<<No one, not even "a group of 26 billionaires" is going to spend a billion dollars on independent expenditures for a political campaign. Partially because no one wants to spend that much money, and partially because it would be well past the point of diminishing returns (partially even negative returns, considering the annoyance factor that so many political ads pushing the same message would produce). Adelson said he would spend 100 million. He would spend a billion in a heart beat if Israel asked him to and they might! And remember foreign governments can spend and we wouldn't know it. Why wouldn't Israel spend a billion to get the US support? And 90% of all elections are won by who has the most money. Adelson changed that one race with Newt all by himself. Adelson is doing it for Israel. He said so and he said he wishes his kids had joined the Israeli army and not the US army. He wants Romney because he thinks he will protect Israel better. He could care less about the US. Free speech? That is not the issue here. How about foreign control of our government? Or control by billionairs and large corporations. That is the larger worry in my mind.
