Mitt Romney is a Sell Out

I guess it is OK for a person to sell out their beliefs if it means getting enough money to win an election.

I'm not sure how to post a pic here. It's a pic I created and I'm not sure where I can upload it so it could be shared here.

That was donated to Republican Superpacs (plural). Romney can't tell them who to accept money from or not, or what to spend it on.

And before you say that ain't fair, Republicans got all the money, which isn't true, most Superpac money comes from individuals not corporations according to the sources in the Wikipedia article (doesn't mention unions).

There are as many if not more high profile wealthy Democrat supporters, but they're just not forking it over because even in many liberal circles, particularly wealthy liberal circles, Obama has been labeled FAIL. The economy is being strangled by Obama's policies or lack of them (neither of which he can run on), and many are tired of being shaken down to boot--particularly corporations who don't have the stomach or the budget for it.

That poster is itself hypocritical.

All of this is irrelevant. Romney accepted money from a gambling casino owner which is contrary to his most sacred religious beliefs. That is selling out.

The fact that others do it is irrelevant.

If Romney was not a sell out, he would have simply said thanks but no thanks. I do not support gambling

You are just covering for the obvious hypocrisy of your Red silliness

Look up "Superpacs". He's got no say in it, only for his own campaign funds. HE didn't accept anything. You might read what I wrote.

All irrelevant bulls*** to circumvent the obvious.

Romney and Adelson communicate directly as per Adelsons own comments. Adelson has communicated with Romney DIRECTLY and told him of his support and that he will donate 100 MILLION to defeat Obama in the election cycle

Adelson Romney connection

What you say is legal mumbo jumbo to circumvent the truth. Adelson is buying Romney

If accepting money from sources that made it legally and he has no say over how they made it, or in receiving it in the Super pacs, without publicly condemning the source, is the worst thing he does in the campaign, compared to Obama, it's in the bag.

If he did that, we'd have a really good indication he'd use his presidential power and influence to work against any individual, company, union or other entity if they didn't adhere to Mormon principles. You can't have it both ways, as much as you and the Dems would love to. I already knew you were scrapping the bottom of the septic tank, because you can't talk about Obama's record--which is what the septic tank was full of.

This is a sad sad argument. Comparing Romney to a loser to say that he is a winner? Why do you compare Romney to a Obama? Romney can't stand as a good man on his own? Apparently not if you need to compare everyone and everything to Obama right?

There are plenty of other reason to not vote for Romney. I'm not debating that, I'm simply agreeing with the OP, that he is a hypocrite.




That's a poor argument as well. Romney is proving that he will be for or against whatever his highest bidder demands. Romney is against abortion because of his religion. He's against birth control for his religion. The only reason he ISN'T against gambling is because someone with a lot of money is FOR gambling. If a trillionaire who would buy the election for Romney was for late term abortion, you can bet your sweet red a** Romney would be IMMEDIATELY for abortion

Don't fool yourself with your pathetically idiotic attempt at supporting Romney's hypocrisy with ANY sort of reason. You only make yourself look stupid

12:01 Headline: Romney denounces Super Pac funds derived from gambling, alcohol, coffee, tea, tobacco and caffeinated/carbonated soft drinks.

12:01:13 This just in: An unnamed source in the White House responded to Romney's denunciation of Super Pac funds from non-Mormon approved yet legal sources, as proof that he'll be working to use the office of the President to Mormonize the country. What next, polygamy?

No, he didn't.

Johnnythan, I know you're a stickler for precise wording so I'll make it more precise... Feel free to correct me if I'm still wrong

Romney accepted political support from a gambling casino owner who will use his gambling empire to support Romney's election. For this reason, Romney will ignore his personal and religious bias against gambling however, since no abortion supporter is offering similar financial backing for pro-Romney advertising, Romney will still be bias against abortion and cite religion as his reason

That sum it up accurately?

Citations?

Romney cannot "choose" who he gets political support from. The KKK no doubt supports Romney over Obama. Romney has absolutely zero power to prevent the KKK from supporting him. It's free speech. There's nothing he can do about it.

The SuperPAC that accepted the money is, by law, unaffiliated with Romney in any way. As you can see, it's a double-edged sword for Romney. On the one hand, a SuperPAC that supports him can drum up a lot of support and spend a lot of money to campaign for him. On the other hand, he has zero power to tell them what to do - they can, as you have seen, just as easily put him in a position where they do things he doesn't approve of.

Candidates are legally prohibited from actually being affiliated with a PAC in any way. The entire point of a PAC is that, since it's 100% independent, it's basically exempt from campaign finance rules.

Now you're just being silly.
You act as if he was consulted prior to the donation and then gave his blessing.

In truth, you probably knew about the donation before he did and even if he objects the SuperPAC is NOT required to listen to his objection.
