How do you feel about Paul Singer (known as The Vulture) funding Romney & Ryan's run for the Presidency of the United States?

Paul Singer has contributed a tremendous amount of money to the Republican Party. He is known as The Vulture due to a lawsuit that he filed that took $400 million dollars from an organization that was intended for the treatment of Cholera in the Congo – this lawsuit was deemed illegal by the UK & Germany & Holland, but the money was taken by Paul Singer’s hedge fund & went into his account.

I think it is another example of the fact that the wealthiest Americans think that they can do whatever they want to in the United States & in the world. But I have been wrong before – tell me what YOU think.

While I disagree with his politics, I certainly feel it is his right as a human being (not as a corporation) to spend his money as he sees fit. Or perhaps I should say “throw away” his money as he wishes.

Said another way – I can’t think any worse of him. So it really doesn’t matter.

Okay, this guy is scum, but I am glad he is wasting his money on this election. I am always glad to hear about millionaires pouring money into elections, because it ends up helping the economy. Meg Whitman put $140 Million of her own money in an election try she had no chance of winning.

I feel the same as I do about Sheldon Adelson, who has said he needs a Romney Department of Justice to not prosecute him for bribing foreign officials and money laundering..He admitted last week that he is spending millions on Romney “for defense”.
