Soros has Many Friends on Capitol Hill (Barney Frank) and in the New Administration (Rahm Emanuel)

We already knew that Congressman Barney Frank (D-Massachusetts) and other lawmakers such as Representative Rahm Emanuel (D-Illinois) have been close to liberal philanthropist George Soros for years, but a Sept. 7, 2004 letter on Frank’s website shows just how close.

Here is one passage from the incredibly solicitous letter (available as a PDF file here) signed by Frank and 10 other lawmakers:

We have been particularly troubled by the McCarthyite attacks that have been made on you by some American politicians, including colleagues of ours, who have gone far beyond the reasonable bounds of civil discourse in their efforts to discredit you.

Soros is, of course, the same practitioner of civil discourse who compared the Bush administration to the Nazis. Soros also implied that President George W. Bush is responsible for killing "thousands of innocent civilians." Soros also funded the sham study that vastly overstated casualties in Iraq.

The letter is signed by Representatives Frank, Rosa DeLauro (D-Connecticut), James McGovern (D-Massachusetts), Howard Berman (D-California), Rahm Emanuel (D-Illinois), John F. Tierney (D-Massachusetts), Edward Markey (D-Massachusetts), Diana DeGette (D-Colorado), George Miller (D-California), William Delahunt (D-Massachusetts), and Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio).

Rahm has since been designated by President-elect Barack Obama to be his White House Chief of Staff, and Brown is now a U.S. senator representing Ohio.

Clearly Soros's political investments have finally paid off.

“SOROS now OWNS Capitol Hill”

He has owned Capitol Hill for almost 3 years. It is the purchase of the White House that completed his Master Plan.

[hope]

That's o.k. He's not infallible, most likely to his surprise...I salivate over the thought of excurciating pain that awaits him.

[little jeremiah]

Gets more and more nightmarish.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Oh, My! What a surprise! (Not.)

[tbpiper]

Soros needs to have an ‘accident’.

Perestroika

is already in high gear...

Mr Obama will meet Mr Bush on Monday and is likely to seek the outgoing president’s reassurance that he would not veto any stimulus package that could be passed as soon as next week when Congress meets for a “lame duck” session.

The international pimp was chased out of Russia by Putin and is now back here with a vengeance.

I don't know how many years he has owned Capitol Hill, but he for sure tried to purchase the WH for John Effing Kerry, and appears he has now finally suceeded in purchasing it 0bama. Soros must be THE ONE's puppet master, casue he sure doesn't think very clearly when he is left alone to mumble out "ah, uh,ah "
