Las Vegas Billionaire Gives $5 Million to Pro-Gingrich Group

MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — A Las Vegas billionaire with ties to Newt Gingrich has given $5 million to an independent group backing the former House Speaker’s presidential bid.

A person familiar with the situation said casino mogul Sheldon Adelson made the contribution Friday to Winning the Future, a pro-Gingrich super PAC. The person said Adelson would spend heavily to assist whichever candidate wins the Republican nomination.

Adelson is a longtime supporter of GOP candidates and has been a friend and backer of Gingrich for many years.

Gingrich’s campaign has struggled since a super PAC supporting Mitt Romney spent $3 million on ads attacking him in Iowa.

The Washington Post first reported the $5 million contribution. Politico reported last month that Adelson was prepared to spend $20 million to help Gingrich.

    Newt = Buchanan

    Romney = Bush Jr

    Same thing all over again…

    The man that could actually change things for the better, Newt…is being over looked, in favor of a more ‘Generic’ flavor…Romney or ‘Bush’ type…

    It will be the 2000 election cycle all over again…elect a generic Rep, vs electing one who could actually make a difference and whom actually is educated on how to get things done in DC

      While I appreciate your support of Gingrich, as I support him as well, tying him to Pat Buchanan is a major-league insult. Buchanan is a nativist and hasn’t half the intellectual firepower that Gingrich has.

      I don‘t WANT an ’intellectual’ President. I want a President with common sense, no fear of the media and the ability to not only get things done, but choose the right people around him to get them done. The electorate is once again allowing the elite faction of the GOP (aka RINO’s) and the media to choose our candidate–and that really worked out well for us with McCain, didn’t it?!

    What is really funny is the democrats pointing their finger at the evil rich republicans while they have three fingers pointing right back at all of the millionaires in their party. If the evil rich are all republicans how and the hell did the dems raise so much for obamas war chest? All of the omission of caps is intentional. Are you are as sick of the complete dishonesty and deciet from the left as I am? I am amazed by the complete disconnect of the lefts supporters from the truth and fact that the mainstream media are propagandists not journalists. If Americans don’t seek truth instead of bs to further their cause, we will no longer remain a Republic, and everyone will loose.

      Newt is the ONLY candidate that could (and would) verbally chew Obama up in a debate…..and he would do it without a teleprompter. He’s certainly not the perfect candidate, but he has for the most part a proven track record. He can get this economy turned around, get the federal deficit down and stop the financial entitlement bleeding. Let’s not kid ourselves, the “prince” occupying the white house together with his minions and czars fear Newt the most. They are attempting to trash him. If he gets the nomination, which I doubt he will, they will begin their full court press from the MSM to the basketball court.

Now Juan McCain is coming to Mitt’s aid… HAH… a Judas Kiss that’s for sure. But so okay – one moderate helping another moderate or is it one RINO helping another RINO?

      Watching last night’s debate just affirmed my conclusions that Newt is the best candidate the GOP can back to face Obama. As usual Newt was articulate and eloquent (without the aid of a teleprompter). He refused to be confined by the narrow bandwidth of the questions asked. He presented a broader view framing his answers in a bigger context. This cerebral approach is what makes Newt a more formidable foe to go against the Anointed One, his royal highness, Emperor, Tyrant, and Usurper Barack Hussein Obama. Newt’s experience, Congressional negotiation skills, and myriad ideas on how to steer America in the right direction makes him the best POTUS candidate to elect in 2012. Enough with the Mitt Romney-Ron Paul Barnum and Bailey circus maximus already. Time to coalesce behind one GOP candidate – Newt Gingrich, strategize and take action to defeat this useless, inept White House Occupier (WHO) – with no disrespect to the band of the same name intended.

    The third clue is Romney’s confidence is arrogantly high… The GOP has already made its decision…

    You are looking at a Romney – Obozo run for the White House in 2012… A vote for one or the other of those clowns means we as nation are in for more of the same, but don’t worry the FED will just keep printing money and 60% of us will be able to go about our daily lives… It is the other 40% that will suffer the most.

    NOT specific to Gingrich, but…
    PACs need to be eliminated by a constitutional amendment that sets term limits, campaign finance reform to a limit of, say, $100 per donor. Restrict donors to registered voters. No unions, no PACs, no non-profits, and the left will love this, no corporations. This means you monetary “vote” will count just as much as soros’, or that of this las vegas billionaire, or Romney’s super-PAC buddies, or the koch bros.

      That is the only way that we can go the constitutional amendment route seeing the Supreme Court just allow the expansion of the super Pacs, there is no other way around it and right now feels like it might be the appropriate time to push your legislators forward on this idea, that will let them know that the citizens of this country demand this change. Until the elite feel the pressure nothing will change. The only other way is to become an informed citizen and understand who would what the person you’re going to put in office to represent you truly believes and actually has a track record to follow through and what they say. it is my understanding that the Democrats as well the Republicans are losing their bases more & more people are becoming independents like myself and both parties fear that because they don‘t know which way we will vote in other words they don’t have a secured vote and that really really scares them seeing the rise in the independents. Why do you think they put so much emphasis on the independent voting block because they cannot control us, so as some people have said maybe an independent party might be an option in the future just my take.

    Newt has my support because he is able to actually explain how and what Obama is doing, not just call him timid names like the rest. It’s like they are afraid they are going to be called something or alienate someone, to which I think Newt is beyond that. Of all the candidates, Romney has been running for the past five years and he walks around like it is owed to him to be the nominee (kind of like that Hillary thing a few years back), and then the liberals got even dumber than before and Obama showed up, inexperienced, secretive, and everyone was happy with that, but I’m not.

    When a presidential candidate is talking about organizing, getting backers, purchasing companies, building them up and selling them, ummmm, no, part of this reeks of a golden spoon in the mouth of someone thinking he went through all the wickets and is his to have handed on a silver platter, supported by the lamestream media and the Democrats want him as their opposition, no, Mitt Romney is not the one for me, give me Newt. Not only does the media hate him, the Dems aren’t saying anything about him, hoping he will just go away. I don’t want Newt to go away, I want the Progressive opposition to go away permanently.

    Failure of a career politician named Ron Paul

    Paul, who has served 11 terms in three different stages dating back to 1976, didn’t get a single law passed until 2009, when he authored a bill that allowed for the sale of a customs house in Galveston, Texas. Failure is often the norm in Congress, where only 4 percent of proposed bills get a President’s signature, but Paul’s approach to lawmaking is particularly suited to not getting things done.

    Of the 620 bills sponsored by Ron Paul during his long career in the House of Representatives, only four have ever made it to a vote on the House floor and only one of those became an actual law. An analysis by The Washington Post shows that Paul’s success rate of 0.2 percent falls far below that of most legislators, as Paul has chosen to stand up for his personal crusades, rather that build coalitions for more popular, but less ambitious, proposals.

Personally I believe that Newt Gingrich would have the guts to ask Obama why he and his wife gave up their law license, something most lawyers don’t do. He is the only man that will actually ask the questions to make the president look like the person that he is but most importantly he will have facts to back up his accusations and not be afraid to throw the arrow.

Don’t make the mistake of being overly impressed by a good debater. A nice skill to be sure, but to be truly successful in the game of debating, you have to be able to argue both sides of the coin without prejudice and by definition, good debating skills could in fact indicate no true ideological core.

      Newt cannot be trusted, just ask his myriad marital partners. I remember people claiming that Clinton’s private life had no bearing on his ability to be president. It was moronic to say it then just as it is today.

      I remember hearing about a film made by Republican congressional staffers in the early 1990′s and shown at a get-together with congressmen. It showed a wall covered with banker’s boxes. Each was labeled “NEWT’S IDEAS”. Newt & other congressmen laughed. Then the camera zoomed in on a side table with an index card box. That box was labeled “Newt’s GOOD Ideas” Newt stopped laughing.
      The more things change . . .

      READRIGHTHERE, forget the marriage stuff, it is a ruse to throw us off. it has nothing to do with the poor shape we are in in this country. Don’t get off track, it’s a Saul Alynski tactic and you are falling into that trap.Newt was able to bring the right ideas and get them passed during the Clinton administration and he can and will do it again. We need a pitbull to get the country running again, not a poodle. Newt has my support a lot more than anyone else right about now.

      >>> You’re being played America..Gingrich is the man the left really is afraid of.

      Oh how right you are.

      I went to Vegas for the first time and swore I would never go back … BUT….I will be looking up which casinos Mr. Sheldon Adelson owns – and I WILL GO BACK TO VEGAS !
      On the other hand – maybe I could interest Mr. Adelson some oceanside property in FLORIDA to open a casino here (heart be still ) ????

      People change. Glenn Beck did.

      Read Newt’s book TO SAVE AMERICA, before dumping on him people !

      Did everyone but me know about Obama’s religious war Newt spoke about ?
      I was shocked. Going to go read more about it.

      readrightthere let’s have the discussion with Fannie and Freddie, shall we back in the 70s there was a program called Farm home loans which entailed the amount of your income base to the percentage was the amount of the mortgage, now these were not custom homes mind you but what was considered tract homes. As your income rose the higher your mortgage would go for my brother and friends of mine it was a perfect opportunity for them to own a home and feel proud. This was primarily set for low income wage earners which gave them a hand up not a handout. But the way our society has become most wouldn’t even respect the opportunity that was given them because in their eyes they want it for free. Mr. Gingrich probably if asked would show you the amount of income that he derived from said organizations. He has already stated the net was 35,000 that should not be too hard to disprove if inaccurate would you not say, Mr. Romney will not allow us to see his tax returns as he is stated he feels it‘s none of anybody’s business really? The same thing should be asked of the president how can your net worth be 10,000,000+, because I would like his financial advisor.

    After tonight’s debate, I can’t see how Romny could be the nominee. Newt would never allow the media to bully him with an irrelevant question like Romny was tonight. Romny couldn’t even handle Stephanopolous; how’s he going to handle the Obama big red machine?

      Actually, arresting judges is a “bad” idea. It would be best to give them time if the crimals that they allow out say in 3 months commit a crime, then the judge should also do the time!

      So you really think the ninth circuit should exist? I think what he was trying to convey with the absolute corruption in our courts for instance the one recently in California stealing $2500 from Neiman Marcus, how about Floyd Mayweather in Las Vegas being able to wait until June to start to serve a 90 day sentence because he says he has a fight may that would bring great revenue to the city. I think that what he was trying to tell us is that where we can make a difference we should, when you have different Justice Department‘s saying that the healthcare laws unconstitutional and now will be decided by the Supreme Court may we all hold our breath as Michele Bachmann said if this continues to go through America’s done as we know it. How many radical judges have you heard giving suspended sentences for atrocious crimes, the system is broke and it needs a fixing.

      it’s Romney …… not romny… and I do agree with you that he was weak towards the irrelevant questions from stephanopolous but it was their arena and they agreed to step into it. You can’t disrespect the hosts after knowing and agreeing to answer their
      questions. I think Romney was gracious and handled it well. Newt w
      as more aggressive and will pay for it later. Newt seemed more displeased with the q
      questions but should have spent his time attacking Romney and not the hosts.

      go go let me see if I have this right Mitt Romney gets an endorsement from the elder Bush, John McCain, Nikki Haley and the Sen. from New Hampshire her last name starts with an A now these last two were put in office through the tea party movement. As far as the Gov. Haley and the senator from New Hampshire go how their constituents feel about them that I cannot answer, but as far as John McCain and the elder Bush most people know where they stand on them. For me there will be three people who I’ve will be looking forward to seeing who they will back, the first Jim Dement, Sarah Palin and Herman Cain. I suspect Jim Dement at the time back Mitt Romney because he knew what John McCain is or has been, as I receive his newsletters voting for strong conservatives I believe he was like the rest holding his nose and backing Mitt Romney against the progressive John McCain.

      Newt has always said he wants to run a positive Campaign.
      If your opponent goes negative you must respond or be eaten alive.
      I Hope they all go back to Positive Please give me someone to vote for.

      As far as Las Vegas goes you have three heavyweights in the town, Sheldon Adelson, Steve Wynn and the man that runs the MGM resorts can’t think of his name offhand. Sheldon Adelson is a free market entrepreneur and backs Republicans, Steve Wynn is a free market entrepreneur and sides with the Democrats until this last election and what the president has done to the country, the third who runs the MGM strongly backed Harry Reid and most of the Democrats in Las Vegas. The CEO of the MGM along with Harrahs bused their employees to the polling booths, therefore Las Vegas ended up with Harry Reid instead of Sharon angle.
