3. Wow, wave of the future?
I don't want to censor these bastards. I want them to go out of business for lack of interest.

5. The Las Vegas Sands has lost almost 100% of its value the past year
and http://www.marketwatch.com/tools/quotes/intchart.asp?symb=LVS">continues to close below $5 share. Seems Mr. Adelson has bigger fish to save. :rofl:

6. The market has spoken
We'd love to help you out, but that would be socialism, and therefore evil. Yuk yuk.

9. Gee, that was highly unexpected
I thought Americans would WELCOME a highly partisan pro-war GOP operation.

Guess I was wrong.

Adelson's Freedom's Watch closing

LAS VEGAS, Nov. 24 (UPI) -- The conservative activist group Freedom's Watch may be on the verge of shutting its doors, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported Monday.

Citing insiders, the newspaper said the group's major backer, Las Vegas mogul Sheldon Adelson, was battling to hold his Las Vegas Sands (NYSE:LVS) empire together amid the U.S. credit crunch and the softening Vegas tourism economy.

Freedom's Watch has been an aggressive spender on partisan broadcast ads this year in various Senate and congressional races around the United States.

Sources told the newspaper the organization's staff had been paid through the end of the year but Freedom's Watch would probably shut down after that.

A Freedom's Watch spokeswoman downplayed the pending staff departures, telling the Review-Journal the positions had been added for the election campaign and were being phased out.

Mods, the article was this short anyway.

20. Yup, no need for their services anymore
Edited on Tue Nov-25-08 11:51 PM by Jennicut
Not that their services should have ever been needed to begin with.
