"I'm not picking one candidate, but I am keen on Dean," Soros said when asked about the Democratic frontrunner's chances. "I think he can [win]. I think he probably has a more difficult time against his Democratic opponents ... than he will against President Bush. He has a very cogent and very fresh voice."

Which just goes to show you, Money doesn't = intelligence.

[Cultural Jihad]

Talk about throwing good money after bad ...

[palmer]

Soros later added, "I'm not a politician. I can admit that it has really frustrated me and angered me."

Good, anger him some more so he makes more mistakes.

[SandRat]

So Sore-os is keen on Muja-ha-ha-Dean. I have a message for Sore-os

"Soros later added, "I'm not a politician. I can admit that it has really frustrated me and angered me."

Aww, ain't that too damn bad. You thrust yourself uninvited into the spotlight but don't want to have anything said about you? Idiot.
Why is more not being said about his obvious attempt to buy influence and corrupt the political landscape with his money? If it were Haliburton the press would be having an apopolectic fit.

This shows what money can do in the hands of a self centured SOB. The bad thing about it is that it works.
50% of the electorate believe anything and everything the news media and TV puts out there. Then those running for office are quite willing and ready to sell to the highest bidder leaving the general public really out in the cold.
Americans get a steady brainwashing and are very receptive to it.
Truth will stand the test of time and America will fall like all great empires. I am thankful it probably wont happen in my lifetime but those after me will have hell to pay.We have sat on our behinds and are headed in the direction of all of the past great empires.

I saw the same quote and all I can think of beyond that is that the democratic party is up for sale to the big liberal money thanks to Campaign Reform. Did McCain really do this to the democrats deliberately or was he really trying to do the "right" thing?

"The fact that George Soros is able to give the enormous sums that he is able to give makes the future Democratic nominee very beholden to him," Iverson said. "He is the most powerful man in the Democratic Party today by virtue of the fact that he is able to make large donations to whichever candidate or candidates support his views."

<sarcasm>Good to see CFR working out so well...</sarcasm>

[Northern Yankee]

So...it's ok for Soros to viciously attack President Bush, but when he gets attacked he really is hurt and troubled?

I'm sorry... Just what part of this picture don't you get Mr. Soros?

Bullseye!! I'm sick and tired of this idiot's attempt at king making. I asked before, is he an American citizen? If he is, can his citizenship be revoked? He is a perfect example of abuse of free speech. If he's going to shoot off his mouth, then he has to accept the consequences. If the LIEberal press won't put his feet to the fire - then it's up to free internet press like FreeRepublic.

Rejecting Bush would illustrate to the world that the United States had undergone a "temporary aberration" during his term in office.

In a nutshell, this is why I will still vote for Bush next November.

I'm not going to allow one of the handful of things he's done absolutely right to be seen as an "aberration", and I refuse to put a smile on the face of George Soros and "the world".

It may not be much of a reason, but it's my reason, and I'm hangin' onto it for now.

[hellinahandcart]

Good to see CFR working out so well...

Oh please, it was never meant to affect the ruling class. We do officially have one of those now, you know; courtesy of that very law.

[Marak]

This is great news!

It shows that Soros has a fragile ego and can be manipulated by how he is viewed from the outside. If he is continually put down now, he will spend massive funds on his pet groups, which are accomplishing nothing. By the time the election draws near, he will grow disillusioned by the enormous amounts of money that he has wasted.

Can we say 'burn out'? ;)

Do you think that this was a surprise? Soros was a huge supporter of CFR. He rather apparently wanted to eliminate the competition for influence. They talked about getting the 'big' money out of politics, but it was really the middle money (corporations rarely gave anything even approaching Soros levels) that was eliminated. The unions can spend their political money on organizing efforts, but corporations can't/won't. But in the end, money matters, and Soros made his matter a whole lot more by limiting access to other peoples' money. He knew that people like him would always be able to find a way to buy influence, both with the politicians, and by influencing elections.

[Leisler]

Gee, if Zoros is correct, and the U.S. goes down the tube, where's he going to scurry to next?
