I donated to Romney today.
« on: August 26, 2012, 01:29:28 PM »
I am so fed up with 0bama and the democrats that I have actually donated twice to Romney and got a bumper sticker.
I know the small amount that I donate won't do much but I feel like I am doing something to help protect our country from a domestic enemy.

Maybe it is cheesy that I donated $20.12 but dammit it felt nice.  :-)

I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.

Sounds like a good idea.  Romney is outspending Obama, who has almost twice as much funds on-hand.

That data might be a bit out of date:

Quote
The joint fund-raising committee for Romney, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, claimed cash on hand totaling $185.9 million at the end of July, compared to $123.7 million for Obama’s joint committee.

The candidates’ joint fund-raising committees include their own campaigns, their parties’ national committees and other affiliated committees.

Romney’s wide lead represents a rapid comeback. In March, with the Republican primary still raging and Romney raising money without a joint committee, Obama enjoyed a 10-to-1 advantage in cash on hand.

Still, not a bad idea to kick in a few bucks myself.

Its not out of date but its also not exactly the whole picture. Romney combined his fundraising with the RNC a while back and those arent technically his funds(and also not available to him) until he becomes the Republican nominee on Tuesday

Again, incorrect.  That data is first quarter.  We're now four months past that.

no you are wrong

when you click on Mitt Romney it shows his total fund raising is $193 mil which matches the $193 mil from the all candidate page and at the bottom it says
