Presumed Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney will host a fundraising event in Jerusalem at $60,000 or more per plate on July 29, The Jerusalem Post learned on Wednesday.

Delegates are set to fly in from the US for the event, which a Republican source said would be “a small meeting, but a big fundraiser.”

Immediately after the fundraising meeting, Romney will host a conference in Jerusalem, where he will lay out his Middle East policy.

Romney plans to visit the UK for two days, attending the opening ceremony of the London Olympics on July 27, before flying to Israel.

And the vast majority of Jewish Americans will still vote for President Obama.

is this a ploy by Mitt for the Jewish vote, the end-times evangelical vote, or both?

I'm assuming that the attendees at the fundraiser will be Americans or those with dual citizenship.

but I'm pretty sure if Obama had this fundraiser I can only imagine the Fox News headline.

OBAMA TAKING FOREIGN MONEY?

OBAMA SELLING THE PRESIDENCY TO FOREIGNERS?

OBAMA FUNDRAISER: NOT CONSTITUTIONAL?

OBAMA FUNDRAISER IS AN IMPEACHABLE OFFENSE?

Romney is now owned by Adelson, who has long advocated moving the capital.from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. After this fundraiser, listen to the rhetoric. Will he be like Adelson first bitch, Gingrich who said Palestinians are 'invented.people and his firsf executive.order would recognize Jerusalem.as the.official.capital.
