Now, you can sell these items with little hassle and the added benefit of supporting Governor Mitt Romney."

I`m ok with saving landfill space and all,but jeeshhh.

I thought he was richer than god.Not sure,but he`s given his own campaign, about 2/3s of it`s money.A shit load of money.

It`s one thing if you lose, when you`ve spent other people`s money.When he loses,it`ll be a double loss.All that money,.. down a rat-hole.

This strikes me as cheap and desperate.But I see your point about it`s creativity.

It is a win/win.
I think I read that Romney is worth about $600million.
And he started a business and made most of it himself.
He did a great job turning the olympics around.
So, I think we need some new ideas in Washington.
Someone e-mailed into the Lou Dobbs show tonight and said; "The Congress is spending our money on everything but us!"

The auction software probably can't handle bids as high as that would produce.
