Bain Capital joined with private-equity firm Thomas H. Lee Partners to buy Clear Channel in 2008, with the announcement made shortly before Romneys 2008 run for the GOP nomination. The $25-billion deal included around 1,000 AM and FM stations, as well as dozens of televisions stations that were later sold off.
Clear Channel subsidiary Premiere Radio Networks the largest radio syndication service in America with talk-show hosts including Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, and Sean Hannity was also part of the package. According to the companys website, its radio programs reach nearly two-thirds of the American people each week through some 5,000 radio affiliations.
The economic disaster has apparently left a lot of formerly wealthy Rinos like fraux conservative radio hosts very susceptible to Romney's 30 pieces of silver. So they are cashing in for their 30 pieces of Romneys silver and selling out to trash Newt!:
Mitt is the poster boy for Crony Capitalism!

The Tea party and its fellow travelers, being the new age silent majority, is about to shake the entrenched establishment’s world as they know it, and they’re running scared.

This election is for all the marbles. This election is for the heart and soul of the representative republic our founders, through Providence, gifted us with.
We are at the end game, and we the people, the sovereigns, for our sake, the sake of our progeny, and that of the modern civilized world, must cherish, must defend, and must ensure the very existence of our republic, to our last breath.
Failure is not an option. This republic must prevail, or a darkness we cannot imagine will envelop us, the likes of which and from which we will not awaken for a thousand years, if then.
