So Sheldon Adelson may give Newt another $10 million. Is Sheldon trying to buy good government? Or the right for Israel to Nuke Iran?
In normal times, any one individual giving this much money to a single candidate would be cause for alarm. But since the current Republican Party stands for nothing but the rights of big business to control government and for the rights of the wealthy elite to dictate society’s rules in their own favor, this isn’t much to get worked up about.
The immediate implication for Adelson’s donation: More bad news for Mitt Romney. Romney can now expect an absolute thorough pounding from both Gingrich and Santorum in the coming primaries. There can only be 2 outcomes for Romney after all of this: 1. Romney is destroyed in the primaries and Gingrich or Santorum becomes the GOP nominee. Or 2. Romney still wins the nomination, but his negatives increase to such an astronomical level that he will run the worst general election campaign since the 1964 Goldwater debacle.
