Billionaire donors livid with Romney campaign

[musicmd]

No surprise. The D's are all about do as we say not as we do.

You lost move on.

[reg_indy]

My advise to them is to forget about the political process, it has been hijacked by the parasites .

Better they spend money sheltering their property or acquiring Swiss or New Zealand Citizenship.

The US is done.

.

We sruvived Carter, GW BUsh, we'll survive Obama (as we would survive Romney).

Man, but you guys are sore losers and drama queens

[zenwalk]

Probably only the losing side is interested in reform.

The amount of waste was hideous. How many diseases could have been cured with that money? Jobs created, roads built, etc etc. Americans are drawn to wasteful gestures but the billions spent this time leaves both sides speechless.

Only going to get worse.

LOL what a little girl. You are a wasted sperm cell.

Ouch, looks like you're pulling out the big guns today. And I thought we were friends?

That money went into the economy instead of being hoarded. If it hadn't been spent on a failed campaign by our gullible elite it would have went into a Cayman's island account, not to jobs, roads, or medical research.

I agree... a total waste of precious resources.

Funny, the 1% cry like weaning babies when asked for tax, yet gleefully spend like drunken sailors in their bid to rule the roost.

And we ain't seen nothin' yet...

This was only the first election post Citizen's United.

The next one will cost even more, and the one after that even more.

Unless it's stopped.

The 1% can't be trusted with the reins of government.
They need to be "busted" down to mere "voting citizen" status.
One warm body, one vote.
No fair buying more just 'cause you're rich.

Adelson alone blew 54 million bucks for nothing...I feel bad....lol....

Tuesday, he emerged as arguably the single biggest loser of the campaign, financially speaking. In addition to investing in Gingrich and Romney, Adelson and his relatives donated to the U.S. House campaigns of Rep. Allan West of Florida and New Jersey Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, and the Senate runs of Virginia's George Allen, Florida's Connie Mack, and Texas's David Dewhurst. All lost.

I would certainly stay away from any Sands run casinos for a while..They will have to recoup this money somehow, so I'm thinking those machines will stop paying out for now..

What did the fat-cat 1% elitist Democrat donors get for their money?

Pretty crazy. I guess they'd rather flush the money down the toilet themselves.

A president, which good or bad, is always better than nothing...

Ok, I give in. Forum friends for life.

"Many of the lightning bolts were aimed at none other than Karl Rove, the former Bush administration political genius who oversaw the deployment of nearly $400 million in campaign spending through outside groups American Crossroads and Crossroads GPS toward the presidential race and toward numerous Senate and House races.

"The billionaire donors I hear are livid," one Republican operative told The Huffington Post. "There is some holy hell to pay. Karl Rove has a lot of explaining to do … I don't know how you tell your donors that we spent $390 million and got nothing."

Rove even suffered the indignity of being insulted on Twitter by the blustery Donald Trump, who had attended Romney's election night party here on Tuesday night, but left early after it was clear that Obama had won a second term.

"Congrats to @KarlRove on blowing $400 million this cycle. Every race @CrossroadsGPS ran ads in, the Republicans lost. What a waste of money," Trump tweeted, inaccurately. "

I never liked Karl Rove. Schived him from day one of the Bush Administration years. I wouldn't be sorry to see him fired from Fox.

Rove should of been your biggest advocate..Without him and his friends wallets, Romney does not come anywhere close to where he did in this election...

It was obvious who was REALLY running his campaign...

[Spot72]

Anyone have the final numbers on total amount of millions blown?

[DaggerJohn]

Glad that it has been shown you cannot buy an election.

Really? How much did the Obama campaign spend to buy his?

[DaggerJohn]

Karl Rove's an ugly dog indeed. But I want trust David Axelrod with my money either.
