Elite Romney fundraisers party under Cayman Islands flag
Some excerpts :
TAMPA, Fla. -- Elite fundraisers for Mitt Romney's presidential campaign kicked off the second full day of the Republican convention aboard a luxury yacht flying the flag of the Cayman Islands.
ABC News reported on the Wednesday morning reception aboard the Cracker Bay, a 147-foot yacht owned by Florida real estate baron H. Gary Morse. It was described as an exclusive event for those who had raised at least $1 million for the campaign. According to ABC, Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell was scheduled to speak and Romney family members, including the candidate’s brother Scott, were in attendance.
Democrats were quick to circulate the story, gleefully highlighting the flag of the Caribbean island nation, known as an international tax haven. Romney's Cayman-housed investments have taken political fire from President Obama's campaign, which has sought to portray Romney's legal but exotic finances as proof that he is out of touch with average Americans.
