SUPER PAC ADS GO UNCHECKED

It's a Race War!

By Victor M Adamus

Casino shark Sheldon Adelson says he wants to break the unions by breaking the Democratic Party.  His only plan is to open the flood gates of his enormous financial empire and drop $100 million on the Romney campaign but the underlying theme with all this money floating around, estimated to reach $1 Billion by the end of summer, is that no Federal Agency has control of Super PAC advertising.  They can alter facts, lie about candidates, and in some 501 (c) PACs not disclose who the donors are.  There is no “fact check” on what these advertisers put together to mislead unthinking American voters. 

Adelson is the son of Jewish immigrants and was born in liberal Boston in 1933.  He was a Democrat until he acquired great wealth and switched to the Republican Party for reasons that involved paying lower taxes.  Yet a hundred million dollars could make a dent on the national debt.  It could feed a ton of poor kids, help find a cure for cancer, issues that America can’t afford in this slow recovery from the worst depression caused by the Bush Republican Administration.  It’s foolish to think a businessman, like Adelson, would pour that much money into TV ads when the country could use the money elsewhere, to create jobs, for example.  No.  This smacks of billionaires supporting a race war.  A  contest between a black and white man and the black guy has more than his foot in the door.

The Supreme Court ruling of Citizens United may have created the Super PACs but they probably did not foresee that these rich guys will spend unlimited funds to support or help purchase the Oval Office. They didn’t consider that there is no check, no regulations, on the blatant lies created by these PACs against an opponent.   

But there is more than meets the eye for this much money to go out based on getting jobs for the jobless or stabilizing the economy.  Do you realize how many jobs you could create with $100 million dollars?  How about $1 Billion?  Super Pacs are making liars out of the rich and the rich frankly don’t care.

If the racist side of the Republican Party want the black guy removed from office and install a white guy with a pen, then the motivation is purely racial animosity and worth it to whites to spend Billions to get the job done.  Otherwise the focus for these Billionaires would be to put America back to work.  They have chosen to support the campaign against black Barack Obama.

Everyone knows that three Republican Administrations have averted a recession by having the Congress fund public sector jobs.  Not the obstructionists in this Congress.  Of course they know fixing the dire infrastructure of our roads and bridges is at a crisis level but it’s success would also make the president look good.  So they forsake their constituents to stay on the side of the white race war to remove the black man from power at any cost.  Every Republican sector, monied lobbies, the majority in Congress, Fox News, and wealthy Super PACs all want the same thing whether their candidate is qualified for the office or not . . . get rid of the black guy.



Sheldon Adelson

As for Adelson, he made a whopping $21 Billion in pure profits since Obama has been in office.  A sum that normally would ingratiate a person to someone who helped make him wealthier than he was.  Even Wall Street has done exceptionally better than the 8 years of George Bush.  I imagine it's a kick in the teeth for Obama to see all his loot go to a competitor.  Shark that he is, few people who know him are surprised.

I was just wondering if the Super PACs will go so far as to pitch the white race in key swing states closer to the elections in November.  Polls have shown that a majority of white males nationwide have a hidden “animus” toward people of color.  Will this finally be the real issue that dominates the 2012 race for the White House?
