NYT: Mittens may have raised $100 million in June (will unleash negative ads on Obama)

New York Times: "People close to the Romney campaign say it could close its June fund-raising books having collected an additional $100 million, possibly more, a tally that would exceed all expectations and further extend the overall Republican financial advantage in the race."

"With that cash influx, Mr. Romney's team is preparing a new advertising campaign that will aggressively portray Mr. Obama as a craven political figure, rather than the transformative leader he pledged to be."

Individuals can only give up to $2500 if the above fund-raising is referencing "individuals" (including the bundling of individuals) vs PACs.

to not watch nor hear them-Mute buttons or disconnecting from providers are our best weapon.
If we refuse the exposure they've wasted their money. I want them to spend, spend Big-spend it All and get the same return on their investments as they've given us for ours. NOTHING
They've Spent our tax dollar contributions Unwisely without our consent. Our money was spent on tax-cuts for the uber wealthy, wars & undeserving bank bailouts etc then promise cuts on progs intended to receive tax dollar funding.
ENOUGH.
We already know the message-We already know the lies-so Why "go there"?
Shut them Down. Vote 'em out and prove Money-Big Money has No Voice with which to Speak.

yeah, they quote Obama out of context and spin it around, but the quote on it's own isn't that damaging.

The private sector is doing fine. Their profits are up, their stocks are up, they are starting to hire again. Sure there are problems but in comparison to 3 years ago they are doing fantastic!

Also with slighty different wording, different voice overs and graphics.

The more you hear it, the dumber and more monotonous it sounds. Reminds me of a nagging little kid who keeps asking why why why why...

A real turn off.
