Texans Strike Back at Soros
NYPost Page Six ^ | 2-17-06

Posted on 02/17/2006 10:49:27 AM PST by STARWISE

CONSERVATIVES in Texas are using liberal activist George Soros as a "boogeyman" to galvanize their base, with the Free Enterprise Committee featuring the Hungarian-born billionaire in television ads.

Soros, who spent over $25 million trying to beat President Bush in 2004, has lately taken aim at disgraced, doubly indicted House Majority Leader Tom DeLay by funding a series of harsh attack ads in DeLay's home state of Texas.

Yesterday, the Free Enterprise Committee - which calls itself the "leading voice in the public arena fighting for the American system of free enterprise" - counterattacked with a commercial running for the next two weeks that gives Soros a small taste of his own medicine.

"George Soros is full of money and liberal ideas, like legalizing drugs, letting felons vote and keeping the death tax," an announcer says ominously in the opening frame of the group's first ad, which aired on Houston broadcast and cable channels.

"He also bankrolled the liberals linked to attacks on Tom DeLay. Maybe that's because Tom DeLay fights for lower taxes and economic freedom.

(snip)

Asked about the latest attempt to discredit Soros and rally support from voters sympathetic to "Hot Tub" Tom, his spokesman, Michael Vachon, didn't mince words.

(snip)

"Obviously, DeLay has only himself to blame for running afoul of Texas law and running amok with Jack Abramoff's money.

(snip)

"As for the substance, anybody who wants to know what George Soros funds should look at www.soros.org and not rely on attack ads funded by anonymous donors."

Soros - who supports legalized drugs and a one-world government - has been identified by Bill O'Reilly as the chief architect of the Democratic propaganda machine propelled by such groups as moveon.org.

The problem with Texas toilet paper is that it won't take any $#!+ off of anyone.

George Soros is to the Democratic Party what Armand Hammer was to the Communists in the early Soviet Union, a sympathetic, wealthy enabler who did everything possible to assist America's enemies.

And like Hammer, (who bragged about having Al Gore Sr. "in his hip pocket"), there is no doubt that Soros has a pack of 'Rats in his hip pocket as well.

And in conclusion, Soros is quite frankly a dumb ass, to blow 25 million+ on Senator J-Fink, when it should have been as plain as the nose on his ugly face that George W. Bush was going to win a second term.

Soros. Spelled forwards or backwards, the meaning is still "subversive".

President Bush is at his best when speaking off the cuff to real people and answering their questions. I know he feels more comfortable w/the people outside of DC.

Is Soros a US citizen and if not, wouldn't his financial support to the Libs. be considered trying to influence American elections with foreign money?

Hungarian-born, naturalized U.S. citizen has given away more than $15 million to liberal interest groups. The most notable contributions have gone to America Coming Together ($10 million), MoveOn.org ($2.5 million) and a liberal think tank called the Center for American Progress ($3 million).Michael Moore, got mad at a man donating $100,000 to the Swiftvets and ignoring George Soros’ $15,000,000 donation to some leftist commie's.

What gets me with the democratic pimps Soro's and Moore is that they can't get Bush so now are after DeLay..It won't work so move on fools..

What he did in WW2 should give anyone a clue about his character. It's there for the looking up.

Only reason Soros supports the death tax is because he's already shielded his family from it... He supports the death tax for everyone else but him is the real truth.

WWII???

You mean the fact that he survived as did his family and that he avoids Israels and anything to do with the Jewish holocaust? So the survival guilt trip make him a raving lunatic?

He is a senile old man, who is surrounded by communist handlers.

They guide him, and divert money.

In public (rare) he is a stumbling skeleton.

Soros at his old age should take care with his health.
