Romney To Raise Money From Bankers During London Trip

Traveling to London for the Olympics, Mitt Romney will hold two separate fundraising events hosted by a number of banking industry officials, reports the Boston Globe.

From the Globe:

The events involve a reception – at a cost of $2,500 per person – and a high-dollar “private dinner with Governor Mitt Romney” that will cost from $25,000 to $75,000 per person. Both events will be held at a location in “central London” that has not yet been named.

Though former Barclays CEO Bob Diamond, who recently resigned over the rate-fixing scandal, is no longer among the hosts, a registered lobbyist from Barclays, Patrick Durkin, is still one of the hosts.

Others involved in hosting the events are Dwight Poler, managing director at the European branch of Bain Capital, the firm Romney founded; Raj Bhattacharyya, managing director at Deutsche Bank; and Dan Bricken, a managing director at Wells Fargo Securities.

1. The correct headline: GOP Presidential Candidate Accepts Bribes From Foreign Powers.

Hey teabaggers, Are you really going to bother going to the polls for this traitor on election day?

Gee, a cynical person might get the idea that Rmoney is trying to BUY the election.
