    That looks like a setup to me. A registered independent suddenly realizes Romney is opposed to gay marriage? Who's dumb enough to write a $2500 check without knowing something like that, and then is willing to advertise his ignorance?

    It seems like the guy wrote a check to get publicity later. He's almost certainly got more than $2500 in advertising out of the deal.

    I've never heard of someone with ulterior motives being involved in politics, especially involved with the republican party.

    I don't understand what your point is.

    Do you think that this independent who gave the maximum allowable amount to Romney has suddenly had a change of heart?

    If so, then I can see why you'd think the story was worth reading (although I'd wonder if you were a bit gullible). If not, I wonder why you'd link to something that you don't think is true.

    The contributor changed his mind after watching a Romney speech opposing gay marriage.

    What is hard to understand? That a Republican was so stupid that he idealistically hoped that his candidate would remain discretely demure and wouldn't explicitly oppose his sexuality?

    Or that a Republican was so crooked that he tried to pressure his candidate with a campaign contribution, and then vengefully punished him by asking for a refund?

    Was the Republican stupid and naive, or crooked and vengeful? Quite a quandary.

    Damn. And here I've been using boring hetero money all these years. Can someone tell me where I can get gay money? I'm sure it's far better designed than hetero money.
