The pro-Obama Super PAC Priorities USA has run a coordinated campaign
to smear Mitt Romney’s character, even going so far as to suggest he
was responsible for the death of a woman by cancer. That campaign has been financed in part by Steve and Amber Mostyn.
The wealthy Texas attorneys have contributed $1 million to Priorities USA, along with $500,000 to the Democratic House Majority Super PAC, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
The Mostyns were some of the first people the Super PAC turned to earlier this year in an effort to finance its campaign of personal attacks on Romney, according to a New York Times report.
Priorities strategists Bill Burton and Paul Begala went to Key West, Fla., in April to meet the couple on Steve’s Italian-made, 60-foot-plus yacht—one of three he owns—and asked for a $1 million donation. Burton showed the Mostyns raw footage of prospective campaign ads on his iPad that later would be used in ads portraying Romney as a corporate villain who heartlessly closed factories and fired people for profit.
They needed the money right away, Burton told them, in order to “define” Romney early on in the race. “It’s what the Bush campaign did to John Kerry in 2004,” Begala reportedly told them.

I just had to look up his ethnicity, because he's the big Democratic funder, and I was right. I also saw his name listed with gun control.
Karl Marx must be smiling down from leftist heaven.
