What is Adelson's motivation for giving millions of dollars to politicians?

Because those politicians have a lot of power over us. If our politicians couldn't affect our lives in such a big way, Adelson wouldn't spend a dime on them.

Therefore, the problem is not Citizens United. The problem is that we have given our politicians that much power.


Wake up!

from my OP source:

In addition to Adelson, two of the world’s other top-10 billionaires, David and Charles Koch (combined net worth: $81 billion) are pouring tens of millions into the 2014 midterm elections in an effort to swing the Senate to Republican control. These and other wealthy people, their political contributions unleashed by the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision, are buying the U.S. political system in much the same way Russian oligarchs have acquired theirs. (Super-rich liberals such as Tom Steyer are spending some of their fortunes to help Democrats, but they are pikers by comparison.)

I'm sorry, is there any difference between soliciting donations from Sheldon Adelson and soliciting them from SEIU? I mean other than Adelson made money and helped the economy and the SEIU are a bunch of thugs.

So why start up a thread to try and attempt to make a big deal about Republicans Adelson hmm? Perhaps to rehash the very old liberal talking point about Republicans being the party of the rich while pretending the Democrats are not if you don't want unoriginal response try coming up with a more original subject.

No, we didn't give it to them, they took it with the complicity of the courts. It's what you get when judges depend on politicians for promotions.
