Romney campaign data mining your personal info

Romney has raised hundreds of millions of campaign dollars by using a secretive data-mining project that sifts through Americans' personal information.

But he believes in small government and privacy.

Doesn't change what he espouses as his belief about government, does it... But thanks for playing.

This is the best you've got today Raees? Ever stop to consider that the place the information that you are saying is being mined is information which you yourself have provided to Facebook, Dun & Bradstreet, Linked-In and a host of other sites? These are the places that you should be upset with because they are the ones who sold that information which you provided to them. If you didn't give them permission to sell your information, then there are no veins of information to mine.

Was it for partisan purposes that you didn't include the portion of the article that noted:

Obama's campaign employs its own form of data analysis to lure potential supporters, via Facebook and Twitter, to fine-tune messages for supporters and potential donors.

I know that it wasn't mentioned until the 17th of 22 paragraphs by the "reporter" for the AP that the Obama campaign is engaged in data mining of it's own, but I thought I'd mention it in case you didn't make it all the way through the article and had missed it.

I just visit Drudge and Rush once a day for a cookie, and the lefties don't bother me. :)

If you want to be, press one. If you want not to be, press 2

Republicans are red, democrats are blue, neither of them, gives a flip about you.

You lefties keep grasping as the economy continues its tailspin under Obama's watch.
