Who the hell is giving money to Romney?

Corporate PACs?

Money can’t buy you love. Unless you are Obama, he doesn’t buy love, he buys votes from the special interest groups such as unions. He buys ciggies, box lunches, Ipods and TVs for the welfare sheeple.

Someone posted a lie about the amount Bachmann had received earlier.

Romney’s got corporate PACs. He is the RINO the MSM keeps pushing. The “powers that be” are afraid of a real conservative.

No chance on the planet I vote for Romney and, no, I don’t care that Obama may get term 2. It’s time to send a message to the GOP.

Romney’s money is coming from lobbyists. Here’s the breakdown:

Actually Bachmann raised $2.2 million in Q2. The other $2 million was transferred from her Congressional campaign fund.

She is spending very fast also. She entered too early.

When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic.

Dollars do not win elections.
An awful lot of conservative dollars are wasted.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/dollars-per-vote/

Linda McMahon R CT-SEN $46,600,161 488,885 $95/vote Lost

Meg Whitman R CA-GOV $175,000,000 3,088,070 $57/vote Lost

If you look down this list of the top 10 in $$/vote, only 2 were winners.

Agreed that there are many factors in winning, but having more money is surely not any predictor.

Lesson learned: Dollars sent to show support are a waste. Conservative dollars must be on target where it matters.

Otherwise, we waste our resources.

I regret my wasted contributions to Sharron Angle, Christine O’Donnell, Joe Miller...

The nice thing about Michelle is that she DOESN’T NEED TO raise much money. Her labor costs are NOTHING, thanks to people who believe in her.

Now for Romney...yea, he’ll get helpers...at a price.

I suspect hundreds of thousands of people are waiting for Sarah Palin’s decision prior to making their contributions. If Sarah doesn’t run, that money will go to Bachmann or Cain. It’s not going to Romney.

It will be quite interesting if the Great Pumpkin never emerges and Romney actually wins the nomination.

Anyone expecting the fat cats on K-Street to throw cash at Bachmann haven’t been paying attention.

I personally am not donating until I know if Perry’s getting in. No sense throwing good money after bad if he does. If he’s not in by Labor Day, I’ll pony-up. If he’s in, I’m saving my wad for congressional races.

Bachmann’s not my candidate in this race, and I don’t think she’ll be a leader by the time the primaries roll around (to put it nicely).

But she just announced at the end of June and those numbers are pretty good, especially in showing the momentum after her first debate.

Romney’s been running for president since puberty. His greatest strength is his fundraising (to put it nicely), and he’s been working on fundraising for this race since 2008.

Mittens can raise a friggin’ ZILLION DOLLARS and it won’t get him the nomination.

Actually, Bachmann’s last quarter donations are about the same as Newt’s reported $2.1 mil once her plundering of her Congressional fund is considered.

That “money machine” meme might be taking a nose dive.

Bachmann is dead in the water when it comes to fund raising. If conservatives throw their support behind her, we'll just end up with Romney as our nominee.

The only two who can match Mitt are Sarah and Rick. Without them we lose.

Palin/Perry, Perry/Palin 2011 !!!
