Forbes has confirmed that billionaire Sheldon Adelson, along with his wife Miriam, has donated $10 million to the leading Super PAC supporting presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney–and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

I don’t have any issues with gambling but have no interest in throwing my money away. My issue tends to be with the sleazy factor of many casino owners.

Here in Michigan, casino owners lobbied to ban smoking in bars while getting an exemption from the law for themselves.

Bug off, bot. Your one note samba is old Mitt is the nominee. You will either vote for him or re-elect Obama. Those ARE the choices, and all your little moralizing won’t change that fact.

[driftdiver]

“You will either vote for him or re-elect Obama. Those ARE the choices,”

Arguing that point, which is also supported by Palin, Newt, Cain, & Santorum, got me in trouble around here.

[driftdiver]

I assume you are referring to mittens and not the rich guy.

Any Christian should oppose gambling for ‘moral reasons’. I’m not sure what mormons do or why this is a pertinent connection. mittens is an extremely well funded politician and this shows where at most 10% of his campaign money is coming from.

We can continue to have government of the elites, by the media, and for the money, or, we can build a political system that is truly of the people, by the people, and for the people.

I choose the latter.

WRONG, FRiend.

Mr. RomneyCARE is not YET the candidate.
IF he become the GOP candidate,
CONSERVATIVES will work AGAINST Mr. RomneyCARE -—
because Mr. RomneyCARE is NOT A CONSERVATIVE.

Neither are Mr. RomneyCARE’s supporters.

[driftdiver]

Do you consider Palin, Cain, and Santorum conservatives?

[Diogenesis]

Gov. Palin has not endorsed the backstabber and
misogynist Romney, as yet.

Romney bought most of his "endorsements"
and lied about the rest.

That said, Gov. Palin is conservative.
Mr. Cain may be suffering from Stockholm syndrome.

"Vote Count Error? Did Rick Santorum Really Win the Iowa Caucuses?
DES MOINES, Iowa - Edward True, 28, of Moulton, said he helped count the votes
and jotted the results down on a piece of paper to post to his Facebook page.
He said when he checked to make sure the Republican Party of Iowa
got the count right, he said he was shocked to find they hadn’t.
“When Mitt Romney won Iowa by eight votes and I’ve got a
20-vote discrepancy here, that right there says Rick Santorum won Iowa,” True said. “Not Mitt Romney.”

"Several UNREPORTED news reports have it that Romney
did not win the Iowa Caucuses.
Barring any objective, verifiable proof that shows more than 12 votes mistakenly
being credited to Santorum, Romney lost."

"Could Typo Rewrite Caucus History? (Santorum may regain win)"

[driftdiver]

No Palin has not endorsed Romney. She has said she will support the GOP candidate.

Most politicians buy their endorsements.

Given such a choice, I would choose the latter as well.

And Hoefling's platform looks sound.

What even Hoefling evidently chooses not to recall (since he invokes our 40th President) is that Reagan was at the end of the day an ideologically correct pragmatist. FEDGOV grew during his terms, he appointed O'Connor and Kennedy, anointed Bush 41 etc. Yet we look back on that era thinking, maybe even almost knowing, that he did about as well as he could under the circumstances.

Can we do better now than we did in the 1980s at protecting life, liberty and property, reining in the FEDGOV monster? I hope so, since the House is no longer in Dem hands. Will I vote for Hoefling rather than Romney? Maybe so, but, if I lived in a swing state, probably not.

And, lest it be alleged otherwise, I am not in saying Romney is like Reagan other than that he is at this point more likely to win election than any foreseeable alternative over an Oval Office occupant who needs to be made unemployed.

[LS]

Nope. Mitt is the candidate, andbObama apparently is your choice because you are quite clearly a sore loser. Go vote for your pal Obama.

[Diogenesis]

Mr. Cheater/BAckstabber RomneyCARE is not the
GOP candidate, yet.
So the GOP and America still have a chance.

OBAMA policies = Romney policies = Soros policies

[LS]

You can take a hike with your anti-Romney-bot posts. Romney is the candidate. It’s him or Obama, and you and perhaps two people believe that he’s the same as Obama. The rest of us are sane, and sober.

[Diogenesis]

Your support of RomneyCARE, RomneyDEATHpanels,
RomneyTARP, RomneySHARIA, RomneyBackstabbingOFconservatives,
RomneyTAXES, RomneyFEES,
and RomneyMarriagebyRomneyDecree are noted.

Real Conservatives, of course, disagree.

[LS]

Real conservatives would not for a moment ever consider voting for Obama, which is what a vote for anyone but Romney will be.
