To be elderly, super rich and white bored to death and wanting to own a nation, because truth be told they already own the politics, government and courts! Yet they pay very little if any taxes and get the government to pay them Billions in federal Substidies! They create wars to further enrich themselves and lay off massive amounts of workers to gain more profits! While paying for their politicians in office to pass laws that only benefit them! How special!

Adelson, Steve Wynn, Mayor Goodman & the chamber of commerce are trying to return LV to its former self. Without BO the economy and LV will have a better chance.

Wrong, Vegas was sinking fast by mid 2008! Vegas's troubles all began out of immense greed and on W's watch.

Adelson would give 10 million to Fidel Castro if he were running against President Obama. Citizen United gives this old elitist the opportunity to pour money into the Romney camp...

"Dirty money" - if you live in Nevada as i do, you know most of Adelson's money is "dirty" in one way or another. I'm still surprised he has a gaming license; usually the State Gaming Commission is smarter.

This shows what kind of backers Romney attracts. Adelson is the guy who said he's ashamed he wore the uniform of an American soldier.

So - if any of you are planning a trip to Las Vegas (or, as my grandson called it "Lost Vegas"), I hope you'll boycott Adelson's holdings. Stay somehwere else and gamble somewhere and show you're an American, not an anti-American sympathizer.

SOOOOO

I can't quite put my finger on it...

I am CLOSE though.....

I think of the faces of EVERY SINGLE ONE of these Billionaires and they ALL have SOMETHING in Common but it is on the tip of my tongue!!

OK all snark aside... I am not QUITE as old as these men are but for those here too young to remember these men and I lived in a time where in many parts of this Nation a White Janitor could walk up to a Black Doctor and call him anything he wanted and the Black Dr. could do NOTHING about it but TAKE IT!

This is the world THEY MADE.

Have you noticed you don't see the 30- 40 year old Billionaires running for the right? This isn't about Money it is about THEIR WORLD COMING TO AN END!

These men of wealth and misery are on their last legs and WILL go down fighting to restore the PAST until their last days.

Most of them will be GONE in 8 to 10 years. I say we make SURE they see that it is THE PEOPLE who run things now and we do not tolerate THEIR kind in OUR NEW World.

You do have the Power you know.

That is all

I.m not as optimistic as you. I think they already dragged us down to the point of no return. It was their agenda all along. Reassure me some more.

Another Republican spending their ill-gotten gains to stifle the wishes of the people. This is almost not news. What is news is the amounts and that they go to places they can hide behind. Obviously Adelson is not getting the hide behind part. His ego seems to be getting in the way of his efforts to buy the head of state.

Now Newt knows how his ex-wives feel when getting dumped.

All that money and look at his hair. Can he afford a decent dye job and stay away from Trump's stylist?

Do you think the right wing billionaires are giving money to these guys for your benefit or theirs?

No one that is not delusional would think so. Unfortunately, half the nation is delusional.
