Billionaire mounting anti-Bush effort

RESTON, Va., Sept. 17 (UPI) -- Billionaire George Soros reportedly is putting together a $10 million warchest to prevent U.S. President George Bush from winning a second term.

Soros, who in 1992 made $1 billion in a single day through currency speculation that drove down the British pound, along with a group of philanthropists and trade unions, is mounting a campaign to unseat Bush for what he sees as the administration's misuse of power, Canada's National Post reported.

"You passed the U.S.A. Patriot Act without proper discussion," Soros said in a recent interview with PBS. "Anyone who opposed it was accused of giving aid and comfort to the terrorists. I think we've gone off the rail in this country. Lawmakers didn't even get a copy of the bill. They couldn't even read it before it was passed."

The Hungarian-born Soros is estimated to be worth $5 billion and has been involved in philanthropic activities -- largely in Eastern Europe -- since 1979.

Is George Soros even an American citizen?

[mhking]

Just damn.

If you want on the new list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

[Cicero]

Soros is a malign and dangerous man, as most Freepers already know. If he is determined to get Bush out of the White House, I doubt if he will limit his spending to $10 million dollars.

By the way, I thought the Campaign Reform Act was supposed to prevent this sort of thing? Oh, I forgot, only for Republicans.

DEM$ - The Party of The People.

In 163AD a Roman Patrician named Didius Julianus bought The Roman Empire in a drunken auction. This is getting almost as bad. The SEC needs to perform its regulatory function and block this M&A.

The Lone exception being Mccain? McCain doesn't follow these rules either.

[1Old Pro]

Perhaps he'll give it to one of the Dem leading candidates, like Al Sharpton.

Democrats - fighting for the rights of criminals and terrorists on a daily basis. The real reason they hate the Patriot Act!

Liberal Democrats have learned money and being rich does not make you bad guy (if there on the Liberals side)

Conservative Republican need to learned money and being rich does not make you good guy(if there on the Liberals side)

[finnman69]

I wonder how many arab groups Soros gives money to?

>Billionaire George Soros...

Hello, and good day.
Mister Soros, meet Miss Smith.
Miss Smith, this is George...

[alloysteel]

And the echo of Ross Perot rises again.

Is this truly an ideological differentiation, or do some of thes old rich white guys just simply hate the Bush family?

Some people simply do not pay enough taxes.

"Bring it on", Soros.

[agrace]

Check this out - George Soros, population control advocate extraordinaire, strikes again.

For the life of me, I don't have a clue as to what you're saying. Is it "there", or "they're"?

[jmc813]

Ping. Have fun.

[Democratshavenobrains]

Typical braindead liberal. If he invested this money in a few Senate campaigns next year instead of just to annoy Bush, he could actually have done some good for his side.

The world socialists are forming up to defeat GW, our cuurent human symbol of national sovereignty, a "cowboy".

The EU/China/Oily Arab troika with the UN as their bully boys wants predictable socialism which their elite can profit from the global economy. Corrupt socialism is fascism.

The proven track record of corruption, such as Kofi's kick backs from "Oil for Food" and bahksheesh (Arabic for money under the table - such as communist Chinese cash traded to the '96 Clintons' re-election campaign for our Los Alamos national nuclear weapon crown jewels, the W-88 and intercontinental missle guidance systems allowing all of our US to be accurately targetted with copies of our best weapons systems).

Without a cooperative President and Co-President, the transnational nations' leaders, cum new billionaires, will have a much more difficult time of enjoying their massive infusions of wealth, intended to buy them them personal security and world class hedonism.

But enough about the DNC-Politburo.
