John McCain funded by Soros since 2001

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.

Im waiting for pictures of McCain to be released showing him drowning kittens and eating live children. WTF? When will this nightmare end?

The Clinton Machine never sleeps. But to answer your question, first Tuesday in November, 2008.

Arianna Huffington, syndicated columnist and creator of the HuffingtonPost.com, has served on the Reform Institute's advisory committee since the group's inception.

Arianna Huffington!

"When will this nightmare end?"

It IS that, isnt it. For me it will probably end when Hillary shysters her way to the Dem Nomination. At that point my worst nightmare will be a foregone conclusion and I'll probably just turn of my TV Set.

I hate to see a Republican presidential candidate being mentioned in the same sentence with Soros.

“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.”

Does this statement ring true? McCain must be some sort of genius to figure all this out in 2001.
