"Sheldon Adelson Willing to Spend $100 Million to Beat Obama"

[KansDem]

The Obama campaign should have a counter-ad that shows families, children, workers, etc. holding what modest funds they have to beat Romney.

For example--


I want last week's tip money to go to defeat Mitt Romney so we can have decent jobs here in America!


I'm contributing my grandparents' graduation money to defeat Gov. Romney so we all can have affordable college!


I'm donating part of my last paycheck to defeat Mitt Romney so all Americans can have access to health care!


Mommy, would you take my allowance and use it to beat Mr. Romney so we can have good schools?


Might take some of the wind out of Mr. Adelson's sails...

1. Maybe he'll

commit suicide when O wins.

2. Adelson has made his fortune off the gullible

and he's spending part of it to flim flam the same gullible idiots who spend their hard-earned money in his casino. Too bad I hate gambling because I'd enjoy boycotting a douchebag who contributes even less to society than a drug dealer. How is it that a guy who runs a giant den of vice that draws the life's blood out of addicted suckers gets an ounce of respect in fundieland and in our media?

4. There's an interesting tidbit about him in the latest issue

of Vanity Fair. It's included in the article on Bibi Netanyahu. Apparently Adelson is a major financial and political backer of the prime minister, going so far as establishing a newspaper that is friendly to him (he felt the other publications treated Netanyahu unfairly, so in the spirit of being "fair and balanced"......)

Must be nice to be rich enough to buy politicians in TWO countries.

6. This fucker needs to be called out. Publish his addresses, his phone numbers, his schedules.

He, the Kochs, all of these billionaire fuckers need to be tracked and shamed.

7. Go for it, you Rustoleum-haired asshole.

At your age you'll never spend your fortune on something honest anyway.

He's a sick old bastard.

9. Seriously, how does this public pledge get past campaign finance laws?

The PAC fund is SO obviously going to e tied to Romney. It's an individual contribution, and there's got to be some form of illegality in that.

10. If it is illegal it has to be prosecuted in court. It can be challenged to the SCOTUS.

Good chance they will rule in the oligarchs favor.
