Newt Gingrich Billionaire Sheldon Adelson Says He Might Give $100M To Newt Gingrich Or Other Republican

We can always find 24 more Peter Theils to match this guy.

$100M is peanuts in a general election. I'm sure Paul could go it without him.

Sure, but winning over one that is bitterly against you is even better

most people who donate like that expect it 'back' one way or another.

Newt is unelectable. His unfavorables nationally are in the 60 percentile range.

Anyone dropping money on the filthy monster is crazy!

David Koch can counter Adelson.

Small donors don't.

500,000 x 100 = $50,000,000
100 X $500,000 = $50,000,000

All you need is 500,000 people who don't usually vote or donate, former Obama supporters, etc., and 100 moderately wealthy liberty lovers and Sheldon Adelson can take his Zionist agenda and shove it up his ass.

I hope he donates to Gingrich. Gingrich probably steals more votes from Santorum and Romney than Ron Paul. And he doesn't have an actual chance of winning the nomination.

And Sheldon most certainly does.

Message = Money

Under the right circumstances, maybe.

That doesn't explain Romney and Gingrich's money.

That's why I put up my equation

Promises + Party Loyalty = Money

There, that explains theirs.

People donate to Paul to promote the message of liberty.

If I were Ron Paul I'd call him up and ask for a one on one chat, RP would be the best for his beloved Israel, and by far the best for his businesses. Sometimes you can win over the adversary by taking it to them personally.

This guy is a Zionist, he doesn't care about whats best for Israel.

 

[sailingaway]

David Koch can counter Adelson.

Koch is a corporatist with a guy on the Fed board who therefor doesn't mind it at all. I think he backs Ron only if he thinks Ron is winning.

However, if he got the nomination, Koch might to some extent. Not 100 million.

Bad news from Adelson

Well screw him.

Obviously Adelson is just another lobbyist who the Israelis themselves protested against during the Summer of 2011. If he truly cared about Israel, he would side with their people, and give them independence!

Peter Theil is estimated at $1.5B - Adelson at $24B -- Adelson is equal to Koch or Soros as far as dollars go -- his political influence is just in the open, like the article states... Rather then setting up hundreds of not-for profits, foundations, corporations etc. to funnel the money through.

 

[Lishy]

I don't care whether or not he's Jewish. His stance on Israel is hypocritical because he's the establishment they were protesting AGAINST throughout July and August of 2011!

If he's soooooooooo damn concerned about Israel that there must be "Anyone but Paul", then why the heck NOT elect Paul, and get rid of the lobbyists and war profiteers in Israel who exploit the people!?

 

[EaSy]

It's not just about Israel, but also about preventing Romney from winning. Mormons oppose gambling, remember.

I guess, Santorum also appose gambling as a imorality.
