ABC News names Sheldon Adelson biggest loser of 2012 election

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

Casino mogul Sheldon Adelson gambled more than $54 million on Tuesday's elections. And he lost.

The quixotic chairman of the Las Vegas Sands gaming company rose to the top of campaign giving in 2012, gaining notoriety for almost single-handedly staking the campaign of Republican primary contender Newt Gingrich and then continuing to make audacious contributions once Gingrich dropped out – with millions more going to GOP nominee Mitt Romney and two superPACs supporting his bid.

Tuesday, he emerged as arguably the single biggest loser of the campaign, financially speaking. In addition to investing in Gingrich and Romney, Adelson and his relatives donated to the U.S. House campaigns of Rep. Allan West of Florida and New Jersey Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, and the Senate runs of Virginia's George Allen, Florida's Connie Mack, and Texas's David Dewhurst. All lost. (Dewhurst never made it past the primary.) His sole consolation was helping fund the defeat of hometown nemesis Shelley Berkley, who lost her bid for a U.S. Senate seat.

1. Good, the fascist fuck

Tell ya what, Adelson. You want to fight Iran so bad? We'll boat you over and launch you by catapult.

2. So many losers to sort out. I would have gone with Rove--Adelson still has billions to spend.

Rove is sh!t out of luck.

3. This is where the Department of Justice has to start.

Complete the current investigation, with RICO indictments to his entire empire all the way down to his assistant minion charge of scrubbing the toilet.

Eric Holder, if he wants to save his reputation right now, needs to REALLY go after him and hand it over to the new AG for the 2nd term, to complete Adelson's rapid descent to the poorhouse and prison until dead of natural causes.

Adelson, Koch Brothers got too greedy, and they are going to continue to pay dearly for it.

6. Oh, cool - an "open coffin" picture.

Someone should be sure the babes get out before the lid is closed.

7. I hate that asshole

He and his Zionist friends are making themselves rich by stopping people like me from playing poker online.

8. I like the fact that MONEY didn't decide the election-- maybe those days are over

When I'd hear about the BILLIONS of dollars rich repukes poured into the campaign, I was worried. But, really-- it didn't work, did it?? We've shown the repukes we can't be bought or swayed by their BS. At least, the Dems have shown them. And even voter suppression didn't work.
