When a billionaire id umping piles of his own money into a political campaign it is a bad sign. Whether Adelson, the Koch Bros, or Soros, the end result is that they want something. And that something is not just a candidate’s defeat or another’s triumph. They want something for themselves.
Sheldon Adelson is a great American patriot.
So true, I think we need some sort of campaign finance reform law or something. Lets play the conservative class warfare game.
“They want something for themselves.”
Big money and big politics, the incestuous coupling that keeps the circle of power closed to outside interests.
The billionaire just might be someone who supports something already in the candidate’s platform or their past record of governance. It’s not necessarily anything untoward. Besides, we all get to look at their platforms before voting. It’s up to the voter to decide if they like the platform or not. It’s pretty irrelevant whether what’s in the platform is there because the candidate thought of it or because they have a supporter who asked for it to be in there.
I wish I had some of Adelson’s money, instead of vice versa.

You are so right! That’s why we, as a country, are in the mess we are in.
