Cayman Islands flag flies on "Cracker Bay" yacht hosting a party for $1,000,000+ donors to Mitt Romn - Polidicks

[img]http://abcnews.go.com/images/Blotter/abc_flag_mitt_romney_dm_120829_wmain.jpg[/img] [quote='ABC']Gov. Mitt Romney's campaign toasted its top donors Wednesday aboard a 150-foot yacht flying the flag of the Cayman Islands. The floating party, hosted by a Florida developer on his yacht "Cracker Bay," [B]was one of a dozen exclusive events meant to nurture those who have raised more than $1 million[/B] for Romney's bid. "I think it's ironic they do this aboard a yacht that doesn't even pay its taxes," said a woman who lives aboard a much smaller boat moored at the St. Petersburg Municipal Marina. Romney's Cayman-based investments have come under fire during the campaign. [B]The event, attended by no more than 50 people, along with Romney relatives, including older brother Scott, appeared on no public calendars.[/B] ABC News obtained a schedule of the Romney campaign's "Victory Council" and waited dockside to speak with members. [B]"It was a really nice event. These are good supporters," said billionaire Wilbur Ross, an energy industry executive.[/B] Spencer Zwick, one of Romney's top fundraisers, said the event was not to raise money, but simply to thank donors. Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell was scheduled to speak. [B]Registered in the Caymans, and flying a version of the Caymans' "civil ensign" or merchant flag,[/B] the Cracker Bay has an impressive art collection and can seat 30 for dinner. [B]The Cracker Bay is owned by Gary Morse, developer of the Villages retirement community. Companies controlled by Morse gave nearly $1 million to the pro-Romney Restore Our Future superPAC.[/B] [B]Romney to date has declined to identify the names of his top "bundlers" -- those who gather checks from scores of donors on the candidate's behalf. "He is the first nominee in 12 years to withhold these names,"[/B] said Sheila Krumholz, executive director of the Center for Responsive Politics, which tracks political money on the website opensecrets.org. "These are the most important insiders," she said. "The public needs to know who these people are because thy are the one's who stand to gain the most from a Romney presidency." Her group and others have gathered more than 20,000 signatures from people calling on Romney to name his top bundlers. Campaign officials at the event declined comment."I think Gov. Romney is going to do what he has to to follow the law," Gov. McDonnell told ABC News. [B]Among those attending was Mel Sembler, a former top supporter of President George W. Bush and Charlie Moncrief, an oil executive from Texas, and his wife Kit. Other guests covered up their nametags as they exited for waiting busses and SUVs to take them to their next event.[/B] Kit Moncrief said she and her husband had pledged to raise $1 million for Romney. When asked about the fundraising, she said: "We don't like it either, but it's the system," she said.[/quote] [url]http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/romney-party-yacht-flies-cayman-islands-flag/story?id=17105028#.UEA0btZlTYi[/url] If I were to put everything that writes itself in the OP, it would double in length.

That is a nice looking boat he has there.

Hah, cracker bay

What is the significance of this? The fact that he said thanks to donors or the fact that it isn't 100% 'murican.

Why is it that I find politics so damn depressing...? ...Oh yeah.

It's funny because all of them probably store their money at the Cayman Islands, and then Romney is going to get us out of debt? Uh huh

buncha crackers in cracker bay throwing around their cracker money

[QUOTE=Onyx3173;37478017]That seems like a pretty significant fact. Especially considering that these people are funding Romney's presidential campaign.[/QUOTE] Their names are obviously "Rothschild" "Vanderbilt" "Rockefeller" "Ford" "Illuminati"

[QUOTE=Chernarus;37477849]What is the significance of this? The fact that he said thanks to donors or the fact that it isn't 100% 'murican.[/QUOTE] Probably because it's a bunch of rich people on a private boat congratulating each other for paving the way for Romney's campaign with their oversized wallets.

[I]Cracker[/I] bay? seriously? that sounds like a joke Stephen Colbert would make.

[QUOTE=Chernarus;37477849]What is the significance of this?

.. that is indeed a damn good looking yacht.

[QUOTE=latin_geek;37478190][I]Cracker[/I] bay? seriously? that sounds like a joke Stephen Colbert would make.[/QUOTE] One of the people who went to his little party owned a company called Straight Inc. [editline]31st August 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Onyx3173;37478017]That seems like a pretty significant fact. Especially considering that these people are funding Romney's presidential campaign.[/QUOTE] I don't want to cause some weird conspiracy theory bullshit, but when you hide the names of people who [del]bribed[/del] donated you money, then that would raise some eyebrows because you would want to flaunt around the big names of people who donated.

[QUOTE=Chernarus;37477849]What is the significance of this? The fact that he said thanks to donors or the fact that it isn't 100% 'murican.[/QUOTE] His tax history is under question, and the Caymen Islands are renowned as a haven for ultra-rich dudes to funnel their money to secret accounts, outside the reach of the IRS. This is evidence corroborating the claims that Romney has illegally dodged his tax obligations. I mean, it's only circumstantial, but it's at least enough to raise the eyebrows of those who are paying attention.

[QUOTE=Dysgalt;37477602]That is a nice looking boat he has there.[/QUOTE] It isn't his. It belongs to Mr. Morse, the Super PAC doucher that forced all those miners to attend Romney's rally.
