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.

When you read Soros biography it is very interesting..He is a complex man, Hungarian and Jewish. Funded anti-communist activities behind the Soviet Union, shrewd currency trader, broke the Bank of England at one time but the Bank survived, loves Independence movements around the world...An activist Judiciary would fit right into his scheme of things—legitimizing his radical changes,and changes that his cronies ( ex: POTUS, Congress) can put through that he favors—such as laws on Global Warming...Reading his Bio, it struck me that if he could bring down the Federal Reserve in a huge currency crisis he would do it, no hesitation...Very dangerous man, just as dangerous as some of the leftist causes he sponsors...
Hmmm, maybe I should run for POTUS
LOL
I agree - we witnessed the same. I’m w/you on the prayer (and fast).
First consider that Soros funds various other leftist causes...If he can help each of them develop databases of their donors, he can then get them to merge their information so they can all see who the big contributors are, what States they are from, use the databases to send out Activist alerts, and in general to mobilize the entire merged database of names into a huge nationwide action group...Earlier didnt we see that Reform Inc had something like over 100,000 contributors...Multiply that by 20 organizationa and you get 2 million and probably more, all potential activists..Moveon.Org alone has over 3 million ‘members’...If they can persuade even 10 or 15 % of that merged base to vote or act as a group, that is one powerful group...it is all about money and power to the Dems, bottom line...
Wonder where this will lead? McCain got about 1/3 the vote...his shill, the slimey huckster is out conning the states that havent voted yet. Romney (not my chooice but would vote for him) got smeared by these two dirtbags. Any wonder why folks are upset?
And these two mean: Making it easier for crimigrants and criminaliens, to VOTE!
Aha! Thanks! I totally missed that one (thinking about too many things at once, here).
I hink I've read recenly about felon voting... perhaps that, too?
I tried to track some of his major investments a few years back. After a while, my head was spinning. I didn’t have adequate resources to get very far with only public records. But the exercise was enlightening.

Very cool! That could do a number of things... or all of them! It looks like kind of a combination of a data base and project manager.

Not tonight, though...I'm going to bed.
Interesting name, rearing it's ugly head again funding McCain's Reform Institute. Where have I seen Max before?:
Goodfellow’s Bedfellows(snip)
The VVAW’s Winter Soldier Investigation originally began in January 1970 as part of the CCI’s inquiry... Fonda raised funds for WSI through a speaking tour at 54 colleges, through appeals to United Auto Workers and Detroit attorneys, and through benefit concerts involving fellow celebrities Donald Sutherland, Dick Gregory, Barbara Dane, Phil Ochs, David Crosby, and Graham Nash. Also contributing significant funding was the United States Servicemen’s Fund (USSF), whose funding in turn came from sources such as Cora and Peter Weiss’ Fund for Tomorrow, Philip Stern and David Hunter’s Stern Family Fund, Anne Peretz, and Democratic Party antiwar wing financier Max Palevsky (cofounder with businessmen Harold Willens and Henry Niles of an antiwar group called Business Executives Move for Peace in Vietnam aka BEM, founded in 1967 and changed in 1975 to Business Executives Move for New National Priorities). ...
>>”I hink I’ve read recenly about felon voting... perhaps that, too?”
Yes, and in-prison voting, too.
But keep in mind the FACT that both crimigrants and criminaliens are ALL “pre-convicted” serial felons!
Then there is the one-two punch of
1. Giving Illegals driver’s licenses,
2 Automatic voter registration when they are given the license.

After McCain gets the idea that his mom is ready for another chance to speak to the press. She'll open her mouth again and hand the election to the Socialists. McCain's mom needs to be under lock and key until after he is out of politics.
JOHN McCAIN, YOUR MOM'S MOUTH WILL RUIN YOU!
What? But Rudy told me that illegal immigration is not a crime! He said so! ;-)
Okay... Bed time for bonzo here. LOL.
