Will George Soros Buy the Presidential Election of 2008?
FOX NEWS ^ | September 24, 2007 | Bill O'Reilly

Posted on 09/24/2007 1:47:07 PM PDT by Baladas

The real story behind the MoveOn smear attack on General Petraeus is far left financier George Soros. He has given millions to MoveOn and other Internet sites that smear conservatives and traditionalists.

If you want to know the full extent of Soros' intrusion into the political process, read Investors Business Daily's editorial today. Go to their Web site. It is downright frightening.

Now the far left billionaire has bought politicians, journalists, an Internet character assassins. He wields tremendous power in this country. So much power that 24 Democratic senators were afraid to condemn MoveOn for its outrageous attack on General Petraeus. Those senators include Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Christopher Dodd, and Harry Reid. Again, those senators would not vote to condemn the MoveOn ad.

Well, he couldn't buy Ned Lamont that Senate seat last year, so I doubt it. One good thing about Bill O'Reilly is that he's good at making George Soros cry via one of his other front groups, (only liberal) mediamatters.

Peggy Noonan said this after Bush won the last election...

“George Soros cannot buy a presidential election. Savor. “Volunteers” who are bought and paid for cannot beat volunteers who come from the neighborhood, church, workplace and reading group. Savor.”
The leaders of the Bush effort see it this way: A ragtag band of more than a million Republican volunteers who fought like Washington’s troops at Valley Forge beat the paid Hessians of King George III’s army. Savor.”

It worked then ...it will work now.

If he wants to buy Hillary, I have only one thing to say: Buyer beware.

Someone explain to me why a foreigner from a communist country gets to give money to political parties in the US in the first place.

The last time I checked open secrets, his money was going to Obama.

Nope. He’s blown so much money trying to buy the WH and certain elected seats - nearly all of which he has ended up losing. I don’t think he has enough money to buy the WH for either Hitliary or Obama.

O’Reilly is definitely correct on this. The Democrats are simply petrified at the thought of having their funding unceremoniously cut off by their hard-left paymasters. (Probably no heroin addict was ever more frightened of losing his regular fix.)

Interesting question. Politicians buy votes every election by promising something to someone, usually at the expense of someone else.

He became a U.S. citizen in 1961.

So did Tom Lantos. Hasn’t kept them from from repeatedly breaking the oaths of citizenship that they took.

What I want to know is what lies did Soros put on his U.S. application for citizenship? Under what president?

By now, everyone is too chicken to pull his U.S. citizenship because he will expose (blackmail)a bunch of crooks in our government.

Agreed. George Soros is a selfish, dangerous man. He thinks the US should not be a world power and should be subservient to the UN as just another state.

I think his money will be on Ron Paul.

Tom Lantos:

There has always been questions about his background. He seemed to have lied a lot about his past. Enough didn’t match up. But somehow, he was still given U.S. citizenship.

A pox on everyone who was involved.

I had to turn him off when I was watching the Patreous briefing. It literally made me ill to hear this little ex-communist with his whiny accent berating a man whose boots he was not worthy of licking.

“Will George Soros Buy the Presidential Election of 2008?”

Yes, sadly, it looks like he will. :(

That oath is out of date whether one likes it or not.

An American can have as many passports as one can (legally by the other country or countries).

It happens every day.

I know of an American who has her U.S. passport, Panamanian passport, and Italian passport. These things are all legal now.
