[CaseyJones]

If we can get a list together I will make up a quick flyer people can use to show some of the more embarrassing donors on the list for Romney. That way we can show people what a big phoney he is.

Probably wont mention Ron Paul on the flyer though, as he doesn't like to get mixed up in that kind of thing.

[sailingaway]

Ron Paul = the thinking man's candidate

Mitt Romney = the Banker's candidate

Good idea.

[Telkandore]

235k from Gold Man Sacks.

What are the corporate limits? Are there any?

Wow, look at all the banks....

[Seth]

That's not one person. It's the total of all people who listed that as their occupation.

Strange that he got $2.1 mil from "homemakers". Ron Paul got $0 from "homemakers".

[realtonygoodwin]

everyone who donated who listed HOMEMAKER is added together and placed under that category. That is not one person donating that much. Same with all the others. Bank of America donated $16,000? More like, all the people who donated to Romney who work at BoA added up to $16,000.

Attacking Romney because the employees of certain firms donated to his campaign is no different than the negative press Ron Paul received last election because a few Stormfront members donated to his campaign.

There are many good ways to go after Romney, this isn't one of them.

[VoluntaryAmerican]

Mitt's Bankster Pals:

MERRILL LYNCH $25,700.00
GOLDMAN SACH & CO. $235,750.00

[Seth]

Well the hundreds of thousands from bankers is a big difference from the largest amount donated from a single employer to Ron Paul. Here is Paul's:

NONE $455,044.42

Investment bankers make lots of money and have a high stake in the political process, as such they're going to be at the top of most campaigns' donation lists.

[Seth]

Actually, no other candidate is getting even close to the amount as Romney is from the bankers. He also has way more money from "homemakers" than Obama who raised far more than anyone. Obama only has around 300k from homemakers.

Your right, Mitt promised some favors, bankers pay some money. The American way.

Saying that Romney is a shill for the banking sector because bankers donated to his campaign makes as much sense as saying that Ron Paul is a shill for white nationalism because white supremacists donated to his campaign.

The white supremacist sector did not support Ron Paul, it was one independent group. That simple fact breaks your logic.

[Seth]

Not even comparable. If all of Paul's top donors were racist organizations you might have a point...

Couldn't that be from the many, many "wives" in Utah?

[Lafayette]

Donated to Dr Paul...

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA $301.20

WTF?!

[Carehn]

Strange that he got $2.1 mil from "homemakers". Ron Paul got $0 from "homemakers".

lada mormon homemakers

[Seth]

lada mormon homemakers

Lots of banker's wives too. :p

[Sola_Fide]

The bankers have their candidate.... wow...

[ForLiberty2012]

Top donor are homemakers??? What??? How does one candidate get 2mil+ from "Homemarker" and the other get nothing from them? Please explain that one.

and Goldman Sachs 200k for romney.... 0 for Ron Paul.

[harikaried]

Homemaker $2,120,162.38You can look through the individual donation listings for the homemakers.

I wonder why such a focus on real estate.

I'm so sick of the stereotype that bankers are somehow a united front trying to hijack the government for their own benefit. I'll have you know that bankers are as diverse in their beliefs as any other group of people and many of them happen to be libertarians.

Banker is not a dirty word.

Thank you so much. I don't like the government partnership with the huge banks, just like everyone else here. But to turn the word "banker" into a dirty name is a diservice.

I don't have a problem with bankers, my problem is with CENTRAL bankers.

[LisaNY]

fwiw I work for one of those firms on that list - and my $$'s going to the Champion of the Constitution!!

LoL. Why are you so sensitive about that word?
Banks are not necessarily evil, and bankers are not necessarily evil. But when you mix in government, there's where the mischief begins. I know that what I'm saying is just not computing to you...I realize that. You still think that government can somehow be reformed without monetary reform. I don't know why you think this, but I guess you do.

We come from two different worlds. You think central planning is a good thing. I don't.

[PastaRocket848]

I think investment banker or "banker" is a bad term now because the general public has been effected by their actions in a negative way. Of course not every investment banker took long-shots with people's 401k's, but many did. On a deeper level, the whole financial "industry" is a root cause of the decrease in actual output and production of real goods in the economy. Ron always talks about our #1 export being dollar bills. there's more gain in moving a few numbers in a computer than inventing something we can sell. So, I think people justifiably hate the system, but they shouldn't blame the guy doing his job making a living for it.
