Billionaire Adelson: ‘Limitless’ $$$ for Romney
“Forbes has confirmed that billionaire Sheldon Adelson, along with his wife Miriam, has donated $10 million to the leading Super PAC supporting presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney -– and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. A well-placed source in the Adelson camp with direct knowledge of the casino billionaire’s thinking says that further donations will be “limitless.”
Adelson, who has built Las Vegas Sands into an global casino empire, will do “whatever it takes” to defeat Obama, this source says. And given that Adelson is worth $24.9 billion –- and told Forbes in a recent rare interview about his political giving that he had been willing to donate as much as $100 million to his initial presidential preference, Newt Gingrich –- that “limitless” description telegraphs potential nine-digit support of Romney.”
This is the world wrought by the naivete and partisanship of the Roberts court.

“I believe that Republicans expect good results and usually get them.”
Depends on your perspective! In MY case, EVERYTIME a Republican gets into the White House, I LOSE economic capability, whereas whenever a Democrat gets into the White House, I GAIN economic capability!! Imagine going from 21k to 75K in four years under Clinton….but going from 75K to ZERO in nine months under Bush…and being unable to find employment for over TWO YEARS!! If you think this is false….ask those 25,000 people who were LAID OFF from United Airlines after 9/11……who couldn’t find work…who had mortgages and colleges to pay….

Billionaire financier George Soros has donated $1 million to the left-leaning super PAC American Bridge, a source with the organization said Monday.
Yes, in today’s world 1 million equals 100 million or “limitless” spending.

Wrong, Peadawg. I have been critical of the Citizens United decision from the moment it was issued, not just now when it’s clear that right-wing billionaires intend to take such advantage of it.
But it’s funny how the debate begins with “Soros is doing it too,” and when that is proved to be false, slides right into “Jay’s just mad because Soros ISN’T doing it too.”
From one false assumption to the next.

You must have been really aggravated when the last administration missed the cost of the Iraq war by about a trillion dollars, 8 years and 5,000 soldiers killed and wounded.
Sorry, had to improve your language. Wars are always impossible to budget. I don;t recall ever seeing a budget for that war anymore than I have seen a budget for Obama’s on going war in Afghanistan. Seems to me war costs are always off the books but I concede if you know better. So you justify all Obama screw ups becuase prior presidents screwed up. I don’t think that reasoning will get you very far in this world.

“Michael Vachon, a spokesman for Soros, said that the Hungarian-born financier has recently traveled to Myanmar, has been working with emerging democracies in Africa and has not been concentrating on the U.S. election. “”
Sorry, can’t trust your Vachon source.
Everyone knows Soros is fixated on turning America into the world’s most socialist country and is working with front organizations and a secret cabal of like-minded millionaires and billionaires around the world to make it happen.
And he’s only working for ‘emerging democracies’ because he knows the progression is dictatorship – democracy – socialism. It’s part of the grand plan of the secret conspiracy.

Soros and liberal groups seeking top election posts in battleground states
Billionaire hedge-fund operator George Soros is among wealthy liberal activists who have contributed to the Secretary of State Project, a 527 organization that works to put progressive Democrats in office overseeing elections in battleground states. (Associated Press)
By Chuck Neubauer, The Washington Times June 23, 2011
A small tax-exempt political group with ties to wealthy liberals like billionaire financier George Soros has quietly helped elect 11 reform-minded progressive Democrats as secretaries of state to oversee the election process in battleground states and keep Republican “political operatives from deciding who can vote and how those votes are counted.”

No, Peadawg, I have pointed out that a lot of Romney’s money is coming from the “titans of industry,” and that his money has come in big donations as opposed to Obama’s small donations, as an indicator of where political support is coming from.
But I have not complained about such donations because they at least abide by the donation limits that still survive for individual contributions directly to campaigns. My concern, as it has been from the beginning, is the enormous influence and control that a small number of people can purchase through massive, even “unlimited” contributions.
If you are not concerned by that as well, and about its impact on democratic self-government, then we strongly disagree.

“it’s a clear explanation that Soros is not an equivalent to Adelson, despite several posters thinking as such.”
It’s pretty apparent some people can’t grasp the distinction between “I’m rich and I’m not going to contribute to Obama’s PACs” and “I’m rich and I’ll spend upwards of $100 million on Romney’s PACs.”
If they can’t grasp that, there’s no hope at all discussing relative influence in a democracy.
Y’know, this rather reminds me of the situation in Northern Ireland before the troubles. Catholics had a hard time buying a home or an apartment. In order to vote, you had to own property. So a Catholic apartment renter couldn’t vote, but the Protestant landlord who owned five buildings with five apartments in each got to cast 25 votes.
And the Protestants said “yeah, so? What’s the problem?”

My opinion on mentioning the opposition party is as follows: If one applies the “but… but… but… *insert name/party here* did it” defense in addition to acknowledging their person/party’s shortcomings, then it’s fair game. However, if that defense is used as a diversionary tactic, then I consider it the flailings of a weak mind, regardless to whom it comes from.
Given this is Jay’s blog, he gets to set the topics. I don’t think he has been as hard on Obama as he could be, but that’s just my opinion. I’m not going to attack him over that as this is his blog and, by proxy, his topics. If others wish to call him out, that’s on them. I’ll still apply my opinions based on the interactions.
I tend to follow whatever the topic is when starting out. I try to wait at least to page 5-6 before venturing off unless the whole conversation has shifted. That’s just me though. I can’t answer for anybody else.

Also, from the article you linked, in the first paragraph it says exactly which regulations you are referencing:
Obama has signed executive orders imposing strick emissions and mileage standards on the automobile companies.
So going back to your original point, how is that over-regulation? Just because a commenter says so? It looks to me like the auto companies are doing fantastically even with these regulations. If it’s over-regulation, then surely there would be a net negative effect from it.

Obama has held 157 fund raisers since he has been president (more than the previous five presidents in their entire terms) including more than 90 this year. He is averaging more than a fund raiser per day. Between his more than one hundred rounds of golf and his 157 fund raisers it is a wonder that he has time to run the largest country in the world. (Maybe he doesn’t.) We know that at every fund raiser he brings in millions of dollars. I don’t have a problem with that, more power to him.

If you’ve got money and you’re a Republican, then you’re “greedy” “out of touch”, “don’t deserve it”, etc….etc. C’mon man! Being liberal means that one gets to think like a bitter, petty, prissy, CHILD. And that means demonizing anybody who disagrees, while hypocritically excusing guys on your side who do the same things you’ve just denounced. I’ve read a lot of history, and I wonder why repeatedly tyrannies get initial public support. I conclude it’s because of people like Bookman who endorse hating your successful neighbor…writers like him who peddle resentment—yet claim to be “compassionate” to justify grudges (and the atrocities that can come next—-people like Bookman set the table, create the rationalizations).

They deserve blame for their unAmerican actions, and they are dividing the country into haves and have nots and you better pick the right side or it will be 2008 all over again.

BTW, more evidence of conservatives attacking liberals: http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=6995694n
There are lots of these examples. To assume that liberals attack conservatives, and conservatives DO NOT attack liberals, is false.

What we have here is a casino advancing $10 million, so someone can stay in the game. As is always the case, the casino will hold a marker. Since organized crime initiated this system and the collection process that goes with it, we know that the casino knows how to call in markers. It’s something like the process that took place, when the preacher in Mississippi told Romney to fire his gay advisor. Romney promptly fired his gay advisor.
Now, I don’t think the casino cares about gay advisors, since they have plenty of gay employees, entertainers, and I suppose some of the hookers that ply their trade in the casinos are also gay. I think the casino is more interested in the middle east and would prefer John Bolton plying his trade in that area and at the UN. I think the casino would also prefer Paul Wolfowitz in a position to advise the defense department and the NSA and CIA. And I would think the casino would prefer a hotline to the oval office, as the casino does not like going through subordinates.
And when the casino says, “Mr President, I’m calling in my marker.” The president better have a prompt response, like he did, when he fired his gay advisor.
Better Off? No.

You need a link to see Occupy Violence?
Sorry Adam. Its not my job to show you the obvious. If you haven’t already been made aware of the deaklths and rapes involved in the occupy movement, perhaps MSNBC is not telling you everything that you need to know.

The people today that are saying Obama doesn’t have a plan to fix the economy are Bill Clinton, Ed Rendell, James Carville, and Douglas Schoen, Democrats all.

Wow, theres almost 5 million people in the metro area, and you have seen 2.5 million cars with hate bumper stickers?

Sorry Adam. The net result was horrible. Many people lost jobs and the amount the government had to pay for the few jobs gained was millions per job.
I doubt your sincerity in saying you’re sorry. I wonder why I doubt that….
The net result was not horrible. More people have jobs in the automobile industry than did before, and sales are way up. There is also absolutely NO reason to think that the car companies that took bailout loans won’t be able to repay them, as you claimed earlier, also resulting in a very small net loss for the government tax dollars, compared to all of the so called “conservative” estimates (heh) that have come out on this issue.

So I gather there are no rich liberal democrats! So I googled:
Report: 237 millionaires in Congress,
That’s 44 percent of the body – compared to about 1 percent of Americans overall.
CRP says California Republican Rep. Darrell Issa is the richest lawmaker on Capitol Hill, with a net worth estimated at about $251 million. Next in line: Rep. Jane Harman (D-Calif.), worth about $244.7 million; Sen. Herb Kohl (D-Wis.), worth about $214.5 million; Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), worth about $209.7 million; and Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), worth about $208.8 million.
So do you drive by liberals see the D’s in this list! Once again liberals are liars.

Lot of 1%’ers with the Prez last night. Lot of them at Cloony’s house. Most dumb as a rock and wouldn’t get caught near a 99%er. Most of these folks are indulged with the ” it;s cool to be liberal” and haven’t a clue that the people they have no use for ( middle class working folks in fly over country, clinging to their guns and religion)are the one’s who buy those movie tickets that allow them to support their “cause’ with a voice. Most movies now LOSE money for a reason.

I didn’t ask you to show me violence. I asked you to show me proof of RAPES and DEATHS, your original claim. You keep moving the goal posts. THAT is a REAL waste of time.
