One of the big winners last week wasn't on any ballot: George Soros. He has some very well-placed friends in the forthcoming power structure in America.
The Capital Research Center highlights a 2004 letter on Rep. Barney Frank's website offering support for Soros in the face of "McCarthyite attacks that have been made on you by some American politicians, including colleagues of ours, who have gone far beyond the reasonable bounds of civil discourse in their efforts to discredit you."
The signatories include some very prominent names these days:
Representatives Frank, Rosa DeLauro (D-Connecticut), James McGovern (D-Massachusetts), Howard Berman (D-California), Rahm Emanuel (D-Illinois), John F. Tierney (D-Massachusetts), Edward Markey (D-Massachusetts), Diana DeGette (D-Colorado), George Miller (D-California), William Delahunt (D-Massachusetts), and Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio).
As the CRC notes, this is the same George Soros
"who compared the Bush administration to the Nazis. Soros also implied that President George W. Bush is responsible for killing "thousands of innocent civilians." Soros also funded the sham study that vastly overstated casualties in Iraq."

God can take care of these idiots with one fell swoop. Unfortunately we know not the day or the hour. But it’s coming.
I agree. What goes around comes around.
Soros had both bases covered...he was also funding John McCain’s Reform Institute...with many of McCain’s top campaign people on the payroll of the RI...funded by Soros
I know. It is one of the reasons I wrote in Duncan Hunter on my ballot.
It’s time every new FReeper gets their full education into all things Soros: http://redgirlrising.blogdns.net/when-you-buy-the-party-you-get-a-good-seat/
Now that it’s over we can remember that John McCain had his own connections to Soros by way of the main street republicans.
I finally choked back my bile and WASTED MY VOTE on McCain. I won’t forget it next time around.
I couldn’t do it, despite Palin. I just remembered how pissed I was at him for pimping Amnesty, global warming, stabbing Rummy in the back, pimping the bailout, pushing through CFR with Fred and Feingold, wanting to ban “cheap handguns”, and basically wiping his ass with the constitution.
Oh, was he able to sell out his friends to the Bush administration like he was able to sell out his 'friends' to the Nazis in WW II?
It seems to me that Barney Frank is a man with many irons in many fires. Is he a “useful idiot,” or is he evil?
The saddest part is that the same crowd is already chomping at the bit to do the same thing all over again in the next election.
I really think things would turn out differently if our primary weren’t a simple endurance contest. Also I want to see some debates between opposing sides before we’re stuck with the last man standing.
You know, I got the feeling a couple of times that we were actually *spared* from a McCain presidency.
I will talk with DH after he steps down in Jan and find out if he is willing to do the legwork to put himself in the public eye for the next 2.5 years and lay the groundwork for a successful campaign. If he isn’t interested, I will be taking a hard look at Jindal and Pence and Demint, who are pretty solid choices too.
I certainly hope Hunter isn’t planning a full retirement from politics. Seems like California should be ready for a conservative senator or governor. Maybe he and my soon to be out of work congressman can get together to promote conservative principles.
Fortunately I suspect Tim Walberg will run for his house seat again.
