A Letter From George Soros To Conservative Activists

There has been noise that she will lead a third party movement. I love Sarah Palin btw and I think she is way too smart to get involved in such foolish hopelessness. Not so sure about Lou Dobbs.

[Earthdweller]

They stalled everything in place...no reversals. And the commies used Reagan to give people a false sense that the Country had no threat from socialism/communism. They used him.... While Reagan was talking about the wall coming down, they pushed the ones who are destroying the Country and our Constitution in our back door...through the schools and the media and by infitrationing both parties and almost all of the major political agencies, like the AArp, the American Medical association, the Womens movement, the Black movement, the Gay movement. The list could go on.

The Republicans and the Democrats have a corrupt gun to thier heads or they are being bought off. It's time to put them out of their misery.

[ColoCdn]

I am less impressed with your resort to “Dr.” Ron Paul than with almost anything else you’ve said on this thread.

If the Republicans nominate Conservatives, my support will go to them. If the Democrats nominate Conservatives, and the Repubs nominate liberals, for whom would you vote?

[Welcome2thejungle]

Didn’t know George Soros wrote checks to GOP candidates. I looked up his political donations myself and couldn’t find a single Republican he donated to. What is your source here?

[Welcome2thejungle]

The last time the Democrats nominated a conservative for public office was Dr. Larry McDonald of Georgia.

He was murdered by the Soviets on board KAL 007 in 1983.

[Welcome2thejungle]

These two parties will be the two dominant parties long after we’re both gone. My question is this: If Left wing activists can take over the Democrat Party and put one of their own in the White House.

Why can’t conservative activists do likewise with the GOP?

[ColoCdn]

Now, THAT was clever.

I’m all for whatever promotes Conservatism in this country. I am tired of the creeping maternal fascism of the ruling elites. And I know you are too.

I truly hope the Republican party can reverse its recent trend towards liberalism and become conservative. It would be a pleasure to support them wholeheartedly like I did in my younger years.

Meet the open borders family: McCain, Hernandez, Soros, and the “Reform Institute”

By Michelle Malkin  •  January 25, 2008 03:50 PM

Follow the bouncing ball with me:

Shamnesty peddler John McCain taps former Mexican government official/shamnesty advocate Juan Hernandez as his presidential campaign Hispanic Outreach Director.

Hernandez is a fellow at McCain’s “Reform Institute.” What has he been working on there for the past year?

“Dr. Juan Hernandez serves as a Senior Fellow of the Institute’s Comprehensive Immigration Reform Initiative.”

That is: Shamnesty.

Among the immigration projects at McCain’s Reform Institute: An art contest in which students depicted their protests against a southern border fence.

The winner on the American side of the border?

Here:

The grand prize winner incorporated the specious open-borders propaganda comparing our fence to keep trespassers out to the Berlin Wall designed to wall people in:

Is this what McCain believes in his heart, too? No wonder he cursed the “goddamned fence.”

The Reform Institute is a tax-exempt, supposedly independent 501(c)(3) group, as Ed Morrissey noted two years ago, “that employs Rick Davis, who also works on McCain’s staff as his chief political advisor, and they pay him $110,000 per year. The Reform Institute has often supported McCain, paid for events highlighting him and his agenda, presumably including campaign finance reform.” The Reform Institute received $200,000 in donations from Cablevision…and McCain basically tried to intervene on Cablevision’s behalf by writing a letter to the FCC supporting its regulatory agenda. Morrissey noted at the time: “[T]he Reform Institute helps keep McCain’s staff gainfully employed between campaigns, allowing McCain to do less fundraising while retaining the best of the available talent. For instance, Carl Hulse and Ann Kornblut note that Rick Davis managed McCain’s presidential campaign in 2000 before founding Reform Institute. Now its president, he gets over $100,000 a year from RI for “consulting services”. That money allows Davis to remain available for McCain’s future campaigns, and the funding he raises for RI gives him inroads for building support.”

Yep. Which is exactly how it worked out. Davis is now McCain’s campaign manager.

Here’s the 990 form for the Reform Institute, filed in 2003, listing Davis and his “consulting fees:”

Who funded the Reform Institute, which boasts Juan “Think Mexico First” Hernandez as its resident amnesty fellow? The donor list is a who’s who of ultra left-wing, open borders elites. Again, via Ed Morrissey’s research:

* The Tides Foundation, which heavily promotes “reproductive justice”, giving over $500,000 to pro-abortion efforts. They also actively oppose the death penalty (so do I, FYI). John McCain opposes abortion and supports the death penalty, so why is his chief political advisor getting so much support from those who ostensibly oppose him?

* Educational Foundation Of America, which also supports abortion. EFA also opposes drilling in ANWR, an issue on which McCain has an ambivalent record. It also supports euthanasia and assisted suicide through the Death With Dignity National Center, a group which it gave $45,000. It gave $100,000 to the Alliance for Nuclear Accountability, which opposed the Yucca Mountain nuclear depository (McCain supported it), and opposes development of low-yield nuclear “bunker buster” bombs, which McCain supports.

In fact, EFA appears to contribute to just about every left-wing cause imaginable, as well as a number of noncontriversial charities and outreach efforts.

* The Proteus Fund, which also opposed the Yucca Mountain repository, spending $75K to stop it. That pales in comparison to the $935K they spent on supporting gay marriage initiatives, which McCain strongly opposes. They have also spent over $800,000 funding nuclear-disarmament and antiwar causes in each of the last two years. Their Security Policy Working Group contains nothing but left-of-center groups like Project on Defense Alternatives, which calls the Iraqi elections “faulty” and predicted disaster for the Bush administration’s “program of coercive transformation throughout the region.”

* OSI (Open Society Institute), founded and funded by George Soros. Among a litany of left-wing causes supported by OSI are People For The American Way, to support their Supreme Court Project. (Hint: It isn’t intended on assisting Bush get his nominees confirmed.) They also gave $150,000 to the Campaign Legal Center, which will be important shortly.

* David Geffen Foundation also shows up on the list, although not in the top tier. David Geffen is an entertainment-industry mogul who supports Democrats and left-wing causes. They do not have a website I could find, but Activistcash.com notes that in 2002, most of the grants Geffen gave went to environmental activists and the Tides Foundation and Tides Center.

Via Discover the Networks, you’ll see that Soros’s OSI is a key open borders funder–providing support to the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund; the Immigrant Legal Resource Center; the National Immigration Law Center; the National Immigration Forum; the National Council of La Raza; and the American Immigration Law Foundation.

Remind me again which party’s presidential nomination John McCain is running for?

***

Fellow shamnesty peddler Mel Martinez officially joins la familia McCain. Via the Orlando Sentinel:

U.S. Sen. Mel Martinez will endorse Republican presidential candidate John McCain later today, according to a person close to McCain’s campaign.

Martinez will announce the endorsement at a meeting of the Latin Builders Association in Miami, which McCain is scheduled to address at 4:45 p.m.

[EternalVigilance]

John McCain funded by Soros since 2001

[Earthdweller]

Exactly.

[Earthdweller]

"I truly hope the Republican party can reverse its recent trend towards liberalism and become conservative.

It will have to be forced on them. They won't give up their seats in the big government kingdom without a fight.

[Welcome2thejungle]

I agree. Recently finished reading Jonah Goldberg’s book Liberal Fascism. Great book!

[Welcome2thejungle]

I looked up George Soros’s political contributions on Newsmeat.com. Could not locate a single contribution to a Republican candidate for anything. Not even dog catcher. He DETESTS the GOP and generously funded BHO so that McCain would not get elected. True, McCain is liberal on a number of issues, but Soros is passionately opposed to Iraq, Afghanistan, and the War on Terror—therefore he hates McCain too.

[csivils]

All this talk about third parties completely misses the point. The issue isn’t about a third party, it’s about a third CANDIDATE.

I intend to vote for Palin next presidential election. The Republican party can determine what party will be next to her name. If the Republican party is foolish enough to run a third candidate, then the “take-over” failed and the party deserves what they get.

[EternalVigilance]

None are so blind as those who will not see.

[Welcome2thejungle]

Exactly. Allow me to take a quote published in Rush Limbaugh’s website 09/14/09”

“But a third party is not going to do anything other but ensure the re-election of Obama and every other Democrat running for office.”

Need anything further be added to that?

[Welcome2thejungle]

Third party advocates are the REAL trolls. The fifth column, the Trojan horse designed to help BHO win re-election. Don’t take it from me, though. Rush Limbaugh said it first!

[EternalVigilance]

Question for you:

If the Republican Party thinks third parties are so bad, why are they working so hard to become one?

[EternalVigilance]

Don’t take it from me, though. Rush Limbaugh said it first!

Some of us know how to think for ourselves sans talking points from Limbaugh.

[1010RD]

Absolutely correct. Zero fudge factor. A third party candidate espousing any conservative platform will re-elect BHO.

On the other hand, a pro-homosexual marriage, green candidate would do the trick for us. (no pun intended)
