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.

If he did, there would be plenty of people on this site telling me that I must vote for him because he is a Republican. No kidding!

The MSM wont publish a story linking their sugar daddy George Soros w McCain Sure they would, but not right now. If McCain wins the nomination they'd publish the story in the run-up to the general (with Soros' acquiescence). ...probably about a week or two before the election. Once the conventions are over the MSM will break out the long knives on McCain, and the former MSM darling will be blind-sided. ...actually surprised.

I think the The Republican’s powers set this trap with the bait and switch.Giuliani was the bait,wait for Thompson and then switch to Mc Cain.They want Mc Cain as leader but if they do we want things too-in writing.

"Never forget that McCain almost defected from the Republican party in 2001."
Reason number two-million-and-ten NOT to vote for McCain.
I decided years ago, not to ever vote for McCain.
The more I learn about him, the more I am certain of my decision.

If he doesn’t, he should. Not sure Rush is a big Corsi fan though.

No, on account of things my dad tells me from the Navy and the academy about the guy who suffers from Little Man Syndrome.
That's only for starters....
But I have been trying to keep a semi-level head in pursuit of this political season's meaning of life.

Soros started yet another 527. The Fund for America. I haven't ckd for a web site yet.
All of Soros' 527s (thanks to McCain-Feingold) are to wreck the United States. It should be The Fund to Wreck America.

Wonder why none of the usual suspects from the Juan McCain Online Shill Squadron have stopped by for a little chat, yet.
Must be hell for them, having to scramble like mad all of a sudden for an entirely new shopping list of talking points, huh...? ;)
