Inside Romney's fundraiser at the Boston Garden

They blasted "Baba O'Reilly"?

After everyone was seated and ready to go we first heard from Meg Whitman, CEO of Ebay (I didn’t get a good picture of her). Then they dimmed the lights a little and we watched a short video that was much like a campaign advertisement, and then someone announced Governor Romney and his wife over the loudspeaker. They played loudly over the speakers part of the intro to The Who’s Baba O’Riley.  I’m a big Who fan so that got me even more stoked than I already was.

Baba O'Reilly??

Here's a good question from the comments section:

When do we find out how much money they got that day???

I thought it was interesting too, considering last time, there was an awful lot of hoopla in the newspapers the next day over how much money he made. 

Out here in the fields
I fight for my meals
I get my back into my living
I don't need to fight
To prove I'm right
I don't need to be forgiven

Don't cry
Don't raise your eye
It's only teenage wasteland

Teenage wasteland
It's only teenage wasteland
Teenage wasteland
Oh, oh
Teenage wasteland
They're all wasted!

You include the words to Baba O'Riley as if questioning what kind of message the Romney camp is sending by playing that. You'll note that I wrote in the post that they played only part of the intro, there were no lyrics.

Though I've heard estimates that they made about $2.5 million to $3.5 million, it's hard to say because some people entered donations directly into the database using their quickcommitt programs, while the majority filled out papers that had to be entered in later. The process took at least 4 days. I know because that's when my all of my contributions I received (by hand)were finally showing on my account.

I've never been to your site before, nor do I plan to return. Not because you are about defaming my obvious candidate of choice but that you choose to employ your time tearing someone down, instead of supporting the candidate you feel worthy of the post. Seems like such a waste of time and does no good except make this world more cynical.

Nate,

The music is a strange choice, to say the least. Whether he used the words or he didn't, human tendency is that the words go through your head.

Cynical, schminacal. If you've closed your mind to information that tells you that you're being misled into the leadership of a man that is strange and deceptive, you've been sucked up into the vacuum of mind control.
