Sheldon Adelson To Lavish $71 Million In Casino Money On GOP Super PACS, Nonprofits

[Lakhota]

By Peter H. Stone

WASHINGTON -- Casino billionaire Sheldon Adelson, whose net worth makes him one of the world's richest men, is on a check-writing spree that will soon bring his total political contributions in this election cycle to at least $71 million, according to sources familiar with his spending. That money is spread across the spectrum of GOP super PACs, which are required to disclose donors, and nonprofits, which are not.

Adelson and his wife, Miriam, along with other family donations, have already reached $36 million, including $10 million to the Romney-backing super PAC Restore Our Future that was reported this week. But two GOP fundraisers familiar with his plans say that Adelson has given or pledged at least $35 million more to three conservative nonprofit groups: the Karl Rove-linked Crossroads GPS, another with ties to billionaires Charles and David Koch and a third with links to House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.).

Adelson, 78, is a staunch supporter of the Israeli right and a strong foe of American unions.

The Supreme Court ruled that treason is legal.

Who the hell does he think he is?

George Soros?

 

[healthmyths]

he's trying to counter the anti-business, anti-Las Vegas Obama who said:

You can't go take a trip to Las Vegas on the taxpayer's dime'...
You don't blow a bunch of cash in Vegas when you're trying to save for college."


"Perception is reality," said Republican Rep. Joe Heck, who represents southern Nevada. "After those statements were made, we had conventions call and pull out, so it did in fact cost Las Vegas business."

Obama, after mocking Las Vegas trips, will raise money there today


Twice President Obama made derisive comments about traveling to Las Vegas. The tourist-based economy of Nevada is still suffering from a double-digit unemployment rate.

But Vegas is an okay place for the president to raise money. He'll be there today to do just that.

I have a question. Will Obama ever apologize for his gut-checks against Las Vegas?

at least this guys is amercian and made his money here primarily, as opposed to the money changer , Mr. Soros, but hey...its all good. Obama can glad hand all he wants, if someone steps up to throw money at a rep. the sky falls.

Who the hell does he think he is?

George Soros?

All these disgusting yids make me want to vomit. Adelson has one goal: Israel. He even admits he doesn't give a shit about the conservative cause in America. Pro-choice, etc.

Jews with money, a big problem. They don't have the good of us in mind. They have the good of THEM in mind.
