History's most notorious Georgian-turned-Russian, the politically astute Joseph Stalin once remarked, "The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything."
The lesson has not been lost on the increasingly notorious Hungarian-cum-American George Soros.
A group backed by Soros is gearing up to steal the 2012 election for President Obama and congressional Democrats by installing left-wing Democrats as secretaries of state across the nation. From such posts, secretaries of state can help tilt the electoral playing field.
This is, of course, the same Soros, the same hyperpolitical left-wing philanthropist who makes no secret of his intention to destroy capitalism.

That would be the worst thing that could happen.
Just were to you think all his money would go?
Leftist organizations would receive the biggest windfall of their lives.
Soros is a fulminating plague that will not improve with age!
He has a son who is also a lefty activist. I’m sure he’ll get the lion’s share of the loot. I doubt that he has the connections that the old man has, however.
Is it any wonder that the democrats always project their own corruption and dirty dealings on conservatives? If they really looked into the mirror of their collective souls, they would see nothing but rotting corpses. They can’t handle the truth, because it is they who are truly the corrupt and money grubbing nazi’s.
With all that money...the connections will come to him.

That is an excellent idea!
Ping to a very important article.
We would not be in this mess to the same extent that we are now if it hadn’t been for the ‘Rats’ cheating at the polls aided and abetted by their “see no evil” Secretaries of State, who are charged with overseeing elections in their respective states, including presidential elections.

Even stupid Dems know that, for them, it's curtains in 2010-12---unless massive voter fraud takes place. They need to buy votes and must get billions into the hands of their operatives---Soros, ACORN, SEIU, immigrant groups, etc.
Remember that the first four years of ObamaCare is to amass $$billions. Period. Healthcare does not kick in til 2013. This subversive trick will accrue massive amounts of govt money to elect/reelect Dems. That is the one and only reason to frantically push ObamaCare on a recalcitrant citizenry.
Obama already has a huge slush fund---80% of stim is still under his control. Then on June 9, 2009 Obama announced, "Several financial institutions are set to pay back $68B to taxpayers." Taxpayers assumed that would be returned to the general funds from whence it had come .......in order to pay down the debt. The truth, is that the money returned is finding new life as part of what amounts to a Treasury Dept-controlled slush fund.......for Dems campaign accounts.
============================================
OBAMACARE UPDATE The US Senate may break their own rules, and go against the will of the vast majority of US Citizens, to pass health care bill.......by using the nuclear option.
Obama may be colluding to give something extra of value----campaign financing, district money, govt gratuities, jobs for relatives, etc----in exchange for healthcare votes. Mary Landrieu (D-LA) got $300 million for her House vote.

ObamaCareCost Could Top $6 Trillion

(Excerpt) Congressional Democrats are using several budget gimmicks to disguise the cost of their health care overhaul, claiming the House and Senate bills would cost only (!) about $1 trillion over 10 years. Now that critics have begun to correct for those budget gimmicks, supporters of ObamaCare are firing back.
One gimmick makes the new entitlement spending appear smaller by not opening the spigot until late in the official 10-year budget window (2010–2019). Correcting for that gimmick in the Senate version, Sen. Judd Gregg (R-NH) estimates, “When all this new spending occurs” — i.e., from 2014 through 2023 — “this bill will cost $2.5 trillion over that ten-year period.”
Another gimmick pushes much of the legislation’s costs off the federal budget and onto the private sector by requiring individuals and employers to purchase health insurance (only illegals are exempt from this provision).
(A) When the bills force somebody to pay $10,000 to the government, the Congressional Budget Office treats that as a tax.
(B) When the government then hands that $10,000 to private insurers, the CBO counts that as government spending.
(C) But when the bills achieve the exact same outcome by forcing somebody to pay $10,000 directly to a private insurance company, it appears nowhere in the official CBO cost estimates — neither as federal revenues nor federal spending.
That’s a sharp departure from how the CBO treated similar mandates in the Clinton health plan. And it hides maybe 60 percent of the legislation’s total costs. When I correct for that gimmick, it brings total costs to roughly $2.5 trillion (i.e., $1 trillion/0.4).
Here’s where things get really ugly. TPMDC’s Brian Beutler calls “the” $2.5-trillion cost estimate a “doozy” of a “hysterical Republican whopper.” Not only is he incorrect ... Read more at cato-at-liberty.org ...

I want my country back.
Then again, a big chunk would go to Big Brother if the 'Rats get their way with restoring the estate tax - unless they pass a special amendment to exempt him.
Soros likely has family to leave his fortune to as well, and I have no idea if they share his political extremism.
Thanks for the ping!
