Romney Campaign spends $500 at Chick-fil-A

Mitt Romney Romney Campaign spends $500 at Chick fil A

The latest New York Times report on presidential-campaign spending has been published and two cold hard facts stand out.

One, Romney and the RNC have $62 million more in the bank than Obama and the DNC, mainly because the president’s massive grassroots organization is exceptionally costly to run. Two, Romney’s campaign spent nearly $500 at a Chick-Fil-A in Atlanta. On July 23 no less, when a whirlwind of liberal complaints nearly drove Chick-Fil-A out of secular coastal existence.

According to Google Maps, there are 10 Chick-Fil-As in Atlanta. It’s not listed in the report, but I’m going to go out on a limb and guess this is the Chick-Fil-A at the CNN Center, which is situated next to luxe hotel The Omni—a favorite chain of the Romney campaign, according to Think Progress.

This Chick-Fil-A allows online ordering, so I tried to order $500 worth of gay-hating fast food. This proved difficult, considering the most expensive thing on the menu is $4.49, which will treat you to a 12-pack of savory chicken nuggets.

Here’s my order:

  • 22 Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwiches: $67.98
  • 33 Chick-fil-A Chargrilled Chicken Club Sandwiches: $153.45
  • 25 Chick-fil-A Chicken Salad Sandwiches: $98.75 (I’m surprised they let me order this because chicken salad sandwiches are kind of gay.)
  • 10 Chick-fil-A Nuggets – 12 pack: $44.90
  • 21 Chick-fil-A Spicy Chicken Sandwiches: $70.35
  • I left 30 bucks for some sodas and fries. The tax came out $34.83 but I’m assuming Romney’s campaign only paid about 13% of it, if they paid any tax at all.

    What’s this prove? The Romney campaign is not eating clean, and the potential benefits of P90X will be far outweighed by their carb-heavy intake. Also, they likely outspent Epic Meal Time when they did the fast-food lasagna thing.
