Romney: Fire Big Bird and gives his money to billionaire Sheldon Adelson

Mitt Romney can't afford to keep big bird on the air because they'd have to borrow money from China to do so but he has no problem taking Chinese money himself through Sheldon Adelson. Adelson giving might just have not be just who he likes in fact he stands to get something out of it like a two billion dollar tax cut from Romney. Buying an election in this sense is a very smart business decision. The link is here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/11/sheldon-adelson-2-billion-tax-cut-mitt-romney_n_1873683.html

So where America doesn't have the peanuts in the budget to keep big bird alive and actually educate their children. They have no problem handing over two billion to Adelson., In some ways you can say that Adelson might have played a huge role in the Republican primary by keeping Newt Gingrich's carcass on the ballot to split the vote of the true tea party wing of the Republican candidate. There is no truth to the fact that Gingrich now works as a gondolier in Adelson's Las Veges hotel the Venetian as Gingrich doesn't take handouts he just works as a handmaiden for the wealthy.

that goes with nary a word from those who want to cut off the safety net for the rest of us...yeah those big safety nets like Medicare and Social Security that hard working Americans have worked long and hard for. But for the elite, they get their entitlements by the billions...if this isn't a WTF moment, and a kick in the face, to the stark reality that we need campaign finance reform, I sure the hell don't know what is, or what it will take.

Wake up, you idiot working class republicans and tea party fools, you are being taken for a ride and the elite are spitting in your face.
Do you get it yet? Do you get it that self-interest of the elite has formed the oligarchy taking away the voice of "We, the people"?
Two fucking billions dollars is what Adelson saves with a rMoney victory...if this game isn't rigged, I don't know what is. For once in your life, look at reality.
