It's about time the Republicans used the same word games against the opposition.

So sinking to the level of the opposition is now a good conservative thing to do? I can't agree.

Asked if Soros had earned money from drug cartels, Hastert added, “Well, that’s what he’s been for a number years — George Soros has been for legalizing drugs in this country. So, I mean, he’s got a lot of ancillary interests out there. … I’m saying I don’t know where groups — could be people who support this type of thing. I’m saying we don’t know.”

Actually, drug criminalization is in the interest of drug dealers, as it keeps profit margins sky-high. I'm saying I don't know whether Hastert accepts campaign contributions from drug dealers.

Thanks; it's a chicken soup kind of day here. . .;^)

I do wonder if Soros has been thoroughly investigated; seems like they could find some reason to pick up a few of his computers; he really is a dangerous 'citizen-at-large'.

I'm one of the reasons they won't take over.

Dealing with me is not an experience they want to contemplate.

So that sort of thing is wrong only when Democrats do it?

"So that sort of thing is wrong only when Democrats do it?"

I thought my considerations could be misconstrued - or maybe you are on target. . .

. . . but given the impact of Soros; given his intentions; his 'MODUS OPERANDI' and world-wide; I find it hard to believe that this man does not operate below sea-level in many instances.

I was only wondering if Soros has, in fact, been checked out to see just if he counters the law and without constraint.

If there is 'no reason' to be 'too late smart'; then 'why be' too late smart?

Democrat's approach may be similar; but their targets are those who 'legally and self-rightiously', stand in the way of their agenda; as opposed to what I am suggesting; verifying that someone is not disregarding national or international legal constraints; for a self-serving agenda.

SOROS' $$ TOPPLES DA IN WAR OVER DRUGS (This Is Gettin' Scary)
New York Post ^ | September 16, 2004 | KENNETH LOVETT


Posted on 09/16/2004 5:04:47 AM PDT by publius1


SOROS' $$ TOPPLES DA IN WAR OVER DRUGS By KENNETH LOVETT Post Correspondent September 16, 2004 -- ALBANY —

In an unusual infusion of big money into local upstate politics, billionaire George Soros poured cash into the Albany County district attorney's race — and engineered a stunning defeat of the incumbent because the DA supports the strict Rockefeller drug laws.

The Soros-founded Drug Policy Alliance Network — which favors repeal of the Rockefeller laws — contributed at least $81,500 to the Working Families Party, which turned around and supported the successful Democratic primary campaign of David Soares.

Trying to become Albany's first black DA, Soares on Tuesday unexpectedly trounced his former boss, incumbent Albany DA Paul Clyne, who has opposed changing the drug laws. The victory was overwhelming: Soares took 62 percent of the Democratic vote.

"This was more than a local race, that's what the [Soros] funding shows," said Assemblyman John McEneny, who supported the challenger's candidacy.

Soros, an international financier and philanthropist who says he is dedicating his life to defeating President Bush, favors legalizing some drugs.

Clyne backers claim that the Working Families Party, using the Soros money, illegally involved itself in the Democratic primary. They charge the Soros cash was used to target Democratic voters with mass mailings and phone calls labeling Clyne as the reason the drug laws were not reformed, as well as highlighting his anti-abortion stance.

This individual exhibits an elitist, unmitigated contempt for Americans, our laws, and our democratic process.

What should concern us is the monstrous hatred Soros has developed toward the President of the United States--hatred shared by others in his social circle.

Little by little, the truth emerges about the real source of our adversaries obsessions, a truth I've been preaching for ages. People like Soros and his liberal gangs, are motivated not by principle -- except that they worship abortion -- but a deep and abiding hatred for all things Christian and conservative, personified by President Bush.

We must begin to place Soros and his cohorts' actions in their proper context: We need to wake up America to the hate crimes he is pepertrating on us and GWB.

Individuals like these salivate over removing religious symbols and prayer from the Nation----our Christian Nation. They are hate-filled bigots. They hate religion. They hate religious people. They are law-breakers who are infringing on American citizens' rights.

The hidden agenda of these religio-phobic haters despite their high-sounding legal arguments, is to decimate all references to morality, and people who espouse moral principles, b/c in their hate-filled, inferior, insular minds morality equates to dreaded sectarian religious beliefs.

How very successful they have been.

Everyday we see the results of the moral relativists,as we experience the unimaginable crimes, and the collapse of a once-thriving culture's moral underpinnings.

The haters are getting what they wanted: destruction of the moral bulwark of Western Civilization.

I can't support making someone the target of an investigation solely because of his views and the legal ways in which he promotes them. It was wrong when the Klintoons did it and it would be wrong now.

Soros wants to take away our 1st and second amendment rights. Then you know what he wants for us in his next phase.

A fairly stupid comment by Speaker Hastert.

The LAST thing drug cartels want is legalization. When your illegal contraband product becomes legal and cheap, you're outta business.

The WOsD warriors and the drug cartels have exactly parallel interests - keep drugs illegal and expensive !
