Mitt Romney, his son Tagg, and Romney’s chief fundraiser, Spencer Zwick, have extensive financial and political ties to three men who allegedly participated in an $8.5 billion Ponzi scheme. A few months after the Ponzi scheme collapsed, a firm financed by Mitt Romney and run by his son and chief fundraiser partnered with the three men and created a new “wealth management business” as a subsidiary.

I'm sure you're equally outraged by Jon Corzine's connection to the Obama campaign.

Barack Obama has extensive and financial ties to former Governor Blagovich, fomer Governor Corzine, accused Chinese bribe master Jeffrey Katzenberg, anti-semitic, anti-American Reverend Wright, Hezbellah supporter Rashid Kalidi, convicted embezzler Tony Rezko, former terrotists William Ayers and Bernadette Dorne, and accessory to murder Eric Holder. Care to comment?

According to the story Romney, his son, and some others knew someone who pulled a con. Romney invested $10 million of his own money into the scheme. He was a lucky early person who got a measley 10% return on his investment at the most or a 1% return depending on who you believe. Other than that, the article offers no evidence that Romney or his son was involved anything illegal. Don't you have anything better to do with your time Louis?

By the way, the author Lee Fang has a habit of formulating less than accurate stories for the Center for Progress an extreme left wing think tank.

I guess this is sort of like that "seven degrees of separation" thing, where you can relate anybody on the planet to Kevin Bacon.

Yep, that about sums it up.

. . . and there are those schemes concocted by George Soros to break the Bank of England, and his negative impact on the ASEAN and that illegal foray into 'insider trading' that netted him a 2005/2006 conviction in France. What degree of separation is he from Odumbo -- one!?!

Being rich isn't a crime. If Romney were dirty, we'd know it by now. You don't think the Obama campaign doesn't have teams of people tearing Romney's history apart? There's no there there. Romney's rich; so what.

Obama calling for "candidates" to be as transparent as possible" and for Romney to release his tax returns is laughable since ALL his [Obama's] records are sealed. Romney needs to get in the trenches with Obama and fast if he wants to win.

[WTF]

Or make Odumbo publish each of the following documents for each year of tax returns Romney publishes (but make sure Odumbo goes first):

• Official U.S. passport records
• Occidental College application, records & transcripts
• Columbia College application, records & transcripts
• Harvard College application, records & transcripts

A truly dogmatic slogan if I ever heard one. Romney’s Republican nomination opponents weren’t “transparent” presidential candidates and opaque presidents.
