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.

McCain's proposal defines grass-roots lobbying broadly. He wants to regulate "any attempt to influence the general public

Is he INSANE? I wonder, how many phone calls it would take to shut down the Senate phone system?

[Valin]

Well if you're not doing anything wrong why would you have a problem with this?

Tides Foundation, isn't that Teresa Kerry's?

[Jimbaugh]

Is McCain in the Republican party or the NAZI party?

Yep. Its time to engage in MASS CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE. That's the way to gum up the works. Like I said, if they want to silence us, they're going to have to arrest people.

Preach it, brother! Move the servers off-shore, flip two big insolent birdies to McCain, Liberman, Pelosi, Feingold, Bush and the Supreme Court, and carry on as before. We must never knuckle under to this fascist outrage.

"This situation is worse than I thought. We all have to get cracking on this issue and defend our 1st amendment rights."

Those rights were sold out back in '02 with the stroke of The President's pen.

[Jim_Curtis]

And in the Senate I think it was the usual suspect RINOs that joined the 'rats so there was no fear of a veto.

Meant to say they couldn't override the veto.

" So please dont even consider doing that ever we are better then that and should show the respect to nancys office that it deserves"

Taxpayers pay for it in the end. Good going.

McCain is a Republican, Bush is a Republican, the House is run by Republicans as is the Senate.

McCain-Feingold had to get past all of three Republican controlled chambers.

Let's stop blaming the not-in-power Democrats.

[Jim_Curtis]

Holding you head high & voting Libertarian is better then holding your nose and voting republican

Are you a big advocate for open borders, Libertarian?

[nopardons]

bttt

[Jim_Curtis]

Let's stop blaming the not-in-power Democrats.

We should blame the rat RINOs and cast them out of the Republican Party. I dare say it should be a higher priority than even beating Democrats since they hold seats that at least belong to a constituency that is willing to vote for Republicans.

[freepatriot32]

Are you a big advocate for open borders, Libertarian?

No i didnt have a problem with open borders before sept 11th but after thati change my position because it wont just be mexicans and canadians walking across open borders it will be muslims there have already been muslims caught on the mexican borders soi am all for sealling both borders and militarizing them if neccassary

also i would say about half of the libertarians are now against it and many state LP leaders have been calling for the removal of that part of the platform so i wouldnt be suprised to see that removed before the 08 elections

[freepatriot32]

Taxpayers pay for it in the end. Good going.

yeah thats why i specifically told everyone not to do it.

[old republic]

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the consent of the governed, -- That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new guards for their future security -- Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. -- The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.

How the hell can you be a Libertarian then? Have you read their platform? And congratulations on spelling "militarizing" correctly.
