"When I was in seminary school.."

WASHIGTON, D.C. – Billionaire investor, donor to radical causes and political activist George Soros, speaking at the last hurrah event of his whirlwind anti-Bush tour, told a luncheon audience at the National Press Club: “Now that I am at the end of my tour, I am not reassured... The race is too close for comfort.”
“I embarked on the tour because I was worried that the dramatic deterioration in Iraq did not produce the decisive lead for John Kerry I had confidently expected,” Soros conceded.
Asked what he will do if George W. Bush wins another term, Soros lamented, “I shall go into some kind of monastery. If we endorse him [Bush], my next question will be ‘what’s wrong with us?’” Competing for attention at the National Press Club was a contingent from the National Legal and Policy Center that has been shadowing Soros during his recent appearances in the swing states of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Florida.
At a separate press conference, the Center announced the formation of their “Soros Truth Squad,” touting the fact that just hours before, it had filed suit with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) complaining of the activities of two nonprofit organizations that hosted Soros’ current round of anti-Bush speeches.
Also the subject of formal complaint by the Center: Soros himself. The Center alleges that Soros has failed to report “significant travel, public relations and other costs associated with his speaking tour.”
During the Center’s presentation, a representative who came over from the Soros luncheon contingent shouted out that the allegations against Soros were false. Peter Flaherty, the president of the Center, countered that Soros had not yet been served with the complaint, so how could the gentleman know it was falsely based?
Meanwhile at the luncheon, NewsMax was on hand to ask Soros about the just filed complaint. With no small amount of irony, Soros replied, “It’s a shady group supported by a shady billionaire ... I think I was well within my rights under the First Amendment.”
The Soros luncheon was crashed by a heckler who grabbed the microphone and held up a picture of his dead son – apparently the victim of a drug overdose (Soros supports the legalization of marijuana, the use of methadone and even the clinical dosing of addicts with heroin).
A couple of burly men in suits wrestled the man roughly out of the ballroom, smacking him into a door jam before resuming their stations to the left and right ends of the head table.
Soros stayed on topic. “Some people have a false understanding of where I stand [on drugs].
Soros opined that Kerry was going to win Ohio, owing in no small measure to the 850,000 newly-registered voters there. He added that he hoped the Republican “voter suppression” would not dampen the grass roots movement against Bush he has been fostering during his round of speeches.
“I am very concerned about the election being dependent on the Courts. Knowing who will be president on Nov. 2 is rather slim,” Soros said. “It’s all very demeaning of the democratic process in this country.”
Conceding that his hope for a “democrat landslide” has gone by the boards, his only direct remark about candidate Kerry was that he knew him personally and that he would make “a good president.”
Another tepid endorsement of Kerry came as he explained that in his opinion Kerry understood that “offense is not necessarily the best defense if it offends those whose allegiance we need. John Kerry is aware of this other dimension... He is nuanced because reality is complicated...
“John Kerry won all three debates but President Bush invokes his faith and that inspires his followers… Bush has shown that he is incapable of recognizing his mistakes. He insists on making reality conform to his beliefs even at the cost of deceiving himself and deliberately deceiving the public.”
“We have been spared a terrorist attack at home but it is quite a stretch to attribute that to the invasion of Iraq,” Soros argued. “The insurrection in Iraq, however, is a somber reality and it doesn’t make us safer at home. Our security, far from improving as President Bush claims, is deteriorating.”
Soros concluded: “If we elect President Bush the war on terror will never end. The terrorists are invisible, therefore they can never disappear. It is our civil liberties that may disappear instead.”
Meanwhile, back at the “Soros Truth Squad,” Flaherty noted emotionally, “God is right here at the National Press Club! ...I wonder if he has embarked on his tour because he wishes that he were the candidate, instead of Kerry?”
I'm not certain you'd have a lot of shaving to do - it looks like he wears a very bad rug. He might have the same rug maker as Jim Trafficant or maybe he has Jim's old rug since he doesn't have much use for it. (And I do not dislike Trafficant anything like I do Soros. At least Jim voted correctly most of the time.)
Maybe he'll just move away and try to take down someone else's country!!!Maybe they'll shoot the buzzard!!!
>>>what’s wrong with us?<<<
SINCE, when ,was THAT LYING DOPE DEALER one of "US"
"When I was in seminary school.."
How about a prisen cell instead?
"“John Kerry won all three debates but President Bush invokes his faith and that inspires his followers..."
A couple of points here. One, is that Soros hates anything to do with an Eternal Power and Creator.
The second is that President Bush is not invoking his faith, but INSPIRES faith in him. Soros is flogging an effete dilettant that he controls.
Please, do go to a monestery, Mr. Soros. You are in sore need of an exorcism.
"...and he's buyyyyyinnng....a stairway...to hellllll."
"Finally, he seems to be "pining" for a terrorist attack at home. I'd put agents on this guy's trail and see where he's been the last few months and find who he's been talking to."
I'm sure that the KGB, Mossad or one of the MI branches of the UK could tell us everyone this pos has talked to in the past year.
If he was involved in financing any the terrorism in Russia, Putin will prempt this sorry POS!
If he makes a substantial donation to my favorite charity before entering the monastery, all will be forgiven.
haha ! A monastery. Just like the Hollyweird crowd kept
saying they'd leave the country 4 years ago if Bush won.

Unfreakin'believable...
As usual with the DIMS, any good news for us is bad news for them; any bad news for us is good news for them!!!
"I know that many of you will get off the election
work after President Bush is re elected next week,
but I have decided to stay with this fight to expose
the bastards like Soros and the lies of the big media.
"Maybe the few of us that will continue fighting will
get more light after all these millions in media blather
have calmed down."
Count me in on exposing and bringing down the MSM, $oreA$$ and other super rich elite left wing fascists like Heinz Kerry in the next 4 years.
And a vow of poverty! The Discalced Carmelites!
The only Monastery which would taken him in would be the Little Brothers of Judas Iscariot. With Satan as the head fallen angel.
Shady billionaires? LOL
What is Soros, a Greek or something like that? Why is he here in this country ? Why is he interfering in our election ? Just wonderin'
Welcome to Kerry's "Global Test" environment.
