Mitt Romney reportedly raised more than $100 million in June, the best fundraising month of his campaign so far.
Politico's Mike Allen first reported the total, which includes contributions to both Romney's campaign and the Romney Victory Fund—a joint account between the Romney campaign and the Republican National Committee. A Romney spokeswoman did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
That's two record-breaking months in a row for the Romney team. In May, the presumptive Republican nominee raised nearly $77 million—almost $17 million more than President Barack Obama's re-election campaign. The Obama campaign has not yet announced its June totals.

Slight error in your thinking. Romney does not advance conservatism. Just the opposite. He’s a statist.
Go and the force be with you. You’ll need it.
The video exposes the man for what he is, a statist. An abortioinist/homosexualist statist. No difference between him and your run of the mill abortionist/homosexualist statist democrat.
Please post a brief summary of Romney’s greatest conservative accomplishments/achievements while in government service so that we can see actual examples of him advancing conservatism.
Thanks
By the way, if this video shows only the negative things about Romney, please post some videos of his positive side (preferably while he was in office). Or, at least if you can’t find any, please post that list of Governor Romney’s greatest conservative achievements.
Statism/tyranny must be stopped!!
And I haven’t campaigned against him or you’d see the videos about the real Romney daily in breaking news and on every FR page. But I definitely reserve the right to comment on the truth about him when the Romney pushers challenge me or other stalwart conservative FReepers.
Obviously, you don’t know me very well. There is absolutely no way that I will support or vote FOR a known abortionist/homosexualist statist for the presidency.
If you’re looking for that, you’re looking in all the wrong places.

The Fog of Political Discussion
In the heat of the moment,
When all is in disarray,
‘Tis easy to pull a quote,
And challenge what THEY say.
But ask yourself sincerely,
What is the other’s intent?
Is it to explore a point,
Or is Malice the intent?
“We hold these Truths to be - - “
Is how we search an idea,
Ready to listen to the unexpected chorus.
Sometimes a gem is found,
But all is worth the learning,
As Battle with our words
Will make our Nation Stronger.
Tempting though it is
To stop the other’s braying,
Good manners and curiosity require
To yield the floor and listen.
To often we reveal
That only WE are right,
And thus we have two monologues,
Without a dialogue in sight.
The matter at hand:
Who will be our Tribal Leader?
Merits long discussion
And a tolerance for error.
Let those who oppose us
Bring out their best support.
Let us the jury
In good manners
Give our report.
With the tables turned
We then ponder their views,
Content that all is talked about
That all has been reviewed.
At Free Republic,
Let each of us make clear
What Truths that we hold as self-evident,
And speak and write without fear.
If the mold is broken
On the table that is set
The Host shall remind the offender
To mend his ways or git!
We are in the fog of political discussion,
We do what our Congress will not do,
And from we here at FR
Will come a stronger Red, White and Blue!
Abortionist - one who advocates or has a record of advocating for legalized abortion as a political cause.
Homosexualist - one who advocates for or advances or who has a record of advocating or advancing the homosexual agenda as a political cause.
Statist - one who advocates that the state (the government) should control the economy thereby restricting economic freedom and individual economic choices.
All of the above are direct violations of our fundamental constitutional rights and are antithetical to our founding principles, ie, that we are all created equal by our Creator and endowed by Him with certain unalienable rights, including the rights to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. Look it up.
Romney is an abortionist/homosexualist statist!!
Statism is tyranny. Romney is a statist.
I vote nay on all tyrants!!
Now that you’ve had the time to read my feeble attempt at poetry, shall we have a dialogue?
Your position is that we must unite behind who the GOP Elite have endorsed, and who has won the most Primary votes.
I understand, and accept that as your opinion.
My opinion is different that yours, so to put both positions together you and I can then discuss what parts of each others opinions will be of lasting merit.
Just look at the odds:
Romney is campaigning in a monotone, “watch paint dry,” “I do not need your vote” style.
Obama campaigns the exact opposite of Romney.
Romney uses clever little nuances of prep-school style humor, NO memorable campaign slogans, NO short declarative sentences, NO sound-bite quotes, NO step 1-2-3 plans to solve any problem, NO soaring oratory speeches, NO attempt to identify with us in the trenches fighting for our Grandchildren’s futures, NO indication that he would do anything different IN PRINCIPLE from Obama.
Obama remains dedicated to say what each audience wants to hear, and then continues to destroy America.
Romney is a Socialist, with Haaaaaaaaaaaaaarvud-educated young kids as advisors.
Obama is a Communist, with Far Left street-fighter advisors from Chicago and Academia.
Romney is campaigning in his above style as if he is seeking a nomination to be in Obama’s next Cabinet.
Obama is campaigning to keep his job as if this will be his last chance to destroy the America that he and FB Michelle hate so much.
Dream on if you think that being loyal to the RINO Blunder of choosing to endorse the Godfather of Obama”care” to defeat the Father of Obama”care.”
The betrayal of Traitor John Roberts on approving Obama”care” gave the election to Obama.
BTW, the polled voter disapproval of Obama”care” is still 60 %.
To bad for the RINOs and Romney that they chose to lose this election by ignoring the facts, and choosing to lose with another Liberal Republican, again.
A National Election is a terrible thing to lose, but RINOs are getting REALLY good at it!
The best thing that can happen is for the Delegates to DUMP Romney on the First Ballot in Tampa with an ABSTAIN vote.
Then Nominate a Real Republican who can defeat Obama in a LANDSLIDE!
What say all y’all?
Like I told you above, if I were to campaign full-time against statist Romney, FR would be wall-to-wall banners and videos of Romney bragging about him and his abortionist mama pushing abortion to be safe and legal in this country, and his boasting how much he despised Reagan and Reagan conservatism, and how he would be better for the homosexual agenda than Teddy Kennedy, and how he proved it by imposing homosexual marriage on Massachusetts, and how he busted their budget and enslaved their citizens with his socialist/statist RomneyCare program, and how he now plans on a National Health Care Task Force to impose similar RomneyCare-like statist programs into all fifty states (see FR keyword: Bondi), and how he is nothing but a power hungry lying abortionist/homosexualist statist political whore. But you don’t see that wall-to-wall on FR 24/7 now do you? Don’t piss me off!!
How do we get change and rid ourselves of overstepping statist tyrants? Number one, do not vote in known overstepping statist tyrants. Vote straight conservative!! See Ronald Reagan’s strategy against the godless tyrannical statist totalitarians, ie, We win, they lose!!
How soon we forget.
Vote straight conservative. Continue the tea party sweeps of 2010 into 2012 and beyond!!
IF you want to defeat Obama, THEN be realistic about who the Republicans are going to nominate to defeat Obama.
Right now FRONT RUNNER Romney is within the margin of error to lose to a pathetic Marxist Dictator who has rammed through a Nationalization of 1/6 of the US Economy, called Obama”care.”
Obama”care” is opposed by 60 % of the Voting Public, and has benn for the last 2+ YEARS.
Romney cannot possibly win! DUMP Romney!
Defeat Obama with someone that will DEFEAT Obama in a Landslide.
BTW, it will be a looooooooooooong 4 years if Romney is nominated and loses to Obama, a really LONG 4 years.
However, we are in discussion so give your best case for Romney. I’m sure that I have missed his stronger points.
If Romney’s strong points outweigh his weak points, then it will be there for all to see.
Whatever the outcome speak and write because we are within Jim’s Truce Period, of cordial, well-mannered discussion. I yield the floor to you.
Let the Fog of Political Discussion begin!
” - - - - You are effectively saying that every vote cast in the primaries was bought, paid for, and threatened with enforcement by a conspiracy group.”
I did not use such words.
Romney won more primary votes than any other candidate.
Since that time Romney has failed to rise above the polling margin of error, and thus will probably lose to the Incumbent Obama in November, just like McCain lost to Candidate Obama in 2008.
Primary = Romney.
Post Primary = Obama or Romney.
In other words, Romney has achieved what he wanted, defeating the Conservatives, and is now in coasting to victory mode, and thus allowing an ever increasingly unpopular Obama to remain tied with asleep-at-the-wheel Romney.
Romney won the Primary, quit campaigning in attack mode and thus revealed to the Convention Delegates that Romney will also quit campaigning against Obama in attack mode after he is Nominated.
It has been a beauty contest for Romney.
Boola-Boola!
There are 3 parts to a campaign: Primary, Post Primary and Post Convention.
All Romney has done is to win the Beauty Contest Primary.
He has proven that he does not have the guts to fight Obama in the Post Primary.
Romney must be DUMPED at the Convention.
