NEW YORK (AP) — Casino billionaire Sheldon Adelson is making another huge campaign contribution aimed at electing Republicans and voting President Barack Obama out of office.

One of the world's richest men, Adelson is donating $10 million to the campaign activities of the billionaire Koch brothers. A person familiar with Adelson's pledge confirmed the donation Friday, requesting anonymity to discuss the private arrangement.

Adelson has already contributed $10 million to a super political action committee that backs likely Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, Restore Our Future, and $5 million to each of two organizations promoting House Republicans.

During the GOP presidential primary, Adelson and members of his family gave $21 million to a super PAC promoting former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.

This miserable Zionist whore for Israel had this to say about his military service in an address before an Israeli group:


“I am not Israeli. The uniform that I wore in the military, unfortunately, was not an Israeli uniform. It was an American uniform, although my wife was in the IDF and one of my daughters was in the IDF … our two little boys, one of whom will be bar mitzvahed tomorrow, hopefully he’ll come back– his hobby is shooting – and he’ll come back and be a sniper for the IDF,”

“All we care about is being good Zionists, being good citizens of Israel, because even though I am not Israeli born, Israel is in my heart"

and Lieberman, along with those like both of them whose first loyalties are to Israel, would simply emigrate there and renounce their US citizenship.

The man moves to protect his current and (most importantly) his growing future wealth by any means possible ...and the middle class REP constituency supports this because he is an 'employer'. My ass.

They were honest about what they were. People like Adelson make the Mafia look honest!

What disgusts me about him is how he profits on human misery. I wonder if he explicitly thinks that income disparity is a good thing for his business? After all, the richer the rich people are, the more money they can afford to lose in his casinos, and no harm done. Meanwhile, as poor people get more desperate, they are probably more likely to see gambling as a desperate last chance. Of course they can't afford to lose the money, and there is real harm done--but how much does he care? Not at all, or even less.

People who profit by exploiting other people's weaknesses disgust me. His ugliness goes right to the bone.

For what it is worth, I think America's only chance in this election is to find effective multipliers so that small donations can negate his millions. In other words, we need to encourage him to flush his money into black holes. I think that might be possible if President Obama turns his back on Romney and goes on an offensive against the neo-GOP Congress. You'd think there is NO amount of money that could make West look like a decent human being, let alone someone who should sit in Congress.
