Romney Fails His Own ‘Moral Responsibility’ Test, Can’t Balance His Campaign’s Budget

America’s billionaire-run democracy

Barack Obama's paymasters are likely to include financier George Soros, and Warren "I always pay with ca$h" Buffett.

Newt Gingrich takes his orders from Las Vegas casino boss Sheldon Adelson and his wife Miriam, fiercely pro-Israel and anti-President Obama’s Mideast policy. Initially, they placed their bets on Gingrich, who says on his first day in office he’d move the American Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, a decision that would thrill the Adelsons, but infuriate Palestinians and the rest of the Muslim world. Together, the Adelsons have contributed ten million to Newt’s “Winning Our Future” Super PAC.

"Blue Collar" Rick Santorum at least has the balls to have his billionaire best bud Foster Friess stand on the podium with his during his recent campaign appearances. Freiss is a born-again Christian who made his fortune herding mutual funds instead of cattle. Freiss has been bankrolling the “Red White and Blue Fund” Super PAC for Santorum, with whom he shares a social right-wing agenda.
