Mitt Romney's Secret Money (CFR supporter Mitt doesn't want to disclose funders)

Mitt Romney is zero for two when it comes to transparency in campaigning.

First, Romney, breaking with the practice of previous Republican presidential candidates.....has refused to release the identities of his bundlers, the well-connected fundraisers who help the campaign haul in stacks of checks adding up to hundreds of thousands of dollars....

[TitansAFC]

So Mitt, who supported Campaign Finance Reform and argued for MUCH stricter reforms just a few years ago.............who has now come out against CFR just in time to run for President...............doesn't want to tell us who is funding his campaign, eh?

The first rule of Conservative, Pro-Constitution campaign financing: No limits, but FULL DISCLOSURE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hiding you donors is NOT Conservative, Mitt. We support the ability of Americans to support whomever they want, with as much money as they so choose, but with FULL DISCLOSURE!!!!!!!!!

Also, Mr. Romney: why no release of tax returns when EVERYONE else is doing so? Why did you demand that Ted Kennedy release his tax returns back when you were running against him if YOU CAN'T DO THE SAME?!?!?

[Drill Thrawl]

The current occupant of the white hut did not disclose any of this so why should his heir apparent? If mittems was smart he would tell every reporter that when questions.

PS I am not a mitt fan.

I have been saying most of this primary season that Mitt wouldn’t release his donor list. If he did, it would be too easy to trace the companies and individuals who are funneling money from the LDS church into his coffers. The LDS church excels at laundering money and many companies, owned by LDS inc, as well as some of the set up then disappear PACS are mid level LDS leadership or mid-high level executives in these LDS (corporate church owned not individual members) businesses. A lot of his millions can be traced back to the Corporation of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day saints.

Obama has hidden his whole background and his foreign bundlers. Now the liberals find secrets unacceptable?

[Vendome]

This guy gets the nomination and Barack is going to make his lack of transparency an issue and he’ll blow it up big.

What are you hiding?

Who is funding you?

Who are you now indebted to?

No foreign donations I presume?

You sure?

In the interest of fairness and openness you won’t release your tax returns?

Just how do come by your money?

What are you hiding?

Who are you hiding from?

Is that a dodge so you won’t have to answer to anyone else?(say ... your church. Maybe you weren’t as full and forthcoming about your income as you led them to believe)

Guarantee you, if I gave this more thought I could come up with some pretty powerful attacks and counters to these issues and make Mutt look pretty bad as he stammers like a cuhrazee man with turrets....sans the cuss words but blurting out some kinda idiocy

[Thunder90]

And I predict that Romney will roll over and become like an obedient dog should he win the primary and face Obama. Romney will hand the election to Obama and the House Democrats on a silver platter.

[Diogenesis]

Romney CANNOT release his money accounts.
He lived in a Nazi-seized Palace later sold.

Where did the money go then?

ANd what about the 911 victory Mosque?

And what about his relationship to Soros?

Romney has MUCH to hide.

“US election 2012: Mitt Romney's life as a poor Mormon missionary in France questioned
Although he spent time in other French cities, for most of 1968, Mr Romney lived in the Mission Home,
a 19th century neoclassical building in the French capital’s chic 16th arrondissement.
…. “I would describe it as a palace”.
Tearful as he described … Romney aides had asked him not to speak publicly …
The building...was bought by the Mormons in 1952,
having been seized by the Nazis during the Second World War.
The Church sold it again..
.it was until recently the embassy of the United Arab Emirates.”

"(The GroundZero Mosque) cleared its final hurdle ….
developers plan to build the $100 million center which will include a mosque.
Since its incipient stages in July 2009, when a Muslim-run real-estate development
company purchased the damaged, vacant building and land where the new center
will be built, the project has sparked controversy and debate.
.... the tattered building that was bought by the Muslim real estate company had
been owned by a subsidiary of Bain Capital, a company Romney founded in 1984.
So it’s OK if his company can profit off the sale of the land ."

“Bain Capital, has cut checks totaling $90,000 to Romney’s operation. “

who has now come out against CFR just in time to run for President

Newt is CFR. Most serious candidates are going to be vetted and approved by CFR as was Reagan. Ronnie was himself not CFR but chose as his veep a former director of CFR in George HW Bush and filled his cabinet ten deep (from the top secretary down) in every agency with CFR members. Reagan knew the songs and the musicians and he knew if he wanted to get elected, he had to hum along if not dance to their tunes. That's just political reality in this country since 1921.

RINOS like you just don't know how to win....we don't even know where Obama was born, how he could afford Columbia university, Harvard University....a zillion dollar mansion in Chicago, etc. etc....and you want Romney to tell you who donated to his campaign....yeah, right.!!!

The LDS church

religious bigotry pretty much sums up your whole opinion, doesn't it??? How very sad to live ones life that way.

[terycarl]

This guy gets the nomination and Barack is going to make his lack of transparency an issue

for God's sake, Obama could never challenge anyone on transparency...Clinton had more chinese money that they do, half the country left to avoid testifying, we aren't sure of where Obama was born, where and how he went to school, who paid for his zillion dollar mansion in Chicago etc. etc. If he ever asked me that question in debate I would advise him that as far as I knew, the same people who educated him, provided his home, and funded his first campaign, might now favor me...perhaps???

[BigSkyFreeper]

He destroyed his records while he was governor too and paid off a bunch of people in his inner circle with hush money. The guy is a slimy hack. He’s not a Conservative. He’s not worthy of the title.

[fuente]

Yuuuuuuup!

[reaganaut]

No bigotry here, just facts and my experience. I’ve seen what I said with other candidates first hand, some LDS even bragged about it.

Also, if I was a bigot, I wouldn’t have LDS friends.

[reaganaut]

I noticed you didn’t address my post, just resorted to calling me names...typical for a certain contingent that supports Romney.

Big Church, Big Government.

How very sad to live ones life as a Mormon. Praise God I’m free!

[Finny]

Obama has hidden his whole background and his foreign bundlers. Now the liberals find secrets unacceptable?

This conservative finds such secrets deplorable in any candidate, Republican or Democrat.

Romney's a fraud. He's a chump.
