Romney spent 100k to hide records.

Romney staff spent nearly $100,000 to hide records | The Raw Story

Obama spent 1.4 million to hide his records.

Romney spent 100k to hide hide his records, BUT used Massachusetts tax payer money.

Democrat or Republican, if you spend money to hide something then you should have no business running for president. Politician=Corruption. We need to get someone in the White House that is for the people and not for Lobbyist!

Re: Romney spent 100k to hide records.

AP - Evidence is mounting that Romney owned ALL of the New Kids on the Block records on vinyl, as well as several bootleg live performances by the band Hanson.

If either story turns out to be true, and Romney ordered the records to be hidden, this could result in election fraud, sources say.

A Truck Driver or an Electrician who has been married for over 25 years and never f-cked another women or another Guy.

Well that won't happen until you VOTE for someone that isn't Republican or Democrat, because both of those parties are as corrupt as hell, and would rather be beaten by the other side than to be beaten by a 3rd party candidate. The biggest fear from the Republicans and the Democrats is that a 3rd party ever emerges to where they can stick around. Until that happens, it will be the same dog and pony show from both parties, because they're both in the pockets of the lobbyists and that will never change. That's the "Washington Way" and that's not changing until you find someone from another 3rd or even 4th party. We will never get a candidate that's for the people from either side, because that candidate would get torn apart from his own party. Politics in America have turned into the worst cesspool on both sides, because they're both the same. They just have different bullet points to use as hot topics for the most part to trick Americans with and to get them emotionally concerned.

I didn't vote on the last election because I had it with Republicans after Bush and after I saw what McCain was selling. And anyone that would have actually bought into Barack Obama needs their head examined, because that guy stunk of being nothing but a cheap salesman from the jump with almost no executive experience at all. All of the promises he made flew out the window really fast didn't they? Democrats got fooled bad on that one.

Great source Raw Story, keep going there you might find some balance.

Gingrich wants to hide the ethics report, all 1,000 pages of it, is that ok??

Interesting how you cite a source for Romney, but not for Obama did Red State tell you 1.4 million?? Or did you hear about it??

Karl Malone for Prez!

Karl Malone is gassed up for another run in the NBA - 04.27.92 - SI Vault

Quote:

The Mailman has a game plan all worked out for Malone Enterprises. He will spend a portion of every off-season making runs, short ones or long ones, in his truck. Kay and Kadee can travel with him; the tractor is equipped with television and VCR, stereo, refrigerator, microwave and even a fax machine, not to mention ample sleeping room. He will charge a "Malone rate" of $5,000 and up per run, far steeper than the average trucking-company charge of about $1.25 per mile. But after delivering the goods, Malone will sign autographs or make a personal appearance, whatever is spelled out in the contract. Then, too, the rig itself is a show. Smith's Food King, a large Utah-based supermarket chain, has already hired Malone to make two short runs from Salt Lake this summer, one to Ogden, Utah, and another over the state line to Idaho Falls. Idaho. Malone's main problem will be fitting the trips in among his Olympic responsibilities.

When Malone's playing days are over—"and my marketability isn't as high," he says—he'll buy a few more rigs and run Malone Enterprises like a standard trucking business. "A lot of guys have dreams about what they want to do when they retire," says Malone, "but I'm already living my dreams."

Malone climbs into the tractor (real truckers consider cab a greenhorn term and use cither tractor or truck to describe the front part of an 18-wheel rig) and backs out of the garage ever so carefully, not at all like he drives to the basket. It happens often that Malone is sitting at home, maybe eating or watching TV, and suddenly he misses his rig so much that he must go visit it, just to check out the paint job or maybe take the tractor for a spin. Malone has even driven the rig to practice to show it to his teammates, though the taste of the average NBA player runs more to Lamborghinis and Porsches. But Jazz center Mark Eaton, a mechanic before he was an NBA player, told Malone that he would like to make a run with him.

As Malone drives, waving and subtly acknowledging the stares from virtually everyone on the road—"Hey, that's the Mailman in that damned thing!" one man hollers to his wife as he pulls alongside Malone at a stoplight—his love and appreciation for truck driving comes through. His greatest fear at the moment, aside from Utah's performing poorly again in the postseason, is that he will be taken for a dilettante. Ever since James Davison, a Louisiana Tech alumnus who owned a trucking company in Ruston, La., first let him handle an 18-wheeler when Malone was 20, he has been preparing to be a real truck driver. Malone studied, he drove, he talked to other drivers, he immersed himself in the lore and the mechanics of the profession. And last month, with beating heart and dry mouth, he passed, on his first try, the test to acquire his commercial driving license.

PolitiFact | Donald Trump claims Obama has spent $2 million in legal fees defending lawsuits about his birth certificate

Quote:

In an Oct. 27, 2009, article, WND reported that, according to filings with the Federal Election Commission, the Obama campaign had paid approximately $1.7 million to the campaign's law firm, Perkins Coie, since Obama was elected.

So that's where we started our research. We did our own tally of payments made to Perkins Coie, all of which were reported, as required by law, in quarterly disbursement reports filed to the FEC by his campaign organization, Obama for America. We found that in the last quarter of 2008 -- which is roughly the period after Obama was elected in early November -- and the first three quarters of 2009, which is when WND wrote its story, Obama for America did, in fact, pay Perkins Coie $1.7 million. If you add in the payments made in subsequent months, the fees paid to Perkins Coie between October 2008 and December 2010 rises to $2.6 million.
...
Specifically, the payments by Obama for America to Perkins Coie covered all sorts of legal expenses -- not just expenses related to birth certificate issues.

The FEC forms do not specify what each payment specifically went for, since that degree of detail is not required by law. We also couldn't get additional details from Perkins Coie or the Democratic National Committee about how the legal fees were spent.

So,there is no way to really know how much was really spent on the COLB stuff.

plenty of dishonest electricians out there, too. (I'm sure the same goes for truck drivers, but I only know one or two.)
