Here comes Big George again. Billionaire George Soros is weighing in heavily with more cash, delivering $2.5 million to a new political organization called Fund for America.
According to a year-end campaign report filed with the Internal Revenue Service and uncovered by The Times' Dan Morain, Fund for America was organized by Taco Bell heir Rob McKay, former Clinton White House Chief of Staff John Podesta and Anna Burger of the Service Employees International Union.
The SEIU matched Soros with another $2.5 million, too. Other major donors include investor Donald Sussman, who has given $1 million and AKT Development of Sacramento.

Fund for America is the liberal answer to the conservative Freedom's Watch, organized by former political aides to President Bush and funded by wealthy Republicans including billionaire Sheldon Adelson of Las Vegas. But as a nonprofit corporation, Freedom's Watch is not required to disclose its donors.

SOROS is SOROS spelled backward. I don’t know what it means.
“No, in typical liberal fashion, they simply throw money at their problem, and the money media sharks circle in a feeding frenzy.”
Not in any way at all defending Soros, but they’re simply doing what Freedom’s Watch has been doing, throwing money into the breech. That’s what it takes these days. Lots of cash. Freedom’s Watch even says they have been too successful because now Soros et al are copying what they did.
There’s long time to go before November .. ;)
Soros wastes another $2.5 million — November 2008 (be there).
If I could just get Soros into an MLM, then we could really get him to waste some cash. Maybe Tom Cruise could recruit him into Scientology so the dopey old bastard can really p*ss way his money.
Mr. Soros has spent millions of bucks and has been pulling the strings of the Dem party for at least seven years now. And after spending all of that money ........ all he has to show for it is: Control of the Democrat Party and an excellent uncontested chance at the White House by one of his puppets.
HMMMMM, Scary thought, but he may have made some serious advances and inroads with his investment. This next administration may well be his pay day, Every thing he hoped for.
But .............naaaah.........it couldn't be, could it?
Nah.

#28 George Soros. Net Worth: $7.2 billion
It means that his name is a "palindrome."
A palindrome is a word (or phrase) that is spelled the same forwards as backwards.
Republicans are retiring in droves from Congress, just as dems did after they entiered minority status in 1995. I do not see any hope in the next few years of any improvement in Republicans winning more races than democrats.
It is very conceivable that we will see a dem president and a filibuster proof Senate, and more heavily dem house of representatives.
The numbers are NOT good!
“Soros is writing a personal check of $2.5 million to neutralize us. The Big Labor bosses are pitching in another $2.5 million.”
And just yesterday I read that Hillary was putting $5 million of ‘her own money’ into her campaign.
Or is it ‘her own money’. (was once Soros and Big Labor signed the checks)
