God Bless Sheldon Adelson. He makes being Jewish special. As an American Jew he is setting the bar high for all of us who are Jewish in America. We must step up and support the conservative causes.

He is passionate about the American values and Free enterprise. Additionally he is a strong supporter of Israel. Israel is America’s only trusted friend in the Middle East and Obama is set on destroying that small country.

Mr. Adelson you are an AMERICAN PATRIOT.

I missed it, so feel free to explain.

From what I can tell, Adelson can sense that Obama is not pro-Israel and Romney is.

That is beyond the obvious that Romney knows the private sector creates jobs and Obama thinks the government does.

Probably a factor on why Palin didn’t enter the race.

First, it is NOT about $$$$$$$, it is about CONSERVATISM.

Mr. McRomneyCARE has NONE.

Second, Soros Backs Mr. McRomneyCARE.
And they are partners in biz, too. But who cares, right?

I was grateful when he was supporting Newt.

As a successful entrepreneur, he knows when it's time to invest.

Good for him.

Romney was my least favorite candidate.

That said, whatever he did with healthcare was at the state level, not FEDGOV.

Per the 10th Amendment, the states and the people are free to make stupid mistakes.

On the other hand, FEDGOV is not free to trample on our rights.

An Adelson quote from the article:

I’m afraid of the trend where more and more people have the tendency to want to be given instead of wanting to give. People are less willing to share. There are fewer philanthropists being grown and there are greater expectations of the government.

How true.

Why Is Newt’s Biggest Donor So Opposed to Santorum?

Mr. Adelson doesn’t oppose Mr. Santorum, but he doesn’t share the former Pennsylvania senator’s socially conservative positions, including his strong antiabortion views,

But he can't get away from his Democrat and Socialist roots and prefers RINOS.

Not likely this guy will ever donate money to a real Republican.

The GOP-e should have thought about that part first. If you can't fire up the base you won't have folks getting out the vote.

If you beat down the base they might ignore you too. Popularity in elections is only partially a purchasable commodity.
