    I suspect this is the last thing Romney needs right now.

    When you a few hundred yards from the finish line, you don't get off you mountain bike and tease the guy behind you. you just ride in.

    Apparently, it was offered to the Romney campaign already - and they wanted nothing to do with it.

    SouthAmerica: I am agnostic, but I wonder what Mitt Romney believes regarding his religion?

    Is Mormonism a religion or a cult?

    What Mormons Really Believe

    What the Mormons believe can appear to be a little bizarre, but again if we analyze most religions in detail then they are not far behind regarding their fairy tales....

    Mormons built a politically powerful religion based on family, faith and clean living. But they also built Las Vegas, they owned brothels, and they copied some of their rituals from the Freemasons. These are just some of the secrets author and Historian David Eisenbach uncovers.

    Has anyone noticed is is much harder to find the national polls are RCP?

    Rasmuessen Romney Plus 4
    Gallup Romney Plus 3

    The other ones are close with Romney lead in some.
    But, when you unskew Romney is leading nicely.

    SouthAmerica: Americans are going to get what they deserve if they are so stupid to vote for Mitt Romney for president.

    Americans are going to get nuclear-waste moving around the country without much regulation to prevent a major catastrophe – an accident or a result of a terrorist attack is going to happen somewhere in the United States
    and at that point Americans are going to ask: How did we reach such a low point in the United States that the crooks, the gangsters, and crazy billionaires were completely out of control and they were allowed to destroy all the foundations of the US social/economic and financial systems?

    You have to be a complete idiot and anti-American to vote for Mitt Romney, just look at the list of the puppet masters that will handle Mitt Romney and what they expect in return from him as a pay back for their large donations to his political campaign.


    Rolling Stone – May 24, 2012
    “Right-Wing Billionaires Behind Mitt Romney” - They're trying to buy a presidency - and they expect a big payoff on their investment
    By: Tim Dickinson

    Presidential politics has always been a rich man's game. But now, thanks to the Supreme Court ruling in Citizens United that upended decades of limits on campaign donations, financing a presidential race is the exclusive domain of the kind of megadonor whose portfolios make Mitt Romney look middle-class. "I have lots of money, and can give it legally now," Texas billionaire and top GOP moneyman Harold Simmons recently bragged to The Wall Street Journal. "Just never to Democrats."

    In past elections, big donors like Simmons gave millions for advocacy groups like Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. By law, such groups were only allowed to run issue ads – but instead they directly targeted John Kerry, drawing big fines from the Federal Elections Commission. Now, with the blessing of the Supreme Court, the wealthy can legally hand out unlimited sums to groups that openly campaign for a candidate, knowing that their "dark money" donations will be kept entirely secret. The billionaire Koch brothers, for instance, have reportedly pledged $60 million to defeat President Obama this year – but their off-the-book contributions don't appear in any FEC filings.

    ...That capitulation is evident in Romney's campaign. Most of the megadonors backing his candidacy are elderly billionaires: Their median age is 66, and their median wealth is $1 billion. Each is looking for a payoff that will benefit his business interests, and they will all profit from Romney's pledge to eliminate inheritance taxes, extend the Bush tax cuts for the superwealthy – and then slash the top tax rate by another 20 percent.

    ...THE WASTE BARON: Harold Simmons

    Position Traffics in toxic chemicals and hazardous waste as head of Contran; owns one of the world's largest producers of titanium. A former corporate raider nicknamed "Ice Man," he pioneered the leveraged-buyout tactics that decimated American industry.


    Age 81

    Fortune $9.8 billion (Forbes rank: 33)

    Past Donations Spent $3 million to Swift-boat John Kerry in 2004, and another $2.8 million in 2008 on "issue ads" linking Obama to Sixties radical Bill Ayers. "If we had run more ads," he lamented, "we could have killed Obama."

    Current Donations Before backing Romney with $800,000, Simmons made $1 million bets on Rick Perry, Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum. His total giving of $16.7 million makes him the GOP's second-largest investor after Adelson. Most of the cash went to American Crossroads, the Super PAC founded by Karl Rove that has close ties to the Romney campaign.

    What He Wants: Plans to store radioactive waste from 36 states in an underground dump in Texas; has been sued repeatedly by the Justice Department for failing to clean up contaminated Superfund sites. Calls Obama "the most dangerous American alive, because he would eliminate free enterprise in this country."

    How He Lives Doles out $100 bills to panhandlers. Jets between his coastal estate in California, his Arkansas ranch stocked with 35 bears and 100 elk, and his $4 million mansion on a private lake in Dallas, surrounded by 17,000 tulips.

    I think the race has already swung to Romney even in many tossup states. Many pollsters are are not showing honest bottom line results for various reasons. Unless Obama can come up with a credible October surprise he is done. I still expect him to try something.
