John McCain funded by Soros since 2001
WND ^ | February 12, 2008 | Jerome R. Corsi

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.

Why does this not surprise me?

back up folks.

This whole thing sounds like a set up to me.

Anyone bothered to question McC on it?

Usually, level headed people give the accused an opportunity to speak before throwing the rope over the biggest branch of the old oak.

McC is the last, well, after Paul and the huckster, one I wanted to see left standing, but I would hope for more discernment from true conservatives...and knowledge of just how devious some people/groups are out there in the shadows or to the lengths they will go to set up an opponent...There are some mighty scurrilous people out there folks...some who make a living out of such doings. (Anyone in politics could guess that McC would run again, and set some traps ahead of time.

Keep the lid on the tar bucket?

Not saying it isn't so - just saying I'm glad I don't have a lot of you on my jury, were I to need one.

This needs to be shouted from the rooftops.

Before or after y'all check out the veracity of it?

I hate to see a Republican presidential candidate being mentioned in the same sentence with Soros.

Especially without checking out the veracity of it.

There's too many gullible and naive people out there who haven't a clue about the people who live in the shadows, bad guys working for bad guys, that make a living setting up traps like this for people they perceive will be in their way in the future.

They know these people will swallow the hook, and the line, and the sinker - before taking a good look at the bait.

This outfit is made up of nasty people, enemies of the country - yet the majority reading the story will believe them first, without doing any in depth homework.

Bad guys win again - with the help of good guys who don't back off and check the facts...and give the accused a shot at explanation.

This makes a person an 'aider and abettor'

LOL

Actually, what with this 'warm' winter we've been having back here in the northeast - snow about a foot an' a half above the top of my picnic table (hoping I can regain use of it for BBQ on "The Fourth") - I've been thinking this might be a good place to survive the winter's of the coming Little Ice Age.

Thanks for nothing, gore...

But I'd modify the door design - be kinda hard to get that open with 6' of snow on top...

"What has Paul done in his many years in Washington to change any of that?"

Ron Paul has introduced legislation to get us out of the United Nations, for starters. Has your Congressman signed on as a co-sponsor? I presume not, since he has you for a constituent.

"He can bitch all he wants and blame us for having troops where the source of energy is, but what has he done to change our need to be there?"

So you think we "need to be there" do you? If you think that is the reason we are there, let me disabuse you of that notion. The reason we are there, and in nearly every other country in the world is simply because that is the way to build a world government.

Not oil.

World Government.

"Not oil."

Could have fooled me. Now that I know we're there for global governance, I'll stop being concerned about the price of energy and its availability in order to keep our economy afloat. I guess we'll have to meet our energy needs with hot air since we aren't allowed to use our own and we shouldn't be in the ME. I take it from your non-answer to my question about what Paul has done to remedy our energy situation, the answer is nothing. You'll pardon my stupidity if I can't figure out how our getting out of the UN is likely to meet our energy needs.

As far as ragging on my Republican Congresswoman to get us out of the UN, I've spent a lot of time writing her letters and e-mails and calling about that very subject. Unfortunately, she didn't listen to me or respond, but she was replaced in '06 by one of the Clintons' WH puppets that needed a job, so I no longer waste my time trying to sway his opinion.

Since your question was the wrong question in the first place, I saved a few steps and inserted the correct answer.

The fact that our country is in the habit of buying cheap oil from the Middle East is an unfortunate circumstance, but we are not going to hear this administration come out and say publicly that it was the oil all along. Not going to happen. Besides, as I have pointed out, it is probably one or both of two other reasons we will never hear mentioned.

"As far as ragging on my Republican Congresswoman..I no longer waste my time trying to sway his opinion."

O.K., same here, actually. My own Congressman is a liberal globalist Republican. Think John McCain as a younger man.

"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?"

Because he owns the entire Democrat party plus a large chunk of Republicans? That would be my guess.
