Do you believe that Romney's Presidential Campaign is mostly backed by Goldman Sachs and the Bailout Banks?

Understand. idoit, these are people who contribute to BOTH parties so that no matter who wins they win. They are listed on OpenSecrets.org page of Heavy Hitters page (http://www.opensecrets.org/o... as "On the fence" that give "Between 40% and 59% to both parties". That is what makes this atempt to smear Romney meaningless because ith just a few mouse clicks one can go to OpenSecrets.org's Heavy hitters page, and click on names on that page, then look at the "Top Recipients, 2011-2012" graph on that page or click on the "and then click on the "...view more Recipients" link to bring up their "All Recipients" page to get a nice list of all they contributed too. Ergo, it is meaningless to try to smear anyone with these "On the fence" heavy contributors that are also banks because with a few mouse clicks, it can be proved thatthey also finance Obama's campaign too.
You think I'm kidding? well here is a list of the Persidental candidates they contributed to so far in this 2012 presidental campaign season. Prepare for a shock, Obama's name appears quite often on the list of recipants of these banks who contribute to the candidates. These are all verifiable facts as of this date January 28, 2012.

And if you had bothered to investigate further, you may have found that
Goldman Sachs, Credit Suisse Group, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase & Co,, UBS AG, and Citigroup Inc on that list are the typre of Heavy hitter contributers that OpenSecrets.org lists as "On the fence" because they contribute "Between 40% and 59% to both parties" (http://www.opensecrets.org/o... You can throw in PricewaterhouseCoopers too. You can't sling mud at Romney on the basis of "On The Fence" Heavy hitter contirubtors without some of that mud sticking to Obama too because all of them had contributed to Obama's campaign in 2008 and 2012. In fact, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase & Co, Citigroup Inc, UBS AG, and Morgan Stanley were all on Obam's top comntributor list for 2008 and Goldman Sachs is currently listed as a top contributor to Obama's 2012 re-election campaign - Goldman Sachs $50,124.

The total Obama had recieved from the top "On The Fence" heavy hitter contributor Banks in 2007 - 2008 in campaign contributions - at least $4,582,463.
So far this 2011-2012 election season , Obama recieved $240,686 from those same banks to Romney's $1,146,800 from those same banks. Any Idea why? Obama's economic policy? Recession? Obama's support Occupy Wall Street? Or are they just waiting to see where the wind blows later this year before contributing the heavy cash? My bet is on the last one.
But Romney has no chance to win - he advocates reducing capital gains taxes to zero, and the American people are not going to stand for that. He also wants to go back to removing the regulations of the Glass-Stegall Act of '33 that allowed the big banks to become too big to fail, and the American people are not going to stand for that either. He has advocated doing away with Dodd-Frank that restored parts of Glass-Stegall. If the Republicans did that, there would be another economic meltdown in five years or less.
