From Newsmax: Romney Backed by Goldman Sachs, Bailout Banks
"The top donor to former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney's presidential campaign, investment banking and securities firm Goldman Sachs, received over $10 billion in emergency lending and bailouts from the Federal Reserve after the 2008 financial meltdown, according to public sources and published reports."
Are you kidding?
Are you telling me that our bailout money is now funding the Romney campaign?
Are you telling me that the guy that stashed his fortune in other countries is taking cash from me?
Of course that's what they're telling me! I just wanted to make sure you folks all understood that...especially you who think Romney is oh so much better than Newt Gingrich.
Mitt Romney, golden boy of the old-school GOP, is accepting blood money!
I wonder how much Romney's cut is...
Did they sit at a little card table in a smoky backroom and divvy it out?
Did Romney's people drop a dime and shake 'em down?
Maybe his investment company, the one that handles all of his investments and "he doesn't know where his money goes", Bain made the phone call!
Oh, this stinks!
Bad, bad Mitt! Go to your room, without supper!
While you're at it, skip the election, and keep the money.
Send it to The Caymans. You're gonna need it!

Not taking Goldman's side, but it seem that they hedge they bets by contributing to both sides of the aisle, including BHO-check out their current list of top recipients for the 2012 election cycle:

Look at the amounts! Did you not notice?
Also, nothing for Newt?

I have always been confused by campaign contributions--how do we figure out if they are given by the actual company or someone who works for the company and lists their employer (hope this question makes sense)?
Wish I could find out too when did they give this $$$ to the candidates--you are correct Jeff--Romney's amount is so much more than any of the others (and isn't it interesting that they gave more to Kristen Gillibrand and Marco Rubio than BHO)?

After I posted my reply, I went back to "opensecrets" and came across this--while it lists "Individual Contributors"--and denotes if they gave to Dem/Republican--doesn't state exactly who (unless I go through each of them individually to see who they gave to and sorry to say, I don't have the time to do that).

Yes, Jeff, good point. Maybe the lesser amounts to Republicans are "seed money" for people they expect to see in significant positions in a Romney administration!!

Looks like a crap shoot, playing all the fields. The best kind of game is getting to play with someone elses money, what's there to lose?

None of these guys are the real deal but one of them will be our Nominee. I'm voting for whoever it is. As far as Newt all I have to say is 'Moon Colony", "Pelosi" and "Freddie Mac Historian", "Wives" and "Right Wing Social Engineering" and the stink sets in.
Instead of tearing down candidate couldn't you try to build Newt up. If you want to talk about a campaigning on tax dollars I know of "the ONE" 5 state swing which was on the taxpayers dime. Let's keep in mind that the General is coming quick and Lincoln-douglas debates aren't going to win the general.
I'm Romeny (He has made the ballot in Virginia and Missouri while Newt and Rick haven't). Currently, Only Ron Paul and Mitt Romney are ready to run a national campaign. The others are on fumes.

I'm saying we ignoring whoever goes into the general is going to be way behind Obama. I/ve seen enough. None of them bring a passion to me so I'm looking to find the best candidate for the general.
Newt had less Money thean Tim Pawlenty at the end of 2011. Tim Pawlenty wasn't even running. Newt and Rick have missed making the ballot in Missouri and Virginia. It seems to me Mitt and Ron Paul are at least ready to make a run on the national scale.

@ Kevin I diffantly agree, They have organized themselves along with there commitees so people would surely want someone that could at least show organization to run for the United States President. There is a lot of non organization you see in the Obama campaign. They say this, they say that and who knows which side of there mouth they will be lying out of next! They can't even get a budget together the pure reason why we have to go with someone whom is organized!
