Document for all the George Soros ties to Yushchenko.
I bet there's somebody on this thread who can document Yanukovich's ties to Soros.
First, Soros was trying to force Kuchma out in favor of Yushchenko in 2001. That's the first sign that Soros wanted Yushchenko in office.
Next, the strongest evidence is based on similarities to two KNOWN Soros-funded efforts. Namely, OPTOR in Serbia and KMARA in Georgia.
In each of these cases, we have seen intial voting that was a close loss for the Soros-backed candidates. These result were disputed, with accusations of fraud being made on the basis of exit polling data (which is known to be inaccurate - look at the 2002 and 2004 elections here).
At this point, the Soros-funed opposition takes to the streets, threatening crippling general strikes and demonstrations until they seize power DESPITE LOSING THE ELECTION, often engaging in as much fraud as the folks they deposed.
The modus operandi is very similar in all three cases. A lower-grade effort was even mounted in Ohio - again, we saw exit polling data cited in an effort to smear Ken Blackwell. We saw a Soros-funded group (ACT) caught with fradulent voter registrations (like Mary Poppins) in Ohio. This was a well-funded protest campaign - did those large displays at the demonstrations crom from the Kiev or Sevastopol Circuit City, or did Best Buy have them in stock?
I have to wonder if Mary Poppins voted for Yushchenko inthe Ukraine. I would not be surprised if she did.
