All the Racket on Ricketts

The campaign to "strip and flip" America for profit.

MITT'S HITS! Music for the 1% by Mitt Romney and Gordon Gekko




On the Money Trail

Posted by Romney-Gekko Staff on May 17, 2012

In light of recent attacks on our friend and patron, conservative billionaire Joe Ricketts, the Romney-Gekko campaign is calling on our friend and supporters to move whatever money you don’t have secreted away in the Cayman Islands or Swiss bank accounts over to his new SuperPAC.

Ricketts deserves our support not only because he is among the fellow filthy rich, and we’ve all got to stick together, but because he is a living example of what can be: sponsoring a racially-polarizing campaign that could tear a divided nation even further apart is the kind of “we’ll stop at nothing” approach Gordon Gekko and Mitt Romney personify.

We are also proud of his attempt to show, as the liberal rag the New York Times put it, “how a single individual can create his own movement and spend unlimited sums to have major influence on a presidential election.”

Of course it was only a piddling $10 million so it’s not like he was all in or anything. And he did sort of wimp out in the end and pretend he didn’t have anything to do with it after selling of his TD Ameritrade stock for the exact amount of the proposed ad buy. We still say:  You go Joe! America needs rich guys in the White House.
