I quite agree, this Soros has become quite frightening. He shows an increasing tendency to demigogory. In combination with the fascistic tendencies of those he funds their success could be devastating.

Here's a thought - Soros wants to overthrow George Bush and his administration. Could that include Jeb Bush? Think about it - I understand he is pro death and is working in the background of the Terri Schiavo case. With all his money, he can grease a lot of palms, judges included.

Wish there was someway to investigate him along with Terri's husband.

And of course Soros can still run political ads during the 30/60 day windows before the elections. Associations of the "little people", like the NRA, SAF/CCRKBA, GOA, etc. cannot.

Possibly not! The incoming director of the FEC -- who was an outspoken opponent of the CFR law -- may apply the Lincolnsonian principle that the best way to effect the repeal of an odious law is to rigorously enforce it. He's announced the possibility, with formal determination to follow early next year, that 527 organizations (like those Soros has established or funded) may have to be regulated under the new law much like PACs.

Boston Globe ^ | 12/19/03
Democrats' new campaign funding groups may face regulation By Sharon Theimer, Associated Press, 12/19/2003 WASHINGTON -- Democrats who have been forming groups to avoid spending restrictions in the campaign finance law may face bad news: The government's new chief election regulator is warning that their activities could be reined in. Bradley Smith, the Republican chosen yesterday as chairman of the Federal Election Commission, said he believes a recent Supreme Court ruling may require his agency to limit the groups' activities."If so, it's a huge issue. And it means there are a lot of groups already out there that would have...

Man, when the LIBERAL Newsweek calls Soros a 'crackpot', wow ! He IS nuts, too ! ...

The man-bites-dog nature of the anticapitalist article from the capitalist mogul brought it attention, but it was so appallingly stupid that it provoked the ire of even the typically mild-mannered, centrist journalist Robert Samuelson of Newsweek. He called Soros "a crackpot" and his essay "gibberish" akin to the "Unabomber's manifesto in its sweeping, unsupported, and disconnected generalizations."

And he attacks Capitalism, after he USED the system to make $$ BILLIONS ??? ...

Soros has always fancied himself an intellectual as well as a moneymaker, and he wants desperately to be taken seriously. His first attempt came in 1997 with a weird, discursive article in the Atlantic Monthly called "The Capitalist Threat." He argued that "the spread of market values into all areas of life" is now the main threat to "open and democratic society."

And then he uses a loophole to get around CFR - WHICH HE SUPPORTED !! - and uses his great wealth to try to take down a President that supports policies that coincide with a system that Soros USED TO MAKE HIS GREAT WEALTH ?? What's wrong with this picture ?? ...

There is irony in Soros's simultaneous embrace of Popper and of the American Left. And hypocrisy in his attitude toward campaign finance regulation: In his foundation's annual report, Soros lauds the McCain-Feingold law limiting donations as an antidote to "a fundamental crisis in democratic self-government." Yet he pours millions into a loophole that lets nonparty groups accept funds without limit.

Sorry for the long rant, but this George Soros is driving me nuts. What a hypocritical dirtbag !!!

From now on, I'm referring to him as George SorryA** because that's what he is !!

Let Me Tell You A Lie.org

Excerpt:

The truth be told, do you know what group has accepted politically motivated contributions from the biggest political contributor of them all? Do you know what group gets to accept soft money while it tries to influence our political system? MoveOn.org, that’s who. With George Soros contributing at least $2.5 million to MoveOn.org they have accepted over 1000 times what the cap is for a donation in a single contribution. Political propaganda groups like MoveOn.org and Americans Coming Together have accepted a total of at least $15.5 million from Soros making him the biggest political contributor of them all, corporations included. So, it should go without saying that the Democratic Party is the beneficiary of the biggest of the big contributors. But listening to MoveOn.org you would have no idea that this fact is the unarguable truth.

Very nicely done, for you Liz and your fellow Soros slayer Dragoo.

One has to wonder what the tax bite was on the 1 billion dollar windfall Mr. Soros made on his currency speculation against the British pound sterling? If the profit all fell within one tax year it must have been an astounding sum.

The subject of this thread is the danger George Soros posts to the election process. All I have to say is this: does it occur to you that all the things that Soros supports...open borders, death, abortion, subjugation to the UN, etc. are meant to destabilize and destroy American society?
Regardless of your opinion, his support of drug legalization is meant for the same purpose. If prohibition caused more trouble than legalization, he would support prohibition.
I must leave for the evening, but I suggest you think about that.

I've been thinking about, and posting about restoring our free republic for five years now, Miss M..

Many here seem to have forgotten that main mission of FR..
-- In their eagerness to bash our enemies, like Soros, -- some have become very much like him, imo.

Now, tpaine, at what point does
legalization of drugs become part of restoration of our republic? Is there documented evidence of the use of heroin, marijuana, and menthaphetamines in the papers of the founding fathers?
Nope.

If I have to choose on who cares about this country, I am coming down on the side of President George W. Bush, not George Soros.
Soros thinks he is a nation unto himself. I am suspicious of anything he promotes.






The point has been reached, imo, where the re-legalization of drugs, based on alcohol type regulations, must become part of the restoration of our republic.
This unconstitutional prohibitional 'war' is tearing our republic apart.

At #67, I parodied the author & CWO:

"Let me be clear: Soros earned his money, and he can spend it on whatever he wants. What concerns me is the monstrous hatred Soros has developed toward the President of the United States--hatred shared by others in his social circle."

Let me be clear:
What concerns me is the monstrous hatred developed toward those who oppose some of the policies of the President of the United States--prohibitional policies directed towards guns, drugs, and individual rights.

CWO's same specious agit-prop line could be parodied as:

-- 'Bush...the sugar daddy for the pro-prohibition crowd.'

So, after re-posting various comments from me, you, and CWO Jackson, you sum it all up by saying "Bush-the sugar daddy of the pro-prohibition crowd."

I must conclude that legalization of drugs is more important to you than any other issue, including the survival of the republic, which Soros is actively working to undermine.

I also have concluded that there is no point in having further discussion with you about this issue.
