    Adelson is determined to do all he can to make sure President Barack Obama is not re-elected. Wonder why the rich don't want President Obama re-elected?

    I suppose that they are giving a total of 20 million to that organization out of the goodness of their hearts, without wanting anything in return.

    I heard Obama has out raised Romney by a substantial amount. Doens't that mean that more crooks gave to Obama then?

    It should be illegal that a person can buy the Presidency of USA.

    This is obscene! And then he goes to open casinos in Spain...

    Spread that Chinese Communist money around, Sheldon.

    Wow, what a waste of money. It probably would have been more productive to flush it all down the toilet; that way, at least some poor people might find it at the mouth of a sewer drainage pipe and have their lives changed....

  8. trex close to a $100,000,000.00 to the gop, .....and expects ...NOTHING????? IN RETURN ?????

    So, no more talk by republicans about George Soros; not when the GOP has the Koch Brothers and Adelson. Absolutely no more talk about George Soros.

    Guys like Adelson don't just give $20 mil away unless there is a clear payback. Couple this with the fact that Romney has been like a leaf in the wind on every issue. Where ever the wind blows so does he. Frankly, the possibility of Romney being president should scare the #2 out of most competent and honest individuals.

    From day one, the Romney/Rove campaign has been nothing but in-your-face lies, quotes out of context, flip flops, et-cha-sketch, for it one day/min, against it another. I'm not saying Obama is anywhere near perfect, but you have to be pretty gulible or blinded by fear and hate to buy the BS the republicans are selling these days.

    Uh Oh. So this is the direction our democratic republic is headed. It's time for a referendum on campaign financing.

    Most of the money at the federal level is off-set by the other side. And te press record everything the candidates do and say. But I imagine at the state level this guy is a king maker.

    Something is terribly wrong in America since the SCOTUS ruled on Citizens United. Here in Canada we find it odd that your Supreme court can`t tell the difference between a person and a corporation or money and speech. Then again, you can`t even get on the Supreme Court of Canada unless you can tell the difference between a fish and a bicycle.

    So what. I wish he would give more. Perhaps we should have presidential elections EVERY year to get the money of the wealthy out of their pockets and into the system where it helps the economy.

    These two are trying to buy this election for Mitt Romney, and what do they want for over a Billion Dollar them have spend trying to get a Republican elected. You don't spend that kind of money for Nothing, Mitt Romney can't be trusted.
