.
If you think about it, why would anyone want to be a politician? Think about your lowliest city council member up to the President. Why do they want these positions? I believe because they start off wanting to manage with good intentions. However, the more power they get the more controlling and corrupt they get. It seems to be an unwritten law within politics. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
I think Michael Savage got this right today,
that while Romney is certainly not very conservative.. and far from most of our ideas of an ideal nominee....
had he been elected at least we could sleep at night
Inconceivable!
“These are ideas that should have bipartisan support,” Obama said of his education priorities. “Of course, so should Obamacare, it’s actually a really good idea. It’s going to work. It used to be a Republican idea. There’s a governor of Massachusetts who set it up. It’s working well.”

This says a TON about Romney.. maybe several tons..
Republicans don’t even know TODAY(now) that the republican primary’s were rigged...
What about the next republican primary’s?...
No doubt most all republican DON’T WANT KNOW either..
The reality is too nasty to contemplate...
Talk about delusion..
It would be cool to let all of the illegals live at Singer’s house as they travel down the Freeway to the Big Pinata. He can buy their groceries and pay their medical bills. Its sounds like he has the money.
Republican primary with ONE moderate (RINO) and many socons, guess who is going to win? Duh..........divide & conquer always works. May be the socons will wise up and field just ONE candidate in 2016? Nah...I dream too much. Their ego’s won’t allow that will it?
votes were rigged....
