Mitt Romney’s fundraising for the last three months has him dominating his rivals. According to the Washington Post, Romney has raised $18.25 million, a sum vastly higher than Ron Paul, Tim Pawlenty, Jon Huntsman, and Herman Cain. In fact, Romney raised nearly $3 million more than those four combined.

On the other hand, Newt Gingrich, who has seen his campaign lose its steering wheel and its engine in the last couple of months, brought in only $2 million, and, according to Politico, has only $225,000 in the bank and is approximately $1 million in debt.

“Romney and Gingrich” is most certainly a tale of two candidates going in very opposite directions.

Israel’s spin is so unbelievable that he has abused even the politician’s privilege of dancing around the truth. He sounds like a cheating child who’s tossing a tantrum because his playmates won’t play fair.  Read more

I was up way too late last night checking my twitter and facebook to see who loved me one last time when I came across an interesting and stunning bit of political news.

Remember last summer when our dear Nancy Pelosi declared that Tea Party goers were “Astroturf” and disingenuous? I wonder if she would be willing to eat her words today after I read the following story.

Apparently some of the people proclaiming to be anti-Tea Party activists, are really laundering union money thru a shell company and several fake 527 groups run by two prominent DC lawyers. Sadly, this is not illegal. Read more
