well well......someone capable and willing to compete with and oppose Soros!?
I guess after 6 or 8 years of Destruction Derby Transforation of Amerika by Soros’ little pet illegal alien,
there’s finally some big money coming out to repair some of the damage....

It didn’t take much time in the article to put the negative sentence in.

Somehow I wonder if they will report on the long list of billionaires on the Democrats side?

What would be note worthy is if Ted Cruz could put together a Mega Super PAC of 4 Billionaires donating to Ted Cruz campaign.
By the way, just saw the Iran Nuclear deal Rand Paul commercial...
Don’t see it as a smear on Rand Paul when it’s the truth and using Rand Paul’s own words..
More like a Swiftboat Vets commercial..

please don’t overlook all the IslamoNazi money that was poured into manufacturing and installing Obama in our WHouse
including the Saudi $$ and the Soros $$ and .... more...

“...a reclusive loner who started IBM...”
IBM was founded in 1911. Long before Mercer was born. Mercer worked for them for a while developing voice recognition programs.

If Mercer is on Board, there are likely other biggies on board too. Look for names like Paul Singer, Peter Thiel, and old Red McCombs to start showing up as financial supporters.

Soros = Traitor, yes.
Born in a Jewish family, yes.
But he’s a self-proclaimed Athiest and not a believing Jew.
He also helped round up Jews for the Nazis to murder (in his youth in Europe) and later said he had no regrets about it, that it was just what people did then or something like that.
Not a Jew.
Nancy Pelosi is a bit more of a Christian than
SOros is a Jew.
Pelosi, for all her abortion and anti-American politics...supporting Obama, indeed lying about his qualification for office to get him made President...
Nancy at least attends church once in awhile and says she still thinks herself to be a Catholic ... (not in MY book, but her bishop has not seen fit to do much about it)
Soros funds all sorts of anti-Jewish and anti-Christian “causes”.... just like he funds all sorts of anti=American causes. Combine them all and yes, he funded Obama.... the perfect front man to have out there attacking all three.
So, calling Soros a Jew would be very inaccurate, methinks.
Christian teaching includes as a core principle the idea of Free Will. You get to choose what you believe or subscribe to, like to be a Christian or not.
Soros has never practiced or identified as Jewish and he chooses to be an Athiest.
Thanks,

Soros is no more a Jew than BHO is a Christian. He is a socialist, a progressive. That is the salient aspect of this guy: not that he is white, Hungarian or born in a Jewish family. People sometimes let their Jew-hatred get the better of their reason.
