How much money did Soros contribute to McCain's foundation?

LOL! ya beat me by twenty seconds... :D

[SoConPubbie]

My, My, how you have changed:

What you used to say about McCain

[Gelato]

Masterful!! Thanks for posting.

Alan Keyes has been my choice for President for many years. This powerful speech is another reminder that this is the man needed in the White House.

Could Lincoln have done better?

What an interesting question you raise:

John McCain funded by Soros since 2001: Candidate's Reform Institute also accepted funds from Teresa Kerry

With Democrats nominating candidates in both major parties, it's time for a third party to step up and give us a real choice in November.

[counterpunch]

The Republican primary is over.
McCain wasn’t my first choice.
Nor was he my second choice.

However, I did say very early when polls first started suggesting that he may make a comeback that he would be very good on the war and out of control spending from congress. These are the two biggest issue for conservatives, and no candidate in the race was better on either of them than McCain. Those are his issues. I said it then and I still say it now.

The bottom line is a primary is the time when you sort out your differences. We are in a general elction now. The GOP has its candidate, and that candidate is John McCain. I support the Republican in this election. How about you?

[roamer_1]

You liberal Republicans have forced us into accepting one of your liberal Republican candidates for President... You guys deserve an 'Obama'...

And that is the money shot, right there. When McCain goes down (and he will go down), Lets all remember who set up the circumstances we now face.

Even so, if there is no remedy, and the loss occurs, when those self same liberals come squealing, kicking, and screaming, they will be quick to blame the Conservatives (and especially the Christians) for refusing to sacrifice principle to expediency, as they always have, and always will.

Chumps.

If he does win the CP nomination, it can well mean the end of the Republican hopes this year.

LOL, you funny guy. Have a good night.

[counterpunch]

Are you not aware that Soros is funding 527s to attack McCain?
You must live on another planet.

[counterpunch]

Hey, McCain wasn’t my candidate in the primary, but he is my candidate now.
So you are saying Obama is yours?
Because this November, one or the other is going to be elected president.

[SoConPubbie]

Are you not aware that Soros is funding 527s to attack McCain?

You must live on another planet.

Don't you know Soros funded John McAmnesty's foundation?

Are you not aware that Soros is funding 527s to attack McCain?

I need only direct you to Gelato's post on #25

How very convenient that is.

I learned my lesson with Arnold.

I don't vote for liberals, only conservatives.

I don't care what they have by their name or what they call themselves.

I will be writing in the name of a conservative for President and voting for any Republican in downstream races that I can prove are conservative.

I will donate my time and money ONLY to conservatives.

BTW, if you want to see what John McCain's Presidency will look like, you need look no further than Arnold.

They are peas in a pod and you will get the same result.

[roamer_1]

[Obama, McCain] Because this November, one or the other is going to be elected president.

Well, it ain't gonna be McCain, so a bet on a dark horse isn't gonna hurt a single thing. Besides, McCain doesn't need us Conservatives, remember? He's gonna pick up all his votes in the middle... for every one of us that won't vote for him, five from the indies and middle dems", as somebody hereabouts suggested...

[counterpunch]

You liberal Republicans have forced us into accepting one of your liberal Republican candidates for President...

Problem here is I am neither liberal nor a Republican. I am registered as an unaffiliated voter here in California, which meant I could only vote in the Democrat primary. I chose the non-partisan ballot instead because I wanted no part in casting a vote for either Democrat. Had I voted for one or the other and then they were elected president, I would have had to lived the rest of my life knowing I helped in some small way. Also, I have never cast a vote for any Democrat ever, and I wasn't about to start.

I wanted to vote for Romney, but in California, the GOP primary is not open to independents.

When Kurt Evans (if that is his real name) was shilling for Huckabee, Huckabee had already no chance of winning, and was doing nothing but sabotaging Mitt Romney, clearing the way for McCain. There was no other logical outcome. Now that McCain is the nominee due to Huckabee’s efforts, Mr. Evans suddenly is for Alan Keyes, trying to lead people like a pied piper away from the GOP completely and to the Constitution Party. The net result, if people were to follow his lead would be Obama as the next President. There is no other logical outcome. Kurt’s actions have either been calculated, or out of abject stupidity. It can only be one or the other.

You know for a guy who was first for Rudy (Even a worse candidate than McAmnesty if that is possible) and against Thompson ( who many said could not win) and then strongly for Thompson, you really do not have a leg to stand on talking down to people about changing candidates.

What was that scripture again, oh yea, something to the effect of taking care of the Beam in your eye before trying to take care of the toothpick in somebody elses eye.

[beachdweller]

I might vote Keyes but only if my state (CA) is obviously and unquestionably going to Obama/Clinton, which is likely the case, but we’ll see.

[counterpunch]

It won’t be McCain only if enough conservatives throw away a vote on the likes of Keyes. It isn’t a bet on a “dark horse.” You are not playing with a full deck if you believe that. Never in American history has a 3rd party candidate been elected, not even Teddy Roosevelt when he ran on the Bullmoose ticket. And it certainly isn’t going to change this election.

McCain or Obama. No one else.
Victory or defeat in Iraq.
Tax increases or tax cuts.
Limited government or full blown socialism.
Free trade or protectionism.
You make the choice.

[roamer_1]

Problem here is I am neither liberal nor a Republican [...] I wanted to vote for Romney [...]

*blink* *blink* : |

[counterpunch]

You are full of $h!t. You are nothing but a liar.
I was never for Rudy, I was never against Thompson.
I was for Thompson long before he ever got in the race.

I was critical of Thompson’s campaign performance, because I thought it was a losing strategy, and clearly it was.
I challenged those here who were mindless cheerleaders, sticking their heads in the sand and pretending everything was going according to plan, that his campaign as A-OK, because when no one has the guts to say the emperor has no clothes on, he will continue to walk around naked.

Also, I did on occasion challenge some of the unfair characterizations of Giuliani, but I was never ever one of his supporters. See, unlike many who come here to politic and shill for one candidate or another, I come to discuss politics and current events. I am not always in campaign mode. If I see someone saying ridiculous lies about Rudy Giuliani, or any one else, for that matter, I will challenge it. That doesn’t mean I am campaigning for that person. It just means I am calling it as I see it.
