100 Million Dollar Man: Romney Sets Fundraising Record
ABC News ^
Posted on Thursday, July 05, 2012
Mitt Romney reportedly raised more than $100 million in June, the best fundraising month of his campaign so far.
Politico's Mike Allen first reported the total, which includes contributions to both Romney's campaign and the Romney Victory Fund—a joint account between the Romney campaign and the Republican National Committee. A Romney spokeswoman did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
That's two record-breaking months in a row for the Romney team. In May, the presumptive Republican nominee raised nearly $77 million—almost $17 million more than President Barack Obama's re-election campaign. The Obama campaign has not yet announced its June totals.

Nice. That is exactly the kind of coin he has to raise to win this thing.

Obama's free pass from the press and from the MSM is worth tens of millions of dollars alone. "New Party" anyone?

No those numbers are for the end of May 31st. The note was to reference the increase in donation to Romney the last 2 months

Thanks, but the March numbers don't mean much, especially with what Romney has done in May and June. In fact, Obama is now conceding Romney will outraise him.

I agree. Romney is pissing away the opportunity of a lifetime playing pays on the jetski , etc. makes me sick.

I doubt he has a perception problem that will cost him a significant number of votes. It's not like his wife is spending six figures on an international vacation, or he's spending weeks on one of the most expensive and nicest beaches on earth.

I'm referring to him not answering all of Obama's attack ads regarding Bain Capital, his off shore accounts, etc....he could be talking about Office Depot or GST Steel and he has the money to return fire but he's letting Obama run a train up his ass.
Even Obamacare he's wobbling on....He had a golden opportunity after the SC ruling to take Obama to task and pick up votes and what does he do.....he goes and says its a penalty rather than saying its a tax and then even worse he says its a tax 10 days later making it a flip flop...... ::)
He needs some Palin/Santorum style speeches in his campaign. He needs to attack hard, hit below the belt, kick him in the nuts, call him a Muslim, a traitor, a socialist, a communist, an idiot.....go on the offense and ground and pound him all the way to November....instead he's just playing it safe and that's why he's losing in almost every poll out there.

I can't disagree. Romney is acting very strange lately IMHO. I have to be honest. I am not thrilled.

He actually is doing that. At least from what I've seen. He's running very good campaign ads. He's giving good speeches. He's raising a ton of money. He's in a dead heat in the polls, doing far better than Clinton around this same time in 1992, when Clinton was facing an incumbent. He's not running a perfect campaign, but he's doing what he needs to do to win at this point. If he keeps this up until the debates, he will be in very good shape, because he's a much better debater than Obama.
But it will be a close race IMO.

Romney is running a horrible campaign....even Rush Limbaugh admitted that Romney's campaigning is shitty. He's trying to float through every round instead of trying to go for the knockout. He's letting Obama dictate the race right now and he's just covering up and putting his hands over his head.
He needs to get vicious...in the terms of punching him in the face and soccer kicking him while he's on the ground. He's got to attack and attack and attack some more. He doesn't need to think about it or come up with some complicated strategy...he just needs to swing for the fences and really go for it.

Romney is so far running an awful campaign.

You listen to Rush? (I don't.) Do you often agree with him?
I disagree about his campaign. McCain ran a pretty bad campaign. Romney is doing much better. He's had about a month since he won enough delegates to be the nominee and his campaign coffers have skyrocketed since then. I don't see this terrible campaign. At least not yet.
Obama isn't dictating anything. He doesn't even have a message. Do you know what Obama's theme is? What's his message?
-
Romney is scared shitless of obama. Hes like a little puppy dog trying to growl at moments but just pissing the floor. Most people can see hes in over his head. And obama is just gearing uo to talk about the gop taking away "Pre-existing conditions" and knocking off the college kids of parents from policies.....tons more like offshore accounts, job outsourcing...bain...... ..good lord it wont be pretty.

You apparently forgot about my BUCS back in 2002. ;D
As far as flip-flopping goes, Obama is in no position to criticize Romney on that. He's flip-flopped on gay "marriage", on not raising taxes, etc.
And, Romney's made it clear. He's going to hit Obama with his campaign promise about not raising taxes on the middle class. Obama can't duck that.

LOL, what tax increase on middle class?? You mean a mandate for the 1% of people that will have to pay a penalty of 90 dollars for not being responsible to buy a policy from big business insurance companies?? I know the 250k earners might run out out of the temporary tax incentitives theyve enjoyed all these years....but no in middle class.

Forward where, OFF A CLIFF?
Obama has been an abject FAILURE as a president.
Did he keep unemployment under 8%? PLEASE!! It's been 8% or higher for 42 months straight (9% or higher for 33 months).
Did he cut the deficit in half? HARDLY!! It's DOUBLED on his watch.
Did he keep his word not to raise taxes on the middle-class? HELL, NO!! ObamaCare and end of Bush tax cuts in 2013, enough said.
Did he lower premiums on healthcare? GET REAL!! He's trying to shaft the middle class, vets, and employers with this foolishness called ObamaCare. If it's so great, why are all these waivers going out to his political allies?
Not to mention, he's the only president to get our credit rating downgraded, which it's been for nearly a year.
His party got murdered in the midterms (worst loss in over 70 years).
He'll be the only president to end a four-year term with MORE JOBS LOST THAN GAINED.
And you want four more years of this garbage?

At least a dozen taxes in ObamaCare affect people making under 250K. 75% of the cost of this crap goes on those making under 120K.
Yes, it's $95......in 2014. Go forward a couple of years. It's nearly $700. And that's just for someone single.
For families, that goes over $2000. The prices go up almost exponentially. Why else do you think Obama plugged this crap not to take full effect until AFTER 2014? If this is so great, put into full effect NOW!!
Oh, I forgot!! You have to pass it before you know what's in it. That's the Obama/Pelosi way, much like cancer. Hide as much as you can, until it's too late for people to do anything about it.

GOOD lord mc! Do you think the US would be back to normal so soon after a financial crisis....one of the worst in history!!
The auto bailouts worked and records continue to climb back up.
The stock market is 10-12k a day
And no the mandate will affect NO ONE THAT HAS A POLICY ALREADY!!!!! And its 90 dollars...that not going to cripple the poverty class even.......
I could go on, but yo need to look around and draw your own conclusions and study both sides.....same with 3333

Obama's policies have FAILED, bottom line. Again,

That's why ObamaCare is utter GARBAGE. It screws those who already have healthcare by JACKING UP THEIR PREMIUMS, the very thing Obama said it wouldn't do. Look what he's trying to do our vets with Tricare, as in raising their rate FOURFOLD.
Premiums have gone UP. Again, a dozen taxes in ObamaCare hit THOSE MAKING LESS THAN 250K. What part of that don't you understand?
Obama ran his mouth FOR YEARS that nobody under 250K would see their taxes go up "one single dime". That is a outright LIE, based on both ObamaCare and the expiration of the Bush Tax cuts (contrary to the media spin, this too will hit the middle class HARD).
Let's not forget GAS prices. Eight years of Bush and gas prices only exceeded $3, during his last year or so in office (10 years ago, it was under a dollar a gallon in stated like Florida and Georgia). It's been $3 or higher under Obama for YEARS.
-
Of course premiums go up.Its a for profit business. Thats captialism...you dont support capitialism...are you a commmy/ socialist mcway ???
And yes the bailouts are paid back and we are now able to buy our american cars again...You dont like that Mcway ??? Do you prefer hyundai?
And it took money to save the country and other countries affected by these bubbles created by the previous administration...so yes theirs a deficet...
Is any of this sinking in Mcway ???

Anyone who likes to argue that the strength of the stock markets is indicative of the strength of the economy is a fucking retard. Protip: the markets are only doing well because of the free money the fed dumped into them with the QEs.
GM stock has completely tanked by the way and taxpayers are now approx. $33 billion in the hole on that bailout. Yeah, they're doing GREAT. ::)
-
Government Motors: As GM shares near record low, taxpayer loss on bailout rises to $35 billion
To quote Lando Calrissian, this deal's getting worse all the time.
General Motors (GM) shares fell to a fresh 2012 closing low of 19.57 on Monday. The stock hit 19 in mid-December, the lowest since the auto giant came public at $33 in November 2010 following its June 2009 bankruptcy.
Normally you might say, tough luck investors. But this is Government Motors. The Treasury still owns 26.5% of GM, or 500 million shares. Taxpayers are still out $26.4 billion in direct aid. Shares would have to hit $53 for the government to break even.
Those shares were worth about $9.8 billion as of Monday. That would leave taxpayers with a loss of $16.6 billion.
But that's not the full tally. Obama let GM keep $45 billion in past losses to offset future profits. Those are usually wiped out or slashed, along with debts, in bankruptcy. But the administration essentially gifted $45 billion in write-offs (book value $18 billion) to GM. So when GM earned a $7.6 billion profit in 2011 (more on that below), it paid no taxes.
Include that $18 billion gift, and taxpayers' true loss climbs to nearly $35 billion.
Of course, there's no chance that the Obama administration will sell off its GM stake before Election Day. That would force Obama to recognize actual losses, which would remind voters that the bailout was a massive transfer from taxpayers to unions.
Union workers did make sacrifices in bankruptcy, but not nearly enough. GM only narrowed the labor cost gap vs. what Japanese automakers pay their workers. Given that Toyota (TM) still enjoys a price premium over similar GM vehicles, the U.S. auto giant needs a labor cost advantage, not near-parity. And Toyota has relatively high costs. Volkswagen(VLKAY) pays workers at its new Tennessee plant only about half what GM does.
The Volt hybrid was supposed to provide a green veneer to GM's entire lineup, like the Prius has done for Toyota. Instead, the Volt has been a p.r. disaster following fires and anemic sales that led to a temporary production halt earlier this year.
GM's market share and profits got an artificial boost in 2011 as Japan's earthquake and Thailand's massive floods wrecked havoc with supply chains for Toyota and other Japanese automakers. But with Toyota back on track and VW and Hyundai aggressively expanding in America, GM is rapidly losing share in 2012.
Overall U.S. auto sales were strong to start the year, but that momentum has faded along with slowing economic growth and hiring. Falling gas prices also may reduce the incentive to replace aging cars and trucks with higher-mileage vehicles. Automakers release U.S. June vehicle sales on Tuesday.
Update: GM's June sales rose 15.5% vs. a year earlier, much better than expected. But while retail sales rose 8%, lower-margin sales to car rental agencies and other fleets, shot up 36%. Still, GM shares rose 5.6% in holiday-shortened trading. But that only trimmed the bailout loss by about $550 million -- from nearly $35 billion to about $34 billion.
And the U.S. currently is the garden spot of Ceti Alpha 6 for auto sales.
Europe has become a sinkhole. The auto industry faced chronic overcapacity in Europe before the debt crisis erupted because national politics make it very hard to close any money-losing plant in any country. With Italy and Spain on the brink of a meltdown, auto sales in those countries are in freefall.
Ford (F) last week warned of major losses in Europe and other overseas markets.
GM has done well in China, now the world's No. 1 auto market, but that economic growth is slowing there too. Meanwhile several big cities, including Beijing and Shanghai, are capping new car registrations to fight massive gridlock.
So don't expect GM's prospects to improve significantly in the near term. Obama says he saved GM and the U.S. auto industry for the "long term". But using taxpayer dollars to prop up a high-cost, low-premium producer in a mature market isn't a foundation for success.

And yes the bailouts are paid back and we are now able to buy our american cars again...You dont like that Mcway ??? Do you prefer hyundai?
I prefer any car that's safe, cheap, spacious, and gas-efficient. BTW, Hyundai's American plant ain't even in Detroit; it's in ALABAMA.
And it took money to save the country and other countries affected by these bubbles created by the previous administration...so yes theirs a deficet...
Is any of this sinking in Mcway ???
Obama said he'd cut the deficit in HALF. He didn't. Is any of that sinking in, War-Horse?
He said his stimulus would keep unemployment under 8%. It's been over 8% for FORTY-TWO STRAIGHT MONTHS. Is any of that sinking in, War-Horse?
He said NOBODY making under 250K would see their taxes go up "one single dime". ObamaCare and expiring Bush tax cuts shoot that promise to hell. Is any of that sinking in, War-Horse? BTW, that tax in 2014 is at least 950 dimes. By 2016, it's nearly 7000 dimes. For a family, it's almost 21,000 dimes.
And the auto bailout being paid back? PLEASE!! That kind of fuzzy math gets accountants thrown in JAIL.

Your not listening mc. If mcdonalds starting giving rich people(250k a yr) a 2 dollar off coupon for a year and then the year ended its not a increase. If you rent your home to someone for a 1000 dollars a month and they have a hard month and you accept 400 dollars....do you think that is the new amount listed on contract??? NO. And for the last time IT WILL AFFECT NO ONE THAT HAS A POLICY ALREADY AND MOST PEOPLE DO. AND MOST PEOPLE WILL GET ONE NOW THAT THEY CAN.

You're not very bright, are you? 6+ months is no fluctuation. You claimed people were trading because they feel confident and this isn't true in the least. In-fact, investor confidence continues to poll low. The market is up "overall" due to the massive amounts of free money that has been pumped into it courtesy of the FED.
Props for asserting "facts" that you pulled out of thin air.

He's not going forward. His record sucks. That's what the economic indicators show.
What are the policies that got us here and how has he changed them? One of the main reasons we're in this mess is we spend far more than we take in. Are you saying Obama has changed that pattern?

Obama Campaign Sends 'Urgent' Request for Cash
2:45 PM, Jul 6, 2012 • By DANIEL HALPER
An email with the subject line "Urgent," has been sent to President Obama's supporters by campaign manager Jim Messina. It's a request for campaign cash.
"Romney and the Republicans announced yesterday that they brought in more than $100 million in June," Messina writes. "For context, that's about what we raised in April and May combined. We're still tallying our own numbers, but this means their gap is getting wider, and if it continues at this pace, it could cost us the election."

Obama ran his mouth FOR YEARS that nobody under 250K would see their taxes go up "one single dime". That is a outright LIE, based on both ObamaCare and the expiration of the Bush Tax cuts (contrary to the media spin, this too will hit the middle class HARD).
Let's not forget GAS prices. Eight years of Bush and gas prices only exceeded $3, during his last year or so in office (10 years ago, it was under a dollar a gallon in stated like Florida and Georgia). It's been $3 or higher under Obama for YEARS.
Unemployment went down when Obama took office....it may be 8.2 but its better than the 9.2% it was originally.
And as far as the bailouts are concerned.....there was nothing Obama could do about that because they were passed during the Bush Administration. In the game of "Hot Potato", he was left with practically no seat and I'm pissed along with a number of folks out there for the GOP wanting to wish things were worse so they could get elected.
I saw the news today where a GOP strategist was gleefully talking about the economy saying that it was the ticket for the GOP to take back the White House....disgusting.

That's like saying 4-12 is better than 2-14 in football. You still SUCK.
As far as the economy being the ticket goes, personally, it's to the point where that strategist is RIGHT. It's going to take MAJOR PAIN to finally get some folks to see Obama for the joke and failure he really is.
If Bush or McCain had 42 straight months of 8% unemployment or higher, the media and, especially, black people would want to have him SHOT.
But, because it's Obama, every excuse on planet Earth is made for his pathetic performance. If it takes $4/gallon gas and 9% unemployment to get Obama GONE, I'm for it. I'd rather deal with four more months of this BS than FOUR MORE YEARS OF IT!!
