San Diego, CA --

Mitt Romney gave 18 million dollars of his own money to his campaign in the last three months of 2007. In total, he has poured 35 million dollars of his personal fortune into his campaign.

The Romney camp also reported raising 9 million dollars in donations in the fourth quarter equaling 53.5 million dollars for the entire year. The campaign spent 33.8 million during the last 3 months of the year equaling 87.6 million dollars spent in 2007. The camp reports having 2.4 million dollars cash on hand at the end of the year. The campaign did not release any numbers for January meaning that Romney may have donated even more than 35 million dollars to his campaign.

The camp launched an aggressive ad blitz today signaling that former Massachusetts governor may have used more of his vast wealth, which is estimated at upwards of 250 million dollars.

Campaigns were required to file their end of the year finance reports today with the Federal Election Commission.

“That’s why no real Conservative can ever support a pathological liberal liar like Romney.”

Worth repeating.

More ad hominem junk. Is this what debate has come to on FR?

This is the Prime Directive of the Romney Sleaze Machine.

I couldn’t agree with you more.

I know it. Anyone who criticizes Flip is to be called, in the following order:

1. Jealous of his money.

2. A liar.

3. Personally unattractive.

4. A Hillary supporter

5. A McCain supporter.

6. A Mormon hater.

7. A traitor.

I am waiting for John McAmnesty to acknowledge his assumption that money bought votes was false. The only logical conclusion is for John McNofreespeech to renounce his landmark pile of anti-Constitutional tripe “McLame/Feingold” and call for the repeal of that legislation.

Well, I’ll be working for Mitt here in Virginia for the 12th.

In my real life I’ll be doing what I always do.

And seriously, this isn’t a job for me. If the voters reject my candidate then my candidate won’t be the nominee. That’s the way it should be, but it should be based on facts, not trash.

Then, as things go, I’ll figure out what course of action is most likely to achieve two conservative justices, and work to make it happen. Just as I am doing now, despite the supposedly well-intentioned by disastrously bad work by other so-called pro-lifers who seek to extract the Lord’s vengeance instead of doing the Lord’s work.
