Yeah, but that is comparing apples to oranges. First they criticized where Romney got his money from and then by the time they got around to looking at Obama's campaign donations their opinion evolved so there is in fact no hypocrisy or flip flopping.
P.S. Obama crushed McCain in fund raising in large part because of Wall Street and big business.

I love how the Democrats/liberals pretend that Romney is receiving most of his campaign contributions from the very rich and from corporations. He might have been during the heat of the primary season, but stats for May seem to indicate that may no longer be the case.
From the article...
Um...Romney is receiving most of his campaign contributions from the very rich and corporations in terms of raw money. 93% of contributors =/= 93% contributions.
What is strange though is why they are not also funding Obama, I would figure they would want him in their pocket as well to protect some of the favorable tax treatment they get that is about to expire soon. Not to mention there are a whole lot of things like (carried interest, and insurable interest in credit default swaps that Obama might be more inclined to deal with if he isn't losing much for it.)

Seems the MSM has taken the choices away from the Tea Party types.

They are also funding BO. Some to a lesser extent this time. BO has more indi contributions, but he gets a ton from Big Industry, GS etc... Top Contributors to Barack Obama | OpenSecrets
My guess is they think MR will allow their agendas more so or they think MR needs more help then BO. Notice these corps sit on the fence. They play both sides, can't lose that way. You can see how they backed BO in 08. Currently BO has less from these groups, but the most money.
Romney sent me a letter wanting money but unfortunately it was the same day he was playing pat-a-cake with the Latino bunch. Not only did I not send a donation, I decided that if that is the way he is going to play it; he lost my vote too. No I am not voting for Obama, but someone out there surely is not planning to leave our country undefended from these Hispanic invaders. Our country is under attack and no one seems to realize we need these people to go back where they belong. Closing the borders and putting these illegal people on a plane back to where they belong would solve most of our countries problems. I am really not interested in making Mexican leaders happy. It is time to think about real American citizens.
Mitt Romney has made no concession and has not changed his position on illegal immigration. Just because he spoke to a group of 'legal' hispanics doesn't mean he is not going to address the illegal immigration problem. Like it or not, hispanics are part of our country...just as any other demographic. Would you have him just ignore them?

Because they don't think Obama is going to win. They are not going to throw money in on a losing proposition.
I wonder why so much importance is placed on how much money a candidate raises? I don't think I am at all influenced by how many ads are run, or whatever else they spend the money on. Unless one of them is planning to buy my vote for A LOT of money, it doesn't matter to me.
oh sheesh are romney and obama supporters arguing about campaign donations?
what the.
didnt we already ESTABLISH THAT ROMNEY AND OBAMA are exactly the same anyway?
they both are getting money from the same people which are corrupting the nation and destroying the economy.
JUST LEAVE IT AT THAT already.
the vampire squids of society. leave it done.
admit it both are corrupt.
your choice will be evil vampire on this end or evil squid on the other.
and together they make vampire squid
