McCutcheon decision day 4: Adelson demands GOP place convention in Las Vegas.

[pa28]

The Supreme court's no quid pro-quo reasoning behind decision is in tatters already. What's next?

“Sheldon is adamant that the GOP must go to Vegas,” said one source. Some GOPers fear that if Adelson doesn’t get his way, he’ll give a couple hundred million dollars to the Democrats just for spite.
The other five cities in contention are Cincinnati, Cleveland, Dallas, Denver and Kansas City.
Evangelical Christians oppose “Sin City” for the GOP party, saying it sends the wrong message, but Adelson “doesn’t want to hear it,” said my source.

1. GOP eating the corn out of

Adelson's crap. Fundie heads explode.

[Frustratedlady]

2. Lovin' it! Trickle down theory...

You can't just take his money and run, he wants something in return.

Who gets top billing? The Kochs or Adelson?

[louis-t]

4. I would love to see them each spend half a billion

on this election and get nothing for it.

[Frustratedlady]

5. Well, at least it would stimulate the economy...

unfortunately, it would be going to the complicit media, but some might trickle down to us peons.

20. quid pro quo

"something for something"

25. One side is going to get a little taste of not having enough money to be heard.

They will not have as much "speech" as the other and will see the rich person get what they want. The rest of the 1% gets to watch these clowns make them look worse. Hopefully, they will abuse this so much enough people will get fed up with our Government being a wholly owned subsidiary of big business to do something about it.

6. Seems like the Onion

really good satire, writing itself...

[progressoid]

7. Heh....

[Lifelong Protester]

26. Yes, exactly.

I don't have a copy of that drawing, but that is what I was thinking.

[tblue37]

32. That is the very definition of Poe's Law! nt

[DhhD]

8. Christian Right Is Not Needed Anymore, Bad Boy Is Already Taking Over

telling Christians the new mantra; to let what happens in Vegas go home from Vegas! Its O K now that he is the Defacto President.

[DhhD]

9. The Christian Right is getting just what it prayed for. Include Turd Nugent's show too.

[Half-Century Man]

10. Hummmmm, just 4 day to get to a rich prick demanding actions from politicians for donations.

Question, what took so long?

11. 80 yr. old egomaniac worth $40 Billion calling the shots in GOP

Evangelical Christians oppose “Sin City” for the GOP party, saying it sends the wrong message, but Adelson “doesn’t want to hear it,” said my source.

Adelson, 80, hosted the four-day Republican Jewish Coalition conference in Vegas a week ago, drawing potential presidential candidates Jeb Bush and governors Chris Christie of New Jersey, John Kasich of Ohio and Scott Walker of Wisconsin.

Politico reported that Adelson quipped that he couldn’t oblige a request from the RJC for a $50 million contribution because the group’s executive director, Matt Brooks, didn’t have change for $1 billion.

22. Chief Justice Roberts is shocked!, I say, SHOCKED!

[They_Live]

12. Why not just move Washington DC to Las Vegas?

It's all over now. The gloves are off. Show your true selves, villains.

[Mr.Bill]

13. Excellent opportunity

for the Las Vegas PD to run prostitution sting operations. They should immediately start hiring more female officers and training them. They should also consider expanding the jail.

[itsrobert]

14. I think Vegas is an excellent choice

Plenty of hotel space and it would be good for the local economy.

[madinmaryland]

15. As a resident of the state of Ohio, I don't want to see the Repukes bring their debauchery to my

state. Las Vegas sounds perfect for the Repukes.

[SomethingFishy]

16. Well you know they aren't coming to Denver...

With all the Crazed Cannabis Zombies running around the streets, raising the crime rates, increasing DUI's, destroying productivity, and causing record numbers of Indica overdoses, Republicans would have to cower in fear in their hotel rooms. Lest they walk the streets and are accosted by a Crazed Cannabis Zombie armed with Bong and a Twinkie.

[mountain grammy]

19. Oh I hope not. I think the legalized pot will keep them away. Good!!

[underpants]

17. Vegas - the PERFECT place to launder money

[DinahMoeHum]

18. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Vegas/Nevada heavily pro-union?

with regard to the hotel/casino employees?

If so, LOTS of potential for bugging/catching GOoPers in various indiscretions.

[mountain grammy]

21. Oh for sure, every waiter will be walking around with a recorder in his pocket..

They will probably have to go though security for that, but where there's a will, there's a way.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

28. Yep

[mountain grammy]

23. My evangelical, 'Obama is a Muslim,' brother in law loves Vegas! Can't get enough Jesus or poker.

[beac]

24. Counting his blessings while counting his cards, eh?? n/t

[pstokely]

31. It's not gambling if it's for Jesus

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

27. Please do

The potential for scandal would be there. I can imagine some GOP muckity muck getting caught with a hooker or gambling away all he owns at the high roller's table.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

29. The GOP should be used to telling it's base to screw themselves....

They threw away their entire Country Music, Texas Swaggerin, hard workin' rural vote to run a city slicker Wall Street type in the last election.

It was like watching the Ziffel family meeting the Douglas family.

30. Money has spoken. The new game dictates that evangelicals will have to put up or shut up.
