These are the multitmillion dollar checks from Soros, Haim Saban, Steven Speilberg, Peter Lewis, and others, all of whom say they are committed to getting special interest money out of politics, and all of whom swear their love of campaign finance reform.
George Soros joined the list of billionaire democratic donors. Soros, one of the wealthiest men in the world, promised $15.5 million to defeating President Bush. Also on this list are Bill Gates, Ted Turner and wealthy Hollywood liberals like Haim Saban, $9.3 million; Fred Eychaner, $7.4 million; Stephen Bing, $6.7 million; Steven Kirsch, $3.2 million; Bernard Schwartz, $2.3 million; and Sen. Jon Corzine, D-N.J., $2 million. The nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics found that Democrats garnered 92% of all individual donations of $1 million or more during the 2001-2002 election cycle. Republicans, received 64% of individual contributions less than $200. Democrats are no longer the party of the poor and disadvantaged.
