An update on what the left is up to, and how they push their agendas on the American People. Clearly, they don't intend to allow anything to stop them.

Where are the conservative billionaires? Money talks!

[VaBthang4]

"Where are the conservative billionaires?"

Dont worry. We do not call press conferences. Let your alms be done in secret...and God will reward you openly.

Wisdom the the likes of Soros and his coterie could never stomach....and that is why they'll never win.

[Corporate Law]

Herb and Marion Sandler, the California couple who own a multi-billion-dollar savings and loan business

Which company is this, so I know not to do business there. The others I know and avoid.

[Phantom Lord]

battle with US neo-cons

Can someone please define what a "ceo-con" is?

To date, the best definition I have heard came from Limbaugh. He says it is liberal code for "republican jews."

[EternalVigilance]

Hope they spend it as effectively as they did in the last election cycle.

[Phantom Lord]

And when is Soros going to go live in a monestary like he promised if Bush won?

Not surprised that he is just another liberal liar on the long list of liberal liars.

[shekkian]

After spending all those millions of dollars on a lost cause, what do they do next? Spend more money!

[Always Right]

Far from being disillusioned by the defeat of John Kerry, the Democratic presidential candidate, the billionaires have resolved to invest further in the intellectual future of the left

George Soros is going to die a pennyless man if he plans on investing in the intellectual future of the left.

[EdReform]

BTTT

[EternalVigilance]

The sums involved are the subject of speculation: one person said he had heard a commitment to spend more than $100m over 15 years, another said at least $25m over five years. Several people said their understanding was that the billionaires had decided to spend more, rather than less, than they did in 2004.

But hey, Mr. and Mrs. Regular Citizen! Don't you dare give a candidate more than a couple thousand bucks, or advertise during the time we tell ya...

[NRA2BFree]

Socialism in America, bought and paid for by billionaires.

[sassbox]

wasn't Soros supposed to join a monastery after the election?

[TonyWojo]

The Ohio Insurance company is Progressive.

Now is the time to switch to Geico.

[WildTurkey]

"A group of billionaire philanthropists are to donate tens of millions more dollars to develop progressive political ideas in the US in an effort to counter the conservative ascendancy. " One of Soros' programs is drug legalization. His hope is to alter our society while at the same time making billions marketing drugs to the masses.

Soros, Sperling and Lewis.

[Owl558]

I'm sure glad McCain got all that soft money out of politics. I don't know where we'd be without him!

[/sarcasm off]

[Lion in Winter]

Their activities worked in the Ukraine and they are trying to get them to work in Belarus too.

Granted the leaders in Ukraine and Belarus were not perfect... far from it... but, what gives soros and his left-wing buddies the right to influence countries in which they do NOT reside.

And, further.... THEY HATE PRESIDENT BUSH just like they hated the leaders of Ukraine and Belarus.

I think if Soros is your enemy, you cannot be ALL bad. Because soros must be a shill for the devil if he worked against George Bush's re-election and likes/wants hillery clinton and billy boy to be in power.

[Tempest]

AHAHAHAHAAAAA!!! Soros uses the term Neo-con in order to try to stereotype and pigeon-hold conservatives into some easy to demagogue model.

It's such a pathetic irony that a group of rich prviliged individuals, would try to oppress hard working middle Americans into "progressive thinking".

[Tempest]

"A group of billionaire philanthropists"

Moral of the story

If you're a rich lefty trying to indoctrinate people, you're a charitable "philanthropists".

And if your a rich conservative, you're an evil lobbyist trying to buy the vote....

[ssaftler]

Oh, I don't know. The Conservative billionaires do real work with their money, but don't hold news conferences.

[msnimje]

Will the Republicans have to write off these donations? The more Soros spends the better the Republicans do.

[XJarhead]

This is just classic liberal b.s., and it'll fail.

Conservative talkers and thought have advanced because of competition. Talented people and good ideas attracted audiences, no-talents and bad ideas fell by the wayside.

By trying this kind of top-down intellectual force-feeding, they inevitably are going to back the wrong horses. In fact, the subsidizing of their bad idea mays well squeeze out whatever few decent ideas/personalities the left may have.

The irony is perfect. The ideology of centralized governments is going to torpedo itself by applying the same flawed philosophy to its media efforts.
