Romney Losing Donors to GOP House, Senate Candidates
Foxnews ^

Posted on 10/01/2012 7:40:42 PM PDT by chessplayer

The Romney campaign is experiencing what some officials believe could be the beginning of a mass exodus of big money donors diverting their cash away from the Republican presidential hopeful and toward Republican candidates for the House and Senate races more likely to win in November, the FOX Business Network has learned.

The trend isn’t at the acute stage, at least not yet, said one person with direct knowledge of the matter. This person, a major player in Romney’s New York fundraising circles, confirmed to FOX Business that a few New York donors have backed away from financial commitments to the Romney campaign and instead said they will spend their money to help the Republicans hold on to the House of Representatives, and pick up seats in the Senate.

But another person with direct knowledge of the matter says the trend, though nascent, is more geographically broad based, and reflects an increasing degree of anxiety both with what they believe is the tentative nature of the Romney campaign, and recent poll numbers that show President Obama with a lead, particularly in key battleground states, that some Republican contributors are starting to believe is insurmountable.

Nope. Gridlock is best case scenario. Can’t believe republicans would give up when Romney loses...

First off,there's strong reason to believe that Romney will *win*...but to play this little hypothetical game:you mention "gridlock".Just what part of "Executive Order" don't you understand???? Any idea why I mentioned two-thirds control of the Senate and how we'll never get that this year? That's right...removal from office.It takes 67 Senators to remove a President from office.If Osama gets 4 more the only thing that will prevent him from issuing four more years' worth of unconstitutional Executive Orders is if he chokes on a glass of J-Z's $2,000 a bottle champagne.

I can not believe that 3/4 of the Republican Party members despise Mitt Romney. I do know there are many folks who did not consider Romney their favorite candidate, but think those who despise him are rather few....especially now that folks have actually learned more about him.

Just compare Romney's past and accomplishments to Obama’s and I would have to say, anyone who votes for Obama is an idiot! As far as I am concerned the choice is clear and I will be proud to cast my vote for Romney/Ryan!

That’s exactly my point.

With the knee pad media’s support, even an empty chair is a viable candidate.

With their opposition, even the slightest perceived flaw gets ripped open into a gaping wound.

It’s wrong, but it’s reality. That’s why the Republicans have to choose their candidates carefully, and the Democrats can elect Dumbo.

Why are you throwing in the towel if Romney loses? That’s what I want to know. There is quite a bit a Republican Senate and House can do to choke off Obama. If he EO’s stuff, that all blows away when a Republican president comes in.

Executive Orders.

If he EO’s stuff, that all blows away when a Republican president comes in.

And if one of those Executive Orders gives 30 million wetbacks the "temporary" right to vote? You still haven't figured this guy out yet,have you? You still haven't read Saul Alinsky,have you? You still don't understand how much "flexibility" Osama Obama will think he has in a second term,do you? And with fewer than 67 Republicans in the Senate there won't be a blessed thing we can do about it.

Wake up and smell the Maoism!

You don't love Reagan, you are lying and calling him pro-abortion, trying to rewrite him into a pro-abortion, Romney like ghoul, yet you cannot find any writing, any speech, any quote, anything of Reagan ever saying anything, but that he was against abortion.

It is called lying, Mitt hates Reagan also, and has spent 5 years trying to create the myth that Reagan was "adamantly pro-choice", Mitt has spread that on TV, and radio and print interviews, and you have joined him in that totally anti-Reagan lie, and attack.

Reagan was never pro-abortion and even your anti-Reagan paragraph by that anti-Reagan biographer, doesn't contradict that Reagan was always pro=life.

Cannon and you are lying about Reagan when you claim this, "Afterward, he inaccurately blamed this outcome on doctors, saying that they had deliberately misinterpreted the law."

As you can see, the abortion bill that new Governor Reagan was signing in the more innocent, naive time of 1967 in regards to the left and abortion, required a board of doctors for a health abortion.

Contrary to Cannon and you, some doctors started "misinterpreting " the law, and were being brought up on charges before the medical boards. JANUARY 22, 1968

Drama Queen would be the poster trying to rewrite Reagan as pro-abortion, and Mitt Romney as a pro-lifer.

Lying to destroy Ronald Reagan's pro-life history is despicable, but it is part of the Romney agenda.

Here are Mitt Romney and Ann Romney donating to, and fund raising for Abortions, long, long, after the abortion lines were drawn and we all knew what was what and sides were chosen in a 25 year old war.

THIS THE NEW MITT ROMNEY REVERTING BACK TO HIS TRUE ABORTION POSITION, ONLY A FEW WEEKS AGO, AND COMING OUT AGAINST THE REPUBLICAN, PRO-LIFE PLATFORM.

August 27, 2012
PELLEY: Well, the platform as written at this convention for the Republicans does not allow for exceptions on abortion with regard to the health of the mother or rape or incest. Is that where you are?

ROMNEY: No. My position has been clear throughout this campaign. I’m in favor of abortion being legal in the case of rape and incest, and the health and life of the mother.

That is the absolute best thing that can happen, in my opinion. If Romney is a dead duck RINO, we need to keep control of the House and gain the Senate.

It CAN be done.

Good thing Romney already rubber stamped Obama’s amnesty. He won’t be changing it!

You’re losing it. Time to put a zipper on your lip, if possible. If not, just go away. You bore me.

You should be apologizing for lying about and attacking Ronald Reagan, not posting that childishly defensive post of putting your hands over your ears and sticking out your tongue.

Post 149 destroys your attempt to portray Reagan as having been pro-abortion.

It takes a person of truly low character to post lies on the internet claiming that Reagan was pro-abortion.

It proves that you are lying when your lies about Reagan are exposed, and your only response is to say that the documented truth about Reagan being pro-life, bores you.

Buzz off from what?

Positive posts on Ronald Reagan should not make you so angry.
