2 more fake companies donated millions to Romney
byRock Strongo



It turns out that two other companies have done something very similar for Mitt, yet it appears only one station has reported it, and that is a local Fox affiliate of all places.

Sound familiar?:

A political committee tied to Mitt Romney received two separate $1 million donations from companies located in Provo, but the companies don't appear to do any substantial business.

How about this?:

The giant sums of money is surprising enough, but Eli Publishing and F8 LLC don't seem to do any business. They incorporated with the state, but they have no presence on the internet and when Fox 13 went to their address, we found only an accounting firm whose employees weren't aware of the companies' activities.

3. This is being leaked by the GOP wingnut brigade.

[malaise]

11. Who cares

If snake oil Mitt is being exposed, it's all good to me :evilgrin:

[RagAss]

12. The alternative is Perry...Satan's fucking brother !

[malaise]

13. Perry?

Nah

[elehhhhna]

26. Satan's closeted brother, in fact. Rickie's just try'na raise dough to toss around

cuz there are waaaaaaaaaaaaay to many men in his closet for him to really run

[RagAss]

29. never heard this.

[LeftyMom]

30. You haven't? I've heard that rumor for YEARS,

and I've never spent any more time in Texas than it took to change planes, so it can't exactly be a tightly held local secret.

[RagAss]

31. wow.

[susanr516]

33. There's been rumors in TX about it for years nt

[elehhhhna]

38. his wife started most of those rumours. moved out at least once, too.

[elehhhhna]

39. yanno, it's sad. it appears that gay men here in tx have so much

church pressure (baptist or otherwise extremely controilling) family pressure and texas man pressure that they have to be in the closet. think brokeback mountain. the young gen in HS is very different -0 thank god-- at least here in the middle-to upper middle class subs of houston. but for the 50 and over guys, it's sad, false, and heartbreaking.

[susanr516]

41. Well, they dated for 16 years before they married

Seems like that would be the first clue.

I was in Austin in early 2006 when everybody was buzzing about Anita moving out after catching him and the Tx Secy of State in a hot tub at the Governor's mansion. Word on the street was that she had even retained an attorney, but GOP big-money donors literally took her out in the Gulf of Mexico on a yacht and it was rumored they agreed to pay her off for her silence, and it all died back down. That was back in the day when the whole Jeff Gannon/GWB and the TX GOP "gay mafia" rumors were percolating.

27. Eating their own is a thing of beauty

especially when it's the loony RW fringe doing the dirty work.

[FormerDittoHead]

40. They never liked Romney. He's got "compromise" written all over his face.

I have to say that, even as an agnostic, his "I really AM a Christian!" speech in 2008 that the Wackos made him do wanted to make me puke.

I guess it made me feel sorry for him a little.

The fact is that I feel that Romney is the *least* crazy of the pack, and that's what they're afraid of.

They LIKE crazy.

6. This could get very interesting

and very quickly. Michael Issikoff (?) was talking with Rachel at length about this last night. Curiouser and curiouser....

:popcorn:

[struggle4progress]

7. Oh, this isn't good. What's Mitt hiding? And what will he be hiding, if elected?

[malaise]

8. Let's see if they go after him the way they went after

John Edwards

[Ilsa]

9. I wonder if this is a set-up by GOP wingnuts that

think his Mormonism is too much of a cult for their party.

[MADem]

23. Or maybe it's friends of Huntsman, who are backing the OTHER mormon... nt

[susanr516]

34. I'm beginning to think the same thing nt

[marmar]

10. Everything about Mittens seems fake.

nt

[applegrove]

14. Looks like Obama could be running against Bachmann..... oh joy! oh bliss! let it be so.

[No Elephants]

15. Hey, Mitt. Doesn't obeying your religion require more than underwear?

He lied about his residency to become Governor of Massachusetts, too.

Lied about marching with Martin Luther King.

Lied about his reaction to the Mormon Church's changing its policy about African Americans.

And how about claiming he save "the Olympics," when all he did was get the Utah Winter Olympics into better financial shape.

Plenty of religion. No moral compass.

[Fuzz]

16. Hey Justice Roberts, Who was wrong again?

[malaise]

25. Hope he has a fit! n/t

[eleny]

17. uh-oh

[gratuitous]

18. And let me guess: Mitt doesn't know anything about no million dollar donations

As if there's nothing strange about someone anonymously giving you a million bucks. Hey, just stuff it in your pocket, and don't ask no questions. Nobody knows anything, and least of all whether the wealthy folks pungling up this dough have any expectation at all of getting something back. Why, I'm sure this money is from totally patriotic citizens happily participating in the election system with no ulterior motive.

How about this: I say the money is from a foreign terrorist organization. Maybe even from Al Qaeda. Prove me wrong, Mitt. Otherwise, explain why you're taking money from terrorists.

[sabrina 1]

19. They are 'persons' now.

Corporations who have no business, but lots of money to donate to candidates. Where did the money come from I wonder?

[Divine Discontent]

20. what a joke he is. sorry, the only way someone other than Obama gets in office is if it's a

decently known Democratic primary challenger because so many people are angry that they bring in someone else. The chance of that are not likely. However, he needs a primary challenge to wake him up. He either isn't a progressive or is a horrible negotiator.

[Shagbark Hickory]

21. So will he return the money then? I mean what if it was donated by the National Assn of Molesters.

You never know.

[hedgehog]

22. Wouldn't a company have to file a tax return showing income and costs?

[Skink]

24. I hope they don't do this to Obama.

[TheCowsCameHome]

28. Maybe they were not fake - they specialized in empty suits.

Mitt is one of 'em.

[Canuckistanian]

32. I thought "the establishment" didn't like Romney

So where is all this money coming from? Or are they just unsure and covering all the bases?

[NNN0LHI]

36. My guess would be the money is coming from Mitt himself

Or some religious organization in Salt Lake City.

Or both?

[NightWatcher]

35. The first one was a Bain Capital donor (link)

I'd be willing to bet that it is all coming from his "old" venture capital pals.

[xchrom]

37. recommend

[notadmblnd]

42. I'm thinking he's getting his money from the LDS church

Just a guess:shrug:

[yellerpup]

43. Are fake companies citizens, too? n/t

[TheCowsCameHome]

44. Who else but fakes would contribute to a fake politician?

I mean, you know..........

[Capn Sunshine]

45. It could be China. Or Iran

we just don't know. Thanks, Citizens United.

[Sheepshank]

46. Campaign finance reform......

It' useless to try and regulate contributions. Too many loopholes to donate more. Too many ways to buy a candidate. So here's my proposal. Only regulate campaign spending. Limit spending to $5M for anyone. Limiting the spending would save me some tv watching sanity too :)

[Fearless]

47. Republicans accept unscrupulous donations? No way!!

:rofl:

[jwirr]

48. Rich Mormons who do not want it to look as if the Mormon Church is

supporting him? Just wondering.
