Yes, I was a little surprised by the news. It was also interesting to learn that, like Orrin Hatch's big money guys, this fellow makes his cash by multilevel marketing.

The most worrying thing about that website entry is the story it tells about the way this billionaire supporter of Romney uses frivolous defamation and copyright suits against the humblest individual who writes anything about him that he doesn't like.

The copyright suits even prevent victims of these tactics publishing the letters that his lawyers send them

It really is as if the First Amendment had never been passed. Won't it be wonderful when a man like this is a friend of the President?

Let us not forget the Soros-Moore-Buffet triangle holding up the Obama presidency.

Sort of like DCP's threats, attempting to quiet his distractors, only this billionaire has the $ to back those threats up.

I just love the fact that each one of you is prudent enough not to mention his name. I feel like I'm in the Harry Potter world. Ha!
