I believe that the Republicans still have more total money to spend than the Democrats even IF he had one month of good donations.

Romney was destroying him for months in a row. Suddenly Obama has one month where he raked in decent amounts and the Liberals crow about that while they ignored those other months where he got his clock cleaned.

But the fact is that as soon as Romney got the official nomination, he could then begin using the GOP's money which was untapped until them.

Using paid credit cards to make donations so they cannot be tracked is illegal.
Willard is funneling in million and millions of overseas dollars from front groups like the US chamber, but I guess that's not an issue, correct? .

The vast majority of Willard's donations are from his puppet masters like the Koch's and Adelson.

Nope.

The fact that you know where it's coming from shows it's legal.

Untrackable donations are illegal.

And that differs from Obama's donations from George Soros and others like him in what way?

Well, about that September donation. . . Bob Woodward suggests Obama may have been off his game during the debate because he was very concerned about, and trying to block, a story from breaking about $150 million in campaign donations from untraceable contributors through prepaid credit cards. He was investigated for this in 2008, also in September, but it apparently dropped since he was elected and agreed to return a specific contribution of $33,000+ which came from the "Palestinian Brothers." We have to wait and see what turns up on this.

This isn't good news for Willard, that's for sure. Obama's base is fired up and Willard's is falling off.

If both camps have enough money to fight through election day, then why does it matter who "stomps" the other in campaign donations?

Mitt Romney has plenty of money. That's all that matters.

Because this is the ONE and ONLY month where Liberals can crow a bit.

Of course it's irrelevant, but most everything Liberals post is irrelevant.

Uh, that's the whole point of front groups like the US chamber, to hide funds from overseas donors like the communists and islam nations, to donate on their behalf to the GOP thugs. But yes, we know the right winger's don't care, just as long as they are getting these funds

How much has soros donated, and how many lavish fundraisers has he had with Obama?

Sounds like you are PROJECTING.

Hannity and some other douche crying "conspiracy!" What a joke

Though again, how much as soros donated, and how many lavish fundraisers has he had for Obama?
