Mitten goes to London to raise money

[Sinjorri]

It was just fine when Obama did it in 2008.
Now it's not with Romney?
The media thought it was very smart for the President to do it when he was running for the first time.
It's OK for Dems to do it, but not when Repubs do it.
Talk about hypocrisy.

In Massachusetts, where the succession measure won passage in the House of Representatives last week, the floor debate focused on the complaint of Republicans, and even some Democrats, that the bill was overly partisan. Governors here had the power to fill Senate vacancies until 2004, when the Democratic majority in the legislature changed the law to require a special election. Democrats worried then that if Senator John Kerry were elected president, Gov. Mitt Romney , a Republican, would appoint a Republican.

“Any way you slice it,” Senator Richard Tisei, the Senate minority leader, said of the bill, “it’s bad precedent and bad politics.”

All 5 Republicans and 11 Democrats opposed the measure. Therese Murray, the Senate president, remained publicly noncommittal until just before the vote, despite calls from the Obama administration and from Victoria Reggie Kennedy , Mr. Kennedy’s widow. Ms. Murray ultimately supported the measure.

The bill does not prohibit the temporary appointee from seeking Mr. Kennedy’s seat in the special election — legislators feared that such a condition would not pass constitutional muster — but Mr. Patrick has said he would ask the appointee to promise not to run.

New laws normally cannot take effect in Massachusetts for 90 days, but governors can put them into effect immediately by declaring an emergency. The bill must be put to a final procedural vote in both chambers of the legislature on Wednesday before being sent to Mr. Patrick.

Under current law, Mr. Kennedy’s seat would remain empty until the special election in January. But shortly before he died of brain cancer last month, Mr. Kennedy asked the state legislature to change the law and allow Mr. Patrick to name a temporary successor until the special election could be held.

Senator Robert A. O’Leary, a Democrat who represents Mr. Kennedy’s home town of Hyannis, appealed to his colleagues to approve the measure out of respect for the late senator.

“I for one think that is something we need to honor,” he said.

Democrats, hyprocrisy at its best

Id be more worried about the Olympics occuring at the end of the month. Romney is going to be able t use them to remind people of the Salt Lake games he ran.

 

[L.K.Eder]

So obama was overseas too,, what is he hiding?

There was a huge story about a week about regarding Obama's overseas fundraising efforts.

Ravi Fail.


LOL

You mean the games where he wasted a lot of federal taxpayers money?

 

[Charles_Main]

Since all his money is kept outside of the US, this isn't really surprising.

I take it you hold the Same Disdain for the Money Obama is actively Seeking from Over seas right?

The Salt Lake Games were the First games in Decades that Turned a Profit for the Host City, and Nation.

I take it you are similarly outraged at Obama foreign fundraising?

 

[Charles_Main]

Is that illegal?
Why should we care where Romney gets his money....
You don't care where Obama gets his.

It is not illegal if the ones giving the money are US citizens.

Maybe when he gets in the WH he can let Brits stay in the Lincoln Bedroom...better than Chinese under Clinton, IMO.

Plus ca change, and all that.

I know it's not illegal....just wanted to see if Ravi would say so too.
Obama was getting donations from Non-Americans in 2008....but that's different.

He is getting them now, there was a just a big story about how George Clooney was in Europe Last week collection money for Obama's Campaign.

Ravi is a Typical Partisan Hack Hypocrite.

A waste of taxpayers money is Solyndra. Governor Romney turned the Salt Lake City Olympics around from being a complete disaster to a fabulous success.

George Clooney raised money for Obama in Geneva.

From American citizens living abroad.

Mitten is going to the banks.

Your own source says you're full of shit and a liar...

On the eve of the Olympic Games, Mitt Romney is planning two separate fundraising events in central London hosted by a variety of banking industry officials, according to copies of the invitations obtained by the Globe.

Only American citizens or US green card holders are allowed to contribute to a presidential campaign, and Romney’s fundraising invitations note that attendees “must provide copy of US passport.”

Dumb ass

Count on radical lefties to support the dope smoking dope rather than the successful businessman.

Ohhhhh. So when you said he is seeking donations from banks, you really meant from employees who are US citizens, not from the organizations called banks.

But, of course.

What part of 'American Citizens' escapes you, dipshit?

Romney is not going to foreign banks for money, as that is not legal. HE is going to American Citizens in a foreign country, which IS LEGAL.

Get your partisan head out of your ass.

Obama did the same thing in 2008. Everybody thought that was really smart of him to do it back then.

NO, damnit!

When the hell are you people going to learn???

Whatever a Dem does is fine and dandy, no questions asked but if a Repub does the same thing they are eeviiil, dastardly and down right no good!!!

Geez, the memo has been out there for so long it's ahhmAzing that everyone isn't up to speed on this.

Repeat the leftist mantra after me: Repbubs are always wrong no matter what; Dems smell like fresh baked cookies and will cure America because they know what's best for us!
