US election 2012: Mitt Romney wins in Nevada

February 5th, 2012

FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda

In a 22-minute session in which his mood varied between defiant and angry, Mr
Gingrich downplayed Mr Romney’s success as a result of the influence of his
fellow Mormons in the state.

And he repeatedly hammered Mr Romney as “a pro-abortion, pro-gun control,
pro-taxes” candidate – even though aides had said earlier that he intended
to return to a positive campaign message.

Almost unavoidably for America’s self-proclaimed Sin City, Mr Romney held his
caucus night party in a casino and Mormon supporters made their way to the
rally past thousands of people gambling and drinking – activities proscribed
by their faith.

He was welcomed onto stage by his wife Ann, an increasingly important campaign
figure, and two of their five sons and several grandchildren. The message
Believe in America was emblazoned behind them

“America needs a president who can fix the economy because he understands the
economy,” he said. “I do, and I will.

“We’re not going to settle for a president who tells us, it could be worse. My
priority will be worrying about your job, not saving my own.”

Mr Romney’s aides were buoyed by entrance polls conducted by television
networks that showed that he won majority support from most voting blocs.
The foundation for his victory in the first contest in the West was
nonetheless his fellow Mormons – they made up 26 per cent of caucus-goers,
of whom 91 per cent voted for him.

Final results were still unavailable several hours after caucuses closed. Keen
to avoid a repeat of the debacle in Iowa caucus, when Mr Romney was
initially declared the victor by eight votes, only for Mr Santorum later to
be declared the winner by 34 votes, Nevada Republican officials were
hand-counting and checking each ballot.

Attention was focused on the margin of success for Mr Romney, who won the
state with 51 per cent of support in 2008. And Mr Gingrich was hoping to
hold off Ron Paul, the libertarian Texas congressman, for second place.

Mr Romney is now hoping to notch up a series of victories in states that look
like favourable terrain for him before the 11 contests on Super Tuesday in
early March. Several of those Super Tuesday votes will take place in
southern Bible Belt states where Mr Gingrich is hoping to kick-start his
campaign with the backing of evangelical Christians, many of whom view
Mormonism as a cult.

Romney aides said that he would continue to focus his fire on Mr Obama – a
strategy intended to portray his Republican rivals as increasingly
irrelevant, clinging on with no real chance of success.

It also emerged that Mr Romney’s campaign has been wooing the billionaire Las
Vegas casino magnate who has been almost single-handedly keeping Mr
Gingrich’s campaign alive.

Romney associates are urging Mr Adelson to end his financial support for Mr
Gingrich, arguing that his friend’s White House ambitions are over and that
his money is being used to fund attacks that are damaging prospects of
Republican success in November

Sheldon Aldelson has said that he will use his deep-pockets to bankroll the
Romney campaign to Mr Obama in November if he does indeed secure the
Republican nomination, according to The New York Times reported.
