Romney will cut the top tax rates saving CEO Alderson $1.5 million |
Sheldon
Adelson, a billionaire twenty four times over, is willing to spend up to 100
million dollars to defeat President Obama. Adelson has said he will do “whatever it takes”.
Adelson is
taking advantage of his ability to contribute an unlimited amount of money to
so-called "super PACs (Political Action Committees).
The
proliferation of Super PACS has campaign finance reformer John McCain spinning
in his grave.
Do you know what babysitters are getting per hour these days? |
I am of
course not referring to septuagenarian John McCain, 2008 presidential candidate
and foster parent to Sara Palin but rather Maverick John McCain senator of
Arizona who rode off into the sunset some time ago.
Maverick
John McCain championed legislation on campaign finance. The Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (BCRA) of
2002, also known as "McCain-Feingold" prohibited unregulated
contributions (commonly referred to as "soft money") to national
political parties. Earlier legislation
like the Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA) of 1972 attempted to restrict the
influence of wealthy individuals by limiting individual donations to $1,000 and
donations by PACs) to $5,000. These specific election donations are known as
‘hard money.’
Not that shitty Mel Gibson Maverick |
This all
changed when the Supreme Court ruled in Citizens United v. FEC. It drastically changed the landscape of
political contributions and has allowed uber-rich individuals to contribute
unprecedented amounts of money. Sheldon Adelson and the Koch brothers have
pledged to spend up to $400 million to advance their agenda and defeat
President Obama.
Sheldon
Adelson has spent more money than any other American to defeat President Obama.
But I have
an idea – I am offering to help Sheldon spend his money. Just like Ben Stein.
I mean you
just don’t go tossing 100 million dollars around. We tried that in Afghanistan and Iraq and
look how that turned out?
Won't fit on a milk carton |
Presidential
elections results swing on as little as 537 senior citizen hanging chads. Those 25 electoral votes gave W a narrow 5 vote
Electoral College victory. Other
elections were not as closely contested as in 2008 when Obama won North
Carolina’s 15 electoral votes by 13,692 votes.
Or W over Kerry in New Mexico where there are no PT boats by 5,988.
You think I
would have any problem taking Sheldon’s $100 million and dividing it between 538
independents who would be willing to move to Florida and vote for Romney? Each relocated voter would get $186,219.74.
Well actually they would only get $186,000. I need to wet my beak if you catch my drift.
I will
recruit independents who agree to vote for Alderson's Romney and move them to any state that would make a difference to
the election.
You could have had a Chuck instead of a Woody |
Just look at
the 1916 presidential election. By a
margin of 56 votes in New Hampshire and 3773 in California Woodrow Wilson (D)
beat Charles Hughes to become our 28th president. Sheldon cost per vote in 1916 was $26,116. I think I can find 3773 people who
will take 26 thousand dollars to move to California.
It might cost a little more to get them to move to New Hampshire. Hey I’m
just saying. I am being frank here. I live in Buffalo. I know how the game works. Sheldon
would only have required $ 4,732,000 in 1916 dollars to pull it off. Awesome!
During the
1960 Kennedy – Nixon election I would only have needed 28,524 voters to change
the outcome. Sheldon’s cost per vote
requiring a little more haranguing but for $3505 per vote we could have gotten
Tricky Dick a full 12 years earlier.
Now Sheldon
you can stop reading here. You need to
recover the $16.5 million you gave Newt Gingrich during the Republican
primary.
Now that
Sheldon is out of the room I am going to let you in on a little secret. Me and my new 538 friends will move, but we’ll
vote for who we want to. We will just
have one hell of a party. I am just pointing out the obvious since the Supreme Court ruling. We have opened ourselves up to the possibility of an individual or small group of individuals with an "endless" supply of money influencing our electoral process.
Now I only
want to give Sheldon the election Sarah Silverman wants to give him an erection.
Thanks Sarah - you rock |
Sarah has
made an indecent proposal to Adelson: give the same amount to Obama instead and
she will engage in "traditional lesbian sex" with the 78-year old.
Do you how
many Republican billionaires are giving money to Romney? Silverman asked in the
following video. All of them. How many of them are getting scissored by a
bikini-bottomed Jewess with big naturals? How many, Sheldon?
