John McCain Gets Soros Cash

Senator John McCain's Reform Institute has suffered some bad press recently due to its involvement in an influence-peddling scandal with Cablevision. As usual, however, mainstream media have failed to go to the root of the matter.

Founded on June 26, 2001, McCain's Reform Institute for Campaign and Election Issues has long served as a nerve center for the so-called "campaign finance reform" movement – a movement which has done nothing to clean up campaign finance, but has done a great deal to empower federal judges and government bureaucrats to regulate political speech, in defiance of the Bill of Rights.

Now here's the kicker. The list of donors published on the Reform Institute's Web site reads like a veritable Who's Who of radical, leftwing foundations, including the Tides Foundation, the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the Proteus Fund and George Soros' Open Society Institute. (hat tip, Winfield Myers)

Not surprisingly, in view of the above associations, Arianna Huffington serves on the Reform Institute's Advisory Board. Huffington has long acted as a front for George Soros' "campaign finance reform" efforts. In 2000, she organized the so-called Shadow Conventions which provided John McCain with a bully pulpit to stump for his now-infamous McCain-Feingold Act. George Soros shouldered about one third of the cost of the Shadow Conventions.

This is what I have been saying.

Soros has hedged his bets on both sides. We have all been SUCKERED!!!!!

....he hasnt ordered the "suicide" of anyone I dont believe....

This brings to mind a conversation I recently had with a retired member of the special forces. We were talking about the suspicious deaths surrounding the Clintons. I told him it may be true but I had never heard a theory on who may have carried out these "murders", if they were indeed murders.

He said it is likely they were carried out by Africans who came into the country, did the deed and then were gone. That makes as much sense to me as anything else I've heard, as I've not heard any other theories.

“Would anyone out there like to a start a Soros Ping list? How about you edcoil? I think this guy and his hirelings need to see the light of day constantly.

The money trails always seem to lead back to this demon.”

And Mitt Romney is put down constantly for putting his own funds into his campaign! I find it nice that Romney cares enough about his cause to put his money where his mouth is!

I will never vote for McCain because of his fanatical push for amnesty - including voting against the Cornyn amendment barring terrorists from US. He suffers fading mental and physical health. His outlandish lies reveal his lack of ethics and possible sociopathic personality, and his bad character - corrupt, adulterer, creepy, vicious, given to rages as if taking steroids. He reminds more than a few of the Manchurian Candidate. He can never be trusted.

Beamer,

Yes, this definitely needs to be bumped and disseminated!

DC Chapter ping.

McCain connected to Soros?

This doesn't surprise me one bit. McCain has empowered the leftist agaenda for years.

agaenda=agenda

McCain and Soros are birds of a feather. And you are right, McCain is corrupt and should be in jail instead of public office.

When they call the roll in the Senate, the Senators do not know whether to answer “Present” or “Not guilty.”

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

PING!

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Back at you!

Thread has been revived!...

At least with Hillary in the Oval Office republicans would fight her every initiative tooth-and-claw.

With Maverick John in there they would be his eager water-carriers (for the same projects).

Thanks!
