If you are not yet alarmed and outraged by radical Republican John McCains bipartisan campaign finance reform package, which is in no way bipartisan, Mondays revelation from the American Conservative Union Foundation (ACU) should put an end to your complacency.
In its latest report, Whos Buying Campaign Finance Reform? (1) the ACU unveils the secret that some conservatives have suspected all along: The campaign finance reform movement has, contrary to its anti-big money agenda, raised and spent more than $73 million since 1996; has, contrary to its bipartisan claims, been funded by wealthy Democratic Party soft-money donors, ultra-liberal foundations and Democratic operatives; and has, contrary to its equality of donations philosophy, received astronomical donations from a few key individuals and foundations.
Theres too much money in campaign finance reform, the ACU quips. A few examples of individual contributions:
George Soros contributed $4.7 million to the movement for reform; funneled more than $600,000 to Arizonans for Clean Elections (ACE), single-handedly accounting for more than 71 percent of the groups entire funding; and Soros, and seven of his wealthiest friends, created their own political committee the Campaign for a Progressive Future which funded almost $2 million of political activities in 2000, including $200,000 to the Million Mom PAC.
Steven T. Kirsch, soft-money abolitionist, contributed $500,000 in soft money to finance campaign finance reform groups in 2000, and $1.8 million in independent expenditures against the candidacy of President George W. Bush last year.
Jerome Kohlberg, who spent more than $400,000 of his own money against the campaign of Republican Senator Jim Bunning, R-Ky., in 1998, also donated $100,000 to the Campaign for America. He subsequently bought television ads pleading Lets get the $100,000 checks out of politics.
Or how about some of their liberal foundation donors: ...

No, the race is between Soros et.al. first choice, Obama, and his back-up boy, McCain. It's a lose-lose proposition, but Republicans have actually convinced themselves that a Soros owned Republican is somehow better than a Soros owned Democrat.
There isn't even any lesser of two evils in this one.
Correctamundo.
“You would rather have the death of the conservative movement than a temporary loss of a presidency? (By the same logic, we can elect a true conservative congress to keep Obama from doing anything crazy.)”
Here’s how I see it: if Obama wins, we have dual citizenship votes. What I mean by that is— people can cross the border like crazy and vote, then they can travel back to their true countries. Busfuls of rent-a-votes. While McCain is a nut on immigration, I don’t think he’ll go that far.
So with that in mind, there is HOPE with McCain. I see little hope if any if we ‘temporarilly’ lose with Obama.
Regarding the fairness doctrine— if Obama wins, you can kiss free speech goodbye. Once again, there is HOPE with McCain, but little hope with a ‘temporary’ loss with Obama.
The Rats are not playing a game with us. They’ve been seeking to deliver a knock-out blow to conservatives ever since 94.
Take a look at Canada’s history. A bunch of conservative leaders there were thrown in jail while liberal leaders got away with exposing their voters to tainted prison blood from Arkansas. The IRS will be used to target conservative leaders, as well as other branches. Remember how Rush was targeted for pain killers? That’s just a small warning sign. I don’t foresee us bouncing back from this ‘temporary’ loss.
We might lose some senate seats. And if we win any, it apparently won't be very many. But let's assume we achieve everything you want.
But let's assume we somehow gain control of 65 seats. Then President Obama appoints radicals to the bench. Most likely, the senate would rubber stamp them. Historically, that's what Republican senators do. But let's suppose we don't. Then he recess appoints his radical judges. And it is very unlikely that even with 65 senators, that we would vote down the absentee appointments.
The Supreme Court has a lot of old liberal geezers wishing for Obama to win. They've been holding out, waiting for Bush to leave.
The judiciary is beginning to meddle with property rights [look at Kelo], IMMIGRANTS’ RIGHTS, free speech, and surrendering our sovereignty to the UN. I believe that if Obama wins, our system will collapse. The same would have been true, BTW, if it were Hillary.

Reform Institute greatfully acknowleges Sen. McCain as past Chairman:
The left has bought this election. They win either way. I just do not believe that McCain got to where he is because he is that popular with the right. The Republicans are the right, right? Not under this current reality we find ourselves in. Com’on wake up, the fix is not only in, it has been done already. This whole country will move decidedly left by the legal acts of congress, the Presidency and the new SCOTUS.
Soros and his bunch of elite leftists will be thrilled if McCain wins. And why would that be? Not hard to figure what they want to do to this country and how they plan to do it.
The power is on the left......in the government (all levels), the media (except conservatives on net...they are already planning to fix that), the courts, the sheeple that buy the lefts baloney. There is a remnant of conservatives and that will grow when the left gains full political power, it will wake some of the sheeple up.
The important election fight this year is Congress. The best way to improve Congress is for McCain to go full bore on Drill Now. He hs to include ANWR, too. That could well get us a more conservative congress that will not pass an Amnesty bill. Amnesty is the single most important issue. On it rides the possiblity that the country will completely socialize after 4 years with McCain or sooner with Hussein. If we can get a Congress that will defy either of these men, we can come back in four or eight years. With Amnesty there is no road back.
