'Open Society' Advocate George Soros Funds Plan To Block Bush
A long-time pro-democracy advocate and a sometimes currency speculator, Soros is openly backing a non-governmental initiative called 'Americans Coming Together' (ACT) aimed at stopping Bush in his bid for a second term as president of the United States

Soros has also been gunning for Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe, Libya's Muammar el-Qaddafi, Burma's Gen Than Shwe and Turkmenistan's president-for-life Saparmurat Niyazov. A long-time pro-democracy advocate and a sometimes currency speculator, Soros is openly backing a non-governmental initiative called 'Americans Coming Together' (ACT) aimed at stopping Bush in his bid for a second term as president of the United States. ACT is planning to spend about $75 million to mobilize U.S. voters to defeat Bush in the next presidential elections in November 2004

He also believes the president has neither the intellectual capacity nor the political prowess to guide the United States on a sound foreign policy course. Bush's policies are bound to be wrong ''because they are based on a false ideology'', he told students last month in a commencement address at the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies in Washington. He sees striking similarities between the U.S. president and Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon (news - web sites), both of whom believe in military power to achieve their political objectives. The idea that might is right, advocated by both leaders, cannot be reconciled with the idea of an open society, Soros told the students...........

1. Thank you George Soros!
He can reach people that others cannot. We all are needed to do our part to rid our country of these fascists (or extremists, as Soros called them on NOW...in an interview which also talked about Soros' early life in a family which had to deal with European fascism.

George also thinks that marijuana should be legalized.

He's a thoughtful, rational man and I wish America's news media would also give him talking head time like they give so many who are merely parrots for this regime.
