# NEW YORK. Oct. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Dismayed by what he perceives to be the Bush administration's unilateralism abroad and its "authoritarian" politics at home, billionaire investor-philanthropist George Soros is on a crusade. Before Election Day, he plans to spend almost $25 million of his own money. Not to mention pleading with every single moderate Republican and undecided swing- state voter who'll listen to his argument that a second Bush term would, as Soros puts it, "unhinge the future of the world."(Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20041010/NYSU002 )
In the October 18 cover story of Newsweek's overseas editions, "Can a Billionaire Beat Bush?" (on newsstands Monday, October 11), Senior Editor Marcus Mabry examines the quest of Soros to make sure President Bush is not re-elected. Mabry also looks at how, almost unwittingly, by virtue of his billions, his passion and his name, Soros has become the one-man vanguard of a movement.
This is Soros's first significant involvement in American electoral politics. As he tells Newsweek, for him the battle was joined when he heard President Bush address a joint session of the U.S. Congress in the weeks after September 11. Bush said, "You are either with us or against us." To Soros, a 74-year-old naturalized Hungarian-American with steely blue eyes and a demeanor belying his wealth, the absolutist rhetoric "set off alarm bells." "[George] is allergic to absolutists," says longtime friend Leon Botstein, president of New York's Bard College and vice chairman and treasurer of Central European University, established by Soros's Open Society Institute in Budapest in 1991. "We kid him because he's convinced fallibility is right."
It is NOT his own money. You can bet YOUR last dollar that his lawyers have found a way for him to WRITE OFF these funds as donations for tax exempt purposes. SO, he is spending YOUR money to defeat the President.

"NEWSWEEK COVER: Can a Billionaire Beat Bush?"
Might buy some votes, but overall he won't be able to beat Pres. Bush.
He'd better hurry up. He's 74 years old. Not too many election cycles left in that old coot.
Soros is a convicted felon who should be behind bars or suffer an unfortunate accident
I can't believe the press gets away with convincing the mind-numbed masses that rich are backing W. This guy and dozens of other billionaires like Steve Bing prove otherwise. The MSM continues to score on the fact that they really are Dummicrats.
Just what we need --- a foreigner who thinks he can buy election results --- destroy our freedoms and our election process.
Tick, tock, tick, tock . . . . .
Souros is the antichrist. He fits all the criteria, doesn't he?
Or he could be Sauron. The spelling is so similar.
Actually, I'm surprised that Newsweek is running this. Generally the Dems like to keep the Soros connection well hidden.
Well, it is running in the overseas version...so not many here will see it. However, I've posted a link to it above.

Absolutely allergic.
