In the Republican primary struggle to define the most reliably conservative presidential candidate, Mitt Romney has put his money where his mouth is. Over the past six years and two presidential campaigns, Romney has donated at least $260,000 from his family charity foundation to GOP causes and influential conservative groups that could deepen his ties within the party and establish his credibility on the right.

Romney's campaign said there was no hidden motivation behind his contributions.

.....the Romney campaign is studded with former Bush political veterans and appears to lead its rivals in financial support from former Bush fundraisers.

...Romney gave $25,000 to The Becket Fund,...has also contributed tens of thousands of dollars to Massachusetts conservative groups and to core Washington-based conservative think-tanks and publications, among them the Heritage Foundation research institute, the Federal Society legal interest group and a gala dinner for the National Review magazine website.

Romney's gifts came with no strings attached, according to many of the groups....But some caution that Romney's gift giving could raise questions inside the party about whether he is trying to use his vast personal wealth to buy support on the right.

A Romney campaign spokeswoman, Andrea Saul, said the candidate's donations were made with no "hint of a quid pro quo." She called the groups "public charities with worthy missions."

Most of the Romneys' monetary gifts have gone to non-political causes, including more than $4.7 million to the Mormon Church,

IMO its bigger than BO or Mittens. Someone is sitting back pulling the puppet strings.

I was listening to an interview with Bill Bennett who was asked if Mitt Romney was fooling people about his political thinking and he said that he thought that Romney had fooled the people in Massachussetts to think he was liberal.

How dare he.

[unkus]

We’re now in an Oligarchy. I call it a Marxist dominated Oligarchy.

Nobody knows for sure.
Mitt is either a lying liberal or a lying conservative—either way he is a despicable liar.

And since lying is much much much more common with the Left than the Right...it's an easy call.
