While billionaire casino mogul Sheldon Adelson may have rescued Newt Gingrich’s campaign in its early days, today, he may have just buried it.
Bloomberg News reports that Adelson, who has donated $11 million to Gingrich’s Super PAC, does not plan to send any more money Gingrich’s way. Bloomberg is citing an anonymous source “familiar with their deliberations,” though an Adelson spokesman declined to comment.
The move seems to be weeks in the making. After poor showings by Gingrich in the last several races and the re-resurgence of Rick Santorum, the former House speaker has once again been pushed to the back of the Republican field. And Adelson may be shifting his focus. According to CNN, Adelson met with Mitt Romney in Nevada last week and “assured Romney that he will be behind him 100 percent should he become the nominee.”
What may be more alarming though is as money seems to be flooding out of the Gingrich camp, it appears to be heading into to Santorum’s, no doubt helped by his three-state sweep Tuesday.

That's just business my friend...we all do as much for those who are our "clients" as well though we are aware of their failures......
Furthermore there isn't much that's ever going to be done about Fannie or Freddie, as I see it they are a huge slush fund used and abused and that's about it. Newt tried to straighten them out...they wouldn't have it....done deal.
In what way was his company a paid “shill”? He stated that they did not follow his company’s advice. Are you implying his company should have worked for free?
I am patient with those who do not understand and need explanation(s) (repeatedly even), I tolerate difference of opinions (of course, we are not all from the same backgrounds or wish for identical lives). What I cannot abide are people who are dishonest, deceitful, or willfully ignorant, especially when these attributes are coupled with a desire for destruction of people’s lives and livelihood when someone ‘gets in their way.’
20 minutes ago I requested that you post an article or link to a dated article upon which you made accusations against Newt. I'm still waiting for that.
Now you post additional opinions. Since you are want to throw accusations against Newt, repeatedly, you should have handy url's to dated articles upon which you base your opinions that you state as if they are facts. The onus is upon you to support your opinions with facts.
And all this will come out - but too late - if we get him as a nominee.
Newt’s performance record is already there, and it’s a good one. He’s the only one who can and WILL stand up to BHO. Many just don’t know him yet other than from tons of negative ads by MR and internet misconceptions that aren’t true.
Newt has bold and very specific step by step plans on what he’ll do after being elected in November. The others only speak in generalities and platitudes.
LOL, check your research, d00d. You sticking to that 1987 and 1988 timeline?
As a mere consultant to Freddie, it is inconceivable that he would have known anything more about negative practices that we’re going on in the company than Congress or the public would have. Let’s also please not pretend that what happened in 2008 was predicted by hardly anybody even a matter of months before, smart or otherwise.
Gingrich resolved the frivolous ethics charges around January 1997. He later got reelected in November 1988. Please explain to me how at that point, he resigns BECAUSE OF the ethics charges. All the news media at that time, MSM or otherwise, says he resigned because he wasn’t going to be reelected Speaker because the Republicans did bad in that election year probably because of a backlash against the Clinton impeachment issue. Newt said he didn’t want to remain in Congress as a distraction, i.e. a conflict in authority with the new Speaker. Most people would naturally not want to remain in a group after receiving a demotion and essentially working for people who used to work for you...it’s not human nature.

Ethics Investigation
In 1999, after a 3 ½ year investigation, the Internal Revenue Service (under President Bill Clinton) concluded that Gingrich did not violate any tax laws, leading renowned CNN Investigative Reporter Brooks Jackson to remark on air “it turns out [Gingrich] was right and those who accused him of tax fraud were wrong.”
Eighty four politically motivated ethics charges were filed against Newt when he was Speaker of the House regarding the use of tax exempt funds for a college course he taught titled “Renewing American Civilization.” Eighty-three of the eighty-four charges were found to be without merit and dropped. The remaining charge had to do with contradictory documents prepared by Newt’s lawyer supplied during the course of the investigation. Newt took responsibility for the error and agreed to reimburse the committee the cost of the investigation into that discrepancy. In 1999, after a 3 ½ year investigation, the Internal Revenue Service (under President Bill Clinton, nonetheless) concluded that Gingrich did not violate any tax laws, leading renowned CNN Investigative Reporter Brooks Jackson to remark on air “it turns out [Gingrich] was right and those who accused him of tax fraud were wrong.”
*Of course that should reelected in 1998.
And the “kicker” is Newt will do it.
Santorum was a paid shill working for an agency that was engaged in activities that helped drive our country deep into debt in the 2000s. That agency was the U.S. Congress.
As far as I can determine, Rick has accommodated GOPee in the past, and I think they probably think they can work with him.
I also think they are having second thoughts about Romney, but they still like him because of his money that he is no doubt willing to use to help the other GOPee candidates for the senate and house elections.
Newt's time and money have to be prioritized, to get the biggest bang for the buck. IIRC Santorum's win only got him 3 committed delegates.
Newt is spending his time and money in places where he is more likely to win, and where the delegates are binding wins. JMHO. It is what makes sense to me.
That he has. As a for instance: Specter.
Zotted!! Awesome.
I guess that means you can’t back up your lies against Newt with actual facts now, right?
“And the “kicker” is Newt will do it.”
I know he will.
He scares the establishment and the left so much that they’re totally committed to crushing him - this alone should say a lot to all the nay-sayer conservatives around here. I think it’s the highest recommendation any conservative candidate could have - but one that only Newt has.
We need to help him - not the forces we claim to despise.

Yeh, I am thinking he may be plan b, in case Romney keeps making Biden type gaffs, and can’t lock in the nomination quickly enough.
Think you’re right. I support much of Ron Paul’s domestic policies, especially as concerns the Federal Reserve and Economy. But there’s no way he could win over the bulk of the country, simply, if for no other reason (and there would be several), because of his foreign policy (he’s off the deep end with that, imo.).
So, the only other ‘viable’ candidate FOR the GOP-e is another ‘e’ type: Santorum. They clearly do not want Newt (because they’re afraid of him.....he knows lots of their dishonest ways, secrets, and that he wants to get rid of some of their friends jobs, i.e., the bureaucrats etc.).
If the establishment refuses to recognize the base, they will find tyranny right around the corner. Newt was talking about the meld of parties. That is what conservatives have left to think about.
The links below are a great “two-fer” - First is the powerful speech that Newt gave Friday at CPAC. After that, hear Andrew Breitbart’s 16 min. speech - WOW! He talks about the dinner he attended at Bill Ayers’ house, and later revealed how this time BHO WILL get vetted - AB has videos of the radical Wan from college, and more. And he gives some cautionary and wise advice (imo) for us all.
Both talks are so worth hearing (even if it’s a second time :-))

awesome - thanks!
Your posts are *far* too sophisticated to be that of a genuine conservative who merely stumbled across this site.
You smell like a Romneybot hiding behind Santorum to attack Gingrich -- witness your post suggesting Ron Paul is the choice for a brokered convention, or this post where you say
"I have slavishly adhered to JimRob's admonition to avoid attacking the conservatives in the race - I wish you would do the same."
N00bs don't talk like that.
Nor do genuine conservatives: they would *willing* and *gladly* agree with Jim's wishes, not call them "slavish".
Is there any way to get an Admin Mod to check this guy's IP address?
Cheers!
