Breaking: Adelson to give Gingrich-backing super-PAC another $10 million
Hot Air ^ | 1:20 pm on February 17, 2012 | Ed Morrissey

So much for conservative consolidation:

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich’s faltering campaign is about to get another shot in the arm, CBS News has learned.

Billionaire casino magnate Sheldon Adelson plans to give another $10 million to the outside group backing the former Georgia lawmaker who is running behind former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum in the race for the Republican presidential nomination, a source close to Adelson told CBS News.

Adleson and his family have already given $11 million to “Winning our Future,” the super PAC backing Gingrich. The group, which bombarded the airwaves in South Carolina last month ahead of the primary there, is largely credited with helping Gingrich win in the Palmetto state.

The latest $10 million cash injection would raise the Adelson family’s contribution to $21 million, and a different source close to Adelson said he is prepared to drop another $4 million for a total of $25 million. The Huffington Post calculated that the billionaire casino owner earns about $3.3 million an hour.

WHO WILL ASK, AND WILL HE ANSWER?

http://www.thepostemail.com/2012/02/16/top-12-for-2012-questions-for-barry-soetoro/

Election time is upon us once again. For clarity of the issues facing the candidates or challenging candidates to even appear on ballots for 2012, a simple engagement (preferably on camera) of inquiry provided in the list below should reveal the most pressing Constitutional issue facing America. For every candidate these types of questions have been routine and required to be sufficiently, accurately, and honestly confirmed to receive their Party nomination, that is, until the 2008 election, when none of the questions were answered and independently confirmed for Barack Hussein Obama.

Perhaps the 2012 election will be different. The more discerning voter has reasonable doubt that the last election was legitimate because of a questionably ineligible candidate on the ballot. This suspicion can be alleviated by obtaining the answers to twelve questions which Barry Soetero, aka Barack Obama, has never PERSONALLY answered.

Where and when did you formally (legally) change your name from Barry Soetero to Barack H. Obama?

What hospital in Hawaii will/can confirm your birth record?

With which student status (resident, foreign, etc.) did you apply for student loans at Occidental, Columbia and Harvard?
Have you ever traveled to Russia?

Having run as the most transparent candidate, why do you block all access to past records?

Since your release on April 27, 2011 of your Hawaii birth record, can we the American people see the microfiche of the original since you have nothing to hide?

How do you respond to the computer, Adobe®, and graphics experts who have declared your “long-form birth certificate” a forgery?

How did you secure a Connecticut Social Security number while living in Hawaii?

In transparency that you consistently affirm, would you commit to an independent DNA test confirming your claimed biological ancestry?

Can you explain the motivation for signing Executive Order #13489 sealing all records of your identity, passports, school attendance, college records, Selective Service registration, etc.?

How did Bill Ayers (he only lived in the neighborhood) have authorization to pick up your kids from school?

As a sponsor (with Hillary Clinton) of Senate Resolution 511 confirming McCain as eligible for the office of POTUS during the 2008 election, how do you qualify as Article II, Section 1 Constitutional “natural born Citizen” with a non-citizen father?

As a sponsor (with Hillary Clinton) of Senate Resolution 511 confirming McCain as eligible for the office of POTUS during the 2008 election, how do you qualify as Article II, Section 1 Constitutional “natural born Citizen” with a non-citizen father?

Those running and debating for President of the United States only need to ask Barry Soetero the above short list of pertinent questions to establish legitimate law-abiding grounds on which to proceed further into the campaign. Unless the above questions are accurately and provably dealt with, there is NO election by law. There was no legal election in 2008, since the issues are unresolved and continually pending within the corruption of Congress, Department of Justice, Homeland Security (think of it, a usurper has authority over these agencies), CIA, FBI, State Department, NSA, etc.

May integrity rule where it has declined. May the new candidates be filled with humble boldness to ask penetrating, truth-seeking, and law-abiding questions, and in so doing, secure a leadership that is from the people, for the people and by the people.

Yes!! I remember you telling me not to believe that last story because of it’s “source”.

I was a little worried, but of course, you were correct!

I’ve been such a negative nellie lately and am trying hard to get out of this slump.

You, FR and all the great peeps here certainly help me to do so.

The love is right back at you! I’m surrounded by the enemy here and you, as well as a few others, help me retain my sanity.

They “killed” my Sarah, they “killed” my Herman but I CANNOT allow them to kill my Newt......and you help me in doing so.

From here on in, I will NOT allow BS “sources” to bring me down.

He gathered us all here for a reason. I need to focus more on that then the “king of Lies” and what it spews.

Ubama is COUNTING on Myth being the GOP candidate.

He has spent hundreds of millions of dollars preparing for running against him.

Merely depriving Ubama of Romney as his opponent assures his defeat.

That’s why the progressives and the rino’s fear Newt...the 80 year lurch left will be stopped and the direction reversed. Especially if Newt goes after the courts!

I’m the real curmudgeon. I recall the early reports of Adleson donating $20 mil, and then reportedly another $5 mil. Then we hear the total was but only $10 mil. Now we hear he grosses $3 mil, per day, and he lays another $10 mil out for Newt, finally, after leaving him starving and $600,000 in debt for now WEEKS, while Adleson dates Myth, and mumbles some financial strategy about who he will be lending support when Newt should fail. $20 mil altogether? Okay, thanks, but could he cut the romance with Myth at least and keep his mouth shut? It was embarrassing, if not for Newt, it was for me.

If I am wrong and the media lied, please, let me know. Would love to ne wrong.

That’s why Newt needs to keep the establishment in the crosshair and continually ask the American People to stand with him.

By tying Romney, Santorum, and Obama was well as the (some of the) congresscritters of both party as members of the establishment he’s a winner.

O’Reilly really giving Santorum a tough time on his religion. When will he question Romney’s

Check the sources Rita. At time of FL he gave him another five million, but Newt only spent four and that wasn't all from the PAC. I think Newt doesn't really want people to know how much he has or his PACs have or where he is spending it.

Romney has been releasing lots of false information, like Newt's Press Conference in NV was because he was withdrawing. The man is just as evil and Obama, media matters and the MSM. All are ginning up the coverage cause they're lazy SOBs and have an agenda.

There is a lot of “stratigery” going on.
