<snip>
Described as a counter-cultural investor whose net worth is more than $five billion, Soros has already contributed about $10 million to the anti-Bush campaign.

<snip>
Soros, who is chairman of the Open Society Institute (OSI) which promotes multi-party democracy worldwide, thinks that Bush and his aggressive unilateral foreign policy is doing more harm than good to the United States.

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.

1. Can someone clue me in?

I hear that we spent about $7 million on turnout in 2000, although I forget the source (help!).

And now he wants to put $75 million into turnout efforts in 17 key states?! Amazing. If urban turnout is a mere 5% greater than rural turnout, our chances of winning more states go through the roof.

4. Or would he do better to invest in computer literate poll watchers?

Or wouldn't that help, either?

Exit polls?

All right, voter turnout would be nice, too.

2. Also on NOW with Bill Moyers last week

Check out the summary at

It was quite impressive. Too bad it wasn't on "Dateline" or "20/20". I think they thought Bennifer Lopez was more important this week. :boring:

3. Some not so good with the good it seems

Ironically, although his anti-Bush campaign has strong supporters in the current U.S. anti-war movement, Soros is still vilified by anti-globalization groups, who criticize him for his strong advocacy of free market economies and the global capitalist system.

Not everybody's perfect, I guess. And the $75M ACT ('Americans Coming Together') plans to spend to defeat bush is NOTHING to sneeze at.

Go George! THANKYOU!!!!!!!!! :bounce:

5. Please........

The guy is a Bildeberger and in cahootz with the Rothchilds and the Rockefellers. Groundwork has been being laid for years. Their man WILL be president, but their man hasn't announced yet. No conspiracy here, just me foilin' around.

7. I wonder if Soros...

8. I thought we just spent the last 10 years

fighting for McCain Feingold to stop billionaires from doing this? I thought the limit was now $ 2,000 to contribute. This is some huge monster loophole in the law?
