Newt Gingrich: I Have A ‘Very Open Relationship’ With Billionaire Who Funds Super PAC

video
» 19 comments

Last week, Las Vegas casino tycoon Sheldon Adelson pledged another 10 million dollars to Newt Gingrich‘s presidential campaign. The candidates are now becoming more defined by who is giving them money and how much they are associating with said individuals. On Fox News Sunday today, Gingrich appeared to explain the personal relationship he has with Adelson and why the billionaire mogul is giving so much money to the pro-Gingrich Super PAC.

Chris Wallace pointed out that combined with the money he has already given to the Super PAC, Adelson will have contributed over 20 million dollars in support of Gingrich’s candidacy. Wallace asked if he was helping Gingrich stay “afloat,” Gingrich responded by saying he’s done a lot to push back against the billionaires backing Mitt Romney. But why exactly is Adelson giving so much money to this particular candidate?

“Sheldon Adelson is desperately worried about an Iranian nuclear weapon, and he is desperately worried about the survival of Israel. So I am the strongest candidate on foreign policy, the strongest candidate on national security, it’s a very open relationship.”

    And speaking of Gingrich, guess what happens when you work to stop marriage equality and your campaign bus breaks down in West Hollywood:

    still though, for the hundreds of millions of dollars that will be used to make weapons, for the thousands that will die, 21 million is pretty good deal when you want a war.

    How is any of this legal?

    Only Pablo’s would be 95 percent anonymous and all of them would magically appear in the next 10 minutes. Same with Gloves.

    Sheldon Adelson is an American Likudist who realizes Newt is a Chickenhawk and a Neocon who will send our troops to war at the behest of Bibi regardless of the financial or human cost.

    Chickenhawk Newt With A Cowardly Soul

    A draft-dodging ChickenHawk named Newt
    Went to great lengths not to be a recruit
    When his last deferment was filed,
    With his teacher, he sired a child
    And gave the military a middle-fingered salute.

    As soon as Viet Nam  was done
    Newt’s political career had begun
    The way he carried on
    You’d think he was Gengis Khan
    ‘Cause he voted for any war to fund.

    That’s how it is with political trolls
    In a fight, they’re hiding in holes
    Newt, Cheney, and Limbaugh
    Can’t get enough shock ‘n awe
    But they $h!+ themselves with cowardly souls!
