Anonymous Coward User ID: 1493927 Canada 08/04/2011 02:53 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Secret donor gives Romney $1 million through company... company created 1 month before donation, closes 2 months later Yeah this is totally not obvious corruption uh? Who gave him that money? JPMorgan? Goldman Sachs? The FED? Rockefeller? The Chinese? The CIA? Who? [link to www.slate.com] When a $1 million donation from W Spann LLC appeared in the coffers of the pro-Romney Super PAC Restore Our Future, no one knew what it meant. What was W Spann LLC? Michael Isikoff finds the answer, sort of. It was a company founded on March 15, which donated to the PAC on April 28, and dissolved on July 12. No one remembers the company existing at the address it listed on the filing. The “authorized person” that filed the W Spann LLC incorporation papers and then canceled them was [Cameron] Casey, the Boston estate tax planner lawyer, who specializes in “wealth transfer strategies” as an associate in Ropes & Gray’s Private Client Group’s trust and estate practice for high end clients, according to her biography on the Ropes & Gray’s website. One of the Rope & Gray’s longtime clients is Bain Capital, the investment firm formerly headed by Romney. It is also one of a number of major companies — including UBS, IBM and Cemex — that have offices at 590 Madison, the address listed for W Spann. And this shit is legal because of those cunts at SCOTUS ruling in favor of Citizen United.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1493955 He will win. I'm so sorry. Believe me, you don't know how sorry I am. Go vote on your little electronic machine. You might as well be playing with a preschool toy. Romney will win and then he will dissolve this country like acid through butter. So so sad.

He's been campaigning for 6 straight years and still doesn't have a chance of winning. He seems actually kind of pathetic, IMO.
