Leftist Group "America Coming Together" Coming Apart

The pro-Democratic 527 group America Coming Together (ACT)--which at its peak last year had nearly 80 field offices in a dozen swing states and 6,000 paid political volunteers--is essentially shutting down. the group's largest donor was billionaire George Soros, who poured nearly $20 million into ACT last year. ACT is going into a state of hibernation, cutting back to only a few staffers and with no set future plans.

Looks like Americans Coming Together is falling apart.

The nuanced liberal mind. Grey areas abound.

"America Coming Together" should reinvent itself as a producer of pornography, specializing in group sex films.

Couldn't happen to a better bunch of anti-American scumbags and koolaide drinkers.

George Sore@$$ tried to buy and election and ended up throwing money away.

He also helped solidify the conservatives with his anti-American traditions.

No, on that note, don't be surprised to see another nefarious group reform from this rubble with Soros' coin in the background. The organization served its purpose, it is off the radar and insignifant at the moment. As soon as the '08 primary season starts, they will be back. This is far from over, and there are still an ample supply of mushheads to man the phones...

What a shame. All those jobs lost. Who will employ these people? America Coming Together was keeping a lot of people off the streets. Plus, every time I heard the name of the group I had a mental vision of extremely well coordinated patriotic orgies.

Perfect . . . icing on the cake following the post about a Christian group asking for a Congressional probe into the ACLU and the story two weeks ago about the AFL-CIO losing the Teamsters and the SEIU.

When you spread too much fresh manure things tend to burn out.

Well, I guess I'll be the only one that recognizes that they did serve a good cause and 62 million Americans Came Together and won.
