Among all the super PACs that have brought a deluge of big-money donations into the presidential nomination race, only the one allied with Mitt Romney has established a pattern of accepting big contributions from corporate entities that tend to obscure the actual source of the money or appear to have been created specifically as vehicles to mask the wealthy donors. Twice, the Restore Our Future super PAC has amended its reports to the Federal Election Commission after media reports indicated that contributions of $1 million and $250,000, respectively, were made through dummy limited liability companies to Restore Our Future. In each case, individuals with past associations to Bain Capital, the private equity firm founded by Romney, acknowledged they were the true source.

I've never really understood what the phrase, "getting into the weeds" means. I do now.
There had been NOTHING about Obama superPACs in the Globe. Just be FAIR.
There's no real surprise here. This is just another example of how the Mittster will say anything or do anything, no matter how reprehensible, to get elected. They will say it's the PAC and not Mitt, but you're known by the people you hang around with.

And in 2008, the candidate himself has donated $10,000 to the National Organization for Marriage supporting California's Prop 8 and pledged to fight for an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to define marriage as between 1 man and 1 woman. We need to ask Romney if he was privy to NOM's strategy memos to divide the LGBT and Black communities to facilitate their agenda, then and those subsequent through 2012.
