It took me a while, but I finally figured it out. I have to give Republicans credit, over the years they’ve developed such a complicated shell game that I genuinely thought they had some depth and principle. What I’ve discovered is that they only stand for one thing; rich people getting and keeping as much […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

If Romney Was Being Honest, How Much Would He Say He’s Really Worth?
on October 5th, 2012 at 11:58 pmThe 2012 campaign will be remembered for the way billionaires like the Koch Brothers and Sheldon Adelson tried to buy the election for their friend Mitt Romney. It may also be remembered for the Republican Party putting up a billionaire as their candidate for president. A few years ago, conservatives all believed that Mitt Romney […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Initially, I thought that Mitt Romney was going to London to watch his wife’s horse compete in the Olympic dressage event, but then Mr. Romney said that he wasn’t even going to watch her, that he had very little interest in her competition, and that he didn’t even know when it was going to be […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

It’s no secret which candidate billionaires favor the most. Hands down, it’s mega-millionaire Mitt Romney, a man who fights with all his heart for policies that favor the ultra-rich, a tiny group of people who just keep getting richer while America keeps getting poorer. Mitt Romney has found ways to keep his tax bill under […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Yeah, yeah, you’ve never heard of Edward Conard so let me introduce you to him. Conard has been making the rounds lately as Mitt Romney’s ethical surrogate, making the case that the huge wealth imbalance in this country is a good thing. He wrote a book called, Unintended Consequences: Why Everything You’ve Been Told About the […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I just finished reading Hugh Hewitt’s book, A Mormon in the White House? : 10 things every American should know about Mitt Romney. Not a great read, highly biased and probably completely inaccurate, nevertheless, Hewitt claims that Romney’s net worth is “in excess of a billion dollars.” Hewitt writes this a number of times in the book.

Hedge Fund Billionaire Julian Robertson Sure Would Like To See Romney Calling the Shots For Him
on April 6th, 2012 at 7:33 pmMitt Romney is riding on the money tail of a lot of billionaires, none more so than 79 year-old southerner Julian Robertson. When Roberson isn’t in New Zealand running his resorts and wineries, he takes time out to destroy political opponents. Restore Our Future’s signature role in the campaign has been the negative attack ad […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Mitt Romney has been making the rounds in California this week visiting his extremely rich pals that are bankrolling his campaign. On Monday he made his way to Silicon Valley where he collected some loot from billionaire Meg Whitman and billionaire Scott McNeally. The event was closed to the press but rumor has it that he promised to […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I guess it’s not surprising that Mitt Romney would pick a billionaire to be his top energy advisor, Harold Hamm, a man who makes a fortune whenever oil prices go up. Politico has the story; Romney has been touting his understanding of the industry on the trail, but his ties to Big Oil – and a handful of […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
That’s reading between the lines but I don’t think you’d get an argument from Dallas-based right wing billionaire Harold Simmons. This is what he just said to the Wall Street Journal; “Any of these Republicans would make a better president than that socialist, Obama.” “Obama is the most dangerous American alive … because he would […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
As the ultra-rich, like Mitt Romney, stash their fortunes in offshore bank accounts and soak up so much more of the U.S. economy than they can possibly spend, as they buy up real estate and send rents through the stratosphere, the ultra-rich is stifling innovation. Ask yourself, do you have time to innovate when you’re spending half your paycheck on rent? Do […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Billionaire Harold Simmons Comes to the Aid of the Republican Party
on February 21st, 2012 at 2:35 pmThank goodness there are good samaritans like Harold Simmons. No, not the kind of good samaritans that help the sick or the needy, the kind that fight to protect the insanely low 15 percent capital gains tax on their leverage buyout deals. Meet Harold Simmons, a mult-billionaire who doesn’t really care what you think. Dallas billionaire […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Billionaire Meg Whitman became the latest member of the uber-rich to donate part of her hard-earned billions to Republicans. Whitman scribbled out a six-figure check to “Restore Our Future”, a Super-Pac that can raise unlimited amounts from America’s upper class to try and influence the outcome of our elections. It was also announced that multi-billionaire Peter […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
By now, everyone has heard about the ultra-right Koch brothers. Their nefarious plan to get far-right Republicans into office by duping the American public with millions of dollars in negative ads worked in 2010, and so they’re going to do it again in 2012. At a private three-day retreat in California last weekend, conservative billionaires […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Billionaire casino operator and television personality, Donald Trump, took time out from the keno tables to roll the dice and endorse the beleagured and mistake-prone campaign of Mitt Romney. Fresh off belittling the poor, Romney made sure that the ultra-rich know that they will always have a big seat at the table if he is elected.
Jon Huntsman has decided to drop out of the Republican presidential race and endorse Mitt Romney; Although Huntsman was only polling at about 5 percent in South Carolina, his voters are most likely to wind up with Romney. If either Newt Gingrich or Rick Santorum makes a run at the frontrunner in the final week, […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
A Las Vegas billionaire has contributed $5 million to an independent group backing Newt Gingrich, breathing new life into the former House Speaker’s struggling campaign for the GOP presidential nomination and casting renewed attention on the role of such groups in the 2012 contest. A person familiar with the development said Sheldon Adelson, a casino […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Despite being under investigation in Great Britain for illegal activities, Australian media titan and the owner of Fox News Rupert Murdoch is still trying to influence the American political system. Besides pushing Rick Santorum on his private news channel the last few weeks, Murdoch came out one day before the Iowa caucus to publicly announce his support […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Jon Huntsman won’t shy away from spending his family’s inheritance despite earlier saying he was probably done funding his own campaign. Today I am adding a special wrinkle: from now until midnight Wednesday, Mary Kaye and I will personally match – dollar for dollar – every new donation our campaign receives. Read more at Politico
It turns out that Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain has a deep relationship with the Koch brothers. Republican Herman Cain, facing allegations of sexual harassment, returns Friday to a familiar, and presumably friendly, venue — the annual convention of Americans for Prosperity, the conservative group founded by billionaire businessmen David and Charles Koch. The group […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
After claiming for two weeks he had the goods on President Obama, discredited flim-flam man Donald Trump took to the cameras to declare victory. Victory for what? Proving himself wrong, I guess. Meanwhile, NBC, owned by GE, is taking heat for giving this hater a platform to spew his drudge. Historian Douglas Brinkley has had […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
