Let’s all just be thankful that its him and not Ron Paul who has a personal fortune.
I don't care if he writes his own checks or not but if you have grass roots support it's not a requirement as it seems to be in Romney's case.
I don’t believe that conservatism is for sale to the highest liberal bidder.
Liberalism is.
If I were a gazillionaire I’d probably run myself. I come closer to my own political philosophy than anyone else I know. Very rarely do I get in political arguments with myself and even rarer do they become physically violent.
Shut up Graybeard you dumb ass.
I don’t have to take that crap from you.
I’ll take my meds now.
There is a reason as to why Romney has failed to get a solid fundraising core (aside from himself). It’s because the vast majoirty of people are weary of giving money to people who’s positions on the issues could take a radical change within 15 minutes of their donation.
Simply, Romney is a liberal. His record would indicate that he is even more so liberal than Giuliani. The same Giuliani who cast a vote for George McGovern in 1972. That is sad, and that is why the conservative base of the GOP has not gotten behind Romney. The real question at this point if you’re Mitt is; “How much more of my personal wealth do I plan to waste?”
At least Romney is investing in himself. Unlike Soros who has an even bigger fortune that he’s investing in all manner of left wing organizations that seem to have one objective: to smear Republicans. Does AP write about that ?
Romney made his money the old fashioned way, he earned it.
If he has the money to spend on his own campaign to supplement that of donors, then that makes him a more competitive general election candidate. Especially, as he hasn't exactly been a slouch at getting money from donors as well.
This is why I am giving money to both F. Thompson, and Guiliani (Shudder)..
It may be the ONLY way to block him!
