Candidate's Reform Institute also accepted funds from Teresa Kerry
As Sen. John McCain assumes the GOP front-runner mantle, his long-standing, but little-noticed association with left-wing donors such as George Soros and Teresa Heinz Kerry is receiving new attention among his Republican critics.
In 2001, McCain founded the Alexandria, Va.-based Reform Institute as a vehicle to receive funding from George Soros' Open Society Institute and Teresa Heinz Kerry's Tides Foundation and several other prominent non-profit organizations.
McCain used the institute to promote his political agenda and provide compensation to key campaign operatives between elections.
In 2006, the Arizona senator was forced to sever his formal ties with the Reform Institute after a controversial $200,000 contribution from Cablevision came to light. McCain solicited the donation for the Reform Institute using his membership on the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. In a letter to the Federal Communications Commission, he supported Cablevision's push to introduce the more profitable al la carte pricing, rather than packages of TV programming.

I meant thanks for the “ping” to the post not the “post”
: )
Romney has not dropped out. He still holds his delegates. Keep that in mind as there is still an option in this race if something can force McCain to drop out in disgrace. (Crossing fingers.)
It kills me to hear just about everyone in the GOP handbasket coming out and saying why we should vote for McCain. Making statements like “they’ll vote for him in the end because he will be the GOP candidate, and they won’t vote for a Democrat.” Just be good little Pubbies.
If we don’t make a stand this time, there won’t be a next time. The Republican party has moved so far to the left, it’s not even recognizable anymore.
My vote goes to Ron Paul!
Wait, how can one defect from something one is not a part of, or have I misunderstood the term "RHINO"?
ROFLMAO!!!!
That’s no ho! She’s a pimp! ;-)
Actually, Kent. I think the post just confirmed what most know—a shill (i.e. paid agent of a campaign).
Just ignore it and the troll will find its way back under the bridge. ;-)
Oh, great. Now I’ve got this hideous mental image of Obama in a black bustier, fishnets and a feathered boa, teetering unsteadily in his six-inch stiletto heels as he sullenly walks back and forth along the same lonely, midnight stretch of shipyard... back and forth... back and forth... ;)
yw, TN.
I'd call it a "cha ching ping" too! lol!
“are you a bama troll?”
I think you better ask yourself that question. We are NOT discussing Obama, why are you trying to pull this thread off subject, hmm?
why else after supposed torture did he come back loving commies instead of hating their guts as the rest did. Maybe the movie, Manchurian Candidate was a preview, a harbinger...Interesting....when I see those words, "Manchurian Candidate," I think of Phil and his graphic.This website galvanizes my suspicions over the years, as the movie had already branded into my consciousness years before.
Borrowing from the title of a popular movie of some years ago, many activists who have felt the fangs of this pit bull call him the "Manchurian Candidate." Is that a fair accusation to level at Senator McCain, the war hero and the former POW?
calcowgirl is my friend....she has established her credentials here in ways that seem to be beyond your capabilities....unless you want to be reported to Admin, I suggest you back off.
Is anyone surprised by this?
Guess who's been funding John McCain?
Since 2001, the year President Bush took office, Senator McCain's Reform Institute has received funding from the Far Left billionaire George Soros and his Open Society Institute. Soros once compared President Bush to the Nazis. McCain's organization has also received funding from Teresa Heinz Kerry's Tides Foundation. In 2004, McCain seriously considered becoming John Kerry's running mate.
In July 2001, the Reform Institute listed Senator McCain as the chairman of its advisory committee. Several staffers on his 2000 Presidential campaign found jobs at the Institute before rejoining McCain for his 2008 campaign. Also on the advisory committee of the Reform Institute since its birth in 2001 is the ultraliberal writer and website operator Ariana Huffington of Huffington Post.
Soros has also funded the Far Left character assassination websites MoveOn.org (which ran an ad contest for ads to oppose President Bush and posted two on its website that called the President a Nazi), Media Matters for America (also funded by a large grant from the Clintons), and other such organizations. He was a large contributor to Senator John Edwards. MoveOn.org has accused American Jews of having dual loyalties.
One of the directors of Soros's Open Society Institute is Morton Halperin, a leftist formerly associated with the Institute for Policy Studies, an organization the U.S. government officially identified as a Communist front.
Why is a Republican Senator and Presidential candidate accepting funding from a hate-mongering, anti-American smear merchant like Soros?
Soros likes to throw the charge of being a Nazi at his opponents and likes to describe himself as a Holocaust survivor. But he admitted in his book that as a 14-year-old boy he went around in occupied Hungary fingering the local Jews for the Nazi occupiers. In other words, he is by his own admission a Nazi collaborator. As David Horowitz and Richard Poe wrote in their book The Shadow Party: How George Soros, Hillary Clinton, and Sixties Radicals Seized Control of the Democratic Party, Soros "survived [the Holocaust] by assimilating to Nazism."
Soros was also an associate of the late Francois Genoud, who met with the Grand Mufti on direct instructions of Hitler and who was the keeper of the Nazi fortune after World War II.
If we can expel little people like John Demjanjuk from our country for their forced service in the armed forces of the Nazis, why can't we denaturalize Soros for his willing service to them and send him back where he came from?
McCain should be ashamed of this funding. Although he has severed his formal connections with the Reform Institute, he should publicly condemn Soros and formally call on the Reform Institute to return the money. It is about the most tainted money you can get.
"The battle will be lost, not when freedom of speech is finally taken away,
but when Americans become so ‘adjusted or conditioned’ to getting along
with the ‘group’ that when they finally see the threat, they say,
‘I can’t afford to be controversial.'"--Gus Hall, former USA Communist Party Chief

Thanks for the support folks. Trolls are pretty transparent and, thankfully, they have short live-spans. ;-)
