I'm not sure if this has been posted on Free Republic. I am posting in case it hasn't been.

Here are the top 20 contributors to Mitt Romney's campaign:

Goldman Sachs $367,200
Credit Suisse Group $203,750
Morgan Stanley $199,800
HIG Capital $186,500
Barclays $157,750
Kirkland & Ellis $132,100
Bank of America $126,500
PriceWaterhouseCoopers $118,250
EMC Corp $117,300
JPMorgan Chase & Co $112,250
The Villages $97,500
Vivint Inc $80,750
Marriott International $79,837
Sullivan & Cromwell $79,250
Bain Capital $74,500
UBS AG $73,750
Wells Fargo $61,500
Blackstone Group $59,800
Citigroup Inc $57,050
Bain & Co $52,500

What does this tell you? Well, it tells me that among his many other flaws, Mitt Romney is bought and paid for by the financial elite. Does anyone seriously believe that he'll make the kind of hard decisions necessary to get this nation back on sound financial footing when he's in deep with all these "too big to fail" types?

This needs to be spread far and wide.

Noticed you didn't deny my suspecting you of being an OWS/Obama fan.

LOL. In my almost 14 years on FR, I have never been accused of either of those things. Well done for being the first!

If you don't know what's wrong with Goldman-Sachs (John Corslime, former CEO) donating nearly $400K to Flip Romney, I don't know what to tell you. And yes, I do realize that the money didn't come directly from the companies on the list, but from their employees. That's even more evidence that support for Romney among those affiliated with the "too big to fail" banks is extremely strong.

Face it. Romney is one of them. If another financial crisis hits with Romney in office, he'll bail them out and leave us holding the bag just like previous administrations have. He's not part of the solution.
