Ebay: Mitt Romney Flip Flop Kit (Special Edition)

The Democratic National Committee is auctioning off a special edition Mitt Romney Flip-Flop Kit.

Having apparently run out of policy positions to auction off this campaign season, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is now calling on his supporters to join him in selling off parts of their pasts too. Sure, smooth talking Mitt Romney is reportedly planning to spend as much as $60 million of his own money to win the GOP nomination. But his campaign is still looking to reverse its declining fundraising numbers by convincing supporters to auction off old belongings and give the proceeds to the campaign.

Since Romney has tried to smooth talk his way to the GOP nomination by shedding his previous positions on just about every issue in this campaign, his friends at the Democratic National Committee decided to join the fun by auctioning off Romney’s past. This one of a kind, special edition Mitt Romney Flip Flop Kit includes:

Mitt Romney's Flip Flops on issues ranging from abortion, immigration, tax cuts, the Reagan administration, gay rights, campaign finance reform, climate change, conservatism, gambling, gun control, etc.;
  • A limited edition DVD of some of Romney’s more infamous flip-flops;
  • Flip-Flop flash cards in the shape of flip-flops so you can study on all of Mitt Romney's various positions, courtesy of the Massachusetts Democratic Party.
  • A new pair of flip-flops;
  • A collectors edition foam flip-flop distributed at campaign events by a rival candidate;
  • A replica of the snowman that Mitt Romney is afraid to take questions from at the YouTube debate; and
  • A collection of Democratic signs, posters, pins and collectibles.
In order to avoid profiting from Romney’s flip-flopping, the DNC will donate an amount equal to the winning bid to a local pet shelter in honor of embattled Romney family dog Seamus.

Special note—our lawyers are making us say this—the winning bid is a contribution to the Democratic National Committee and is subject to the restrictions and limitations of federal campaign finance laws. The DNC will make a contribution equal to the amount of the winning bid to a local animal shelter. Contributions are not deductible as charitable contributions for federal income tax purposes.

Paid for and authorized by the Democratic National Committee. This communication is not authorized by any candidate or candidate's committee.

The current bid is $102.50. Click here to place your bid. You have six days to bid.

Mitt Romney doesn't have a chance at all to win the presidency. If you want to check out a real candidate with real values, check out Hillary Clinton. You won't be disappointed.

Mitt isn't using 60 million dollars of his own money.

Its 60 million dollars of pension money. That he cheated from retired people, and those that can’t retire now.
