Mitt Romney's SUPER FANCY high-end fundraiser riles critics, hosted by Meg Whitman
Mitt Romney's high-end fundraiser riles critics



With Democrats portraying Mitt Romney as an out-of-touch millionaire and "vulture capitalist" from his years at Bain Capital, the GOP presidential candidate may be handing opponents some ammunition when he holds a fundraiser Wednesday at a 65,000-square-foot estate that's opulent, even for upscale Hillsborough.

The exclusive location of the 95-room Carolands Chateau, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, and tickets running as high as $50,000 apiece aren't the only reasons Romney's political foes are stirred up.

The former Massachusetts governor's fundraiser is co-chaired by billionaire Meg Whitman, his former employee at Bain Capital and the 2010 Republican candidate for California governor who promised to produce 2 million new jobs if elected. Now Whitman is CEO of Hewlett-Packard, which said last week it plans to lay off 25,000 workers.

Romney's Hillsborough event - and his close association with Whitman - both represent "a risk," said economist Sylvia Allegretto of UC Berkeley's Institute for Research on Labor and Employment.

"Democrats should be hitting this hard," she said, to drive home their point "that running a company and running a country are absolutely almost antithetical to each other."


I am struggling for the right words to express my incredulity. REALLY, Dems? You REALLY want to hit out at high-ticket fundraisers? REALLY?


OK, I'll play.

I'll stick around for another round.

This game is sort of boring.

And I'm not even an operative. Seriously, DU, you should give this one up. Not that you have any credibility to lose, mind you.

The Keystone Cops got nothing compared to the super geniuses in the National Socialist Democrat Party chiefs.

Every time John McCain opened his yap in 2008 I grew increasingly pessimistic.

Every time the Obama camp hits a new strategy I feel increasingly optimistic.

I'm beginning to think that Romney will be the first elected US President to have not said a word during his campaign.  It's not like he has to, the frikkin' dems are doing all of the work for him.

A community may possess all the necessary moral qualifications, in so high a degree, as to be capable of self-government under the most adverse circumstances; while, on the other hand, another may be so sunk in ignorance and vice, as to be incapable of forming a conception of liberty, or of living, even when most favored by circumstances, under any other than an absolute and despotic government.

That will be too much money and power in politics. Whereas if 0bama raised a billion it is a sign of grassroots support and freedom.

Proving yet again, any double standard can be justified. All it takes is a little intellectual dishonesty.
