Default Media ignores Soros to help democrats

http://www.aim.org/aim_column/4270_0_3_0_C/

"Soros makes Abramoff, who spent about $5 million on political influence operations, look like a piker. Soros reportedly spent $400 million in 2004 on his network of foundations and non-profit groups. In reference to his more than $20 million campaign to defeat President Bush in 2004, the National Legal and Policy Center filed a formal Complaint with the Federal Election Commission alleging that Soros had violated the Federal Election Campaign Act by failing to report significant expenditures."

Well, it's nice to see you compliment NEM, even if it is a typo.

He is right, though, both the GOP and the Dems have hundreds of ultra-rich donors that contribute to political causes. I don't know that Soros is hiding anything.

I believe that Soros et. al. way outspent the Rs on those 529 orgs created by McCain-Fiengold. But that's beside the point. The Abe scandals will hopefully purge congress of some of the fat cat Rs who abused public trust and abused power. Once a party is dominant for a while it seems to lose its values and becomes infected with corruption. These bozos aren't cuting wasteful spending and working towards a more competitive economy, they're feathering their nests. Good riddance. I'm just worried that nobody other than Abe is gonna do time.

It's a good thing somebody's pushing progress. If you lived 200 years ago, I'd bet you would be against abolishion and letting women vote ("let's not change American values"). You guys only embrace something once it's worn out.

You can do things legally or you can do things illegally. I assure you that the FEC has several Bush appointed members, and one can be confident that they are doing there job investigating impropriety by Soros. Perhaps the difference between Democrats and Republicans is that Democrats exploit the law, while Republicans break the law.

The impropriety comes when a congressman changes his vote in response to a kickback. This is easily evidenced by Delay supporting the sweatshops in Saipan, which is counter to his established "moral" position. Abramoff is at the center of this little bribe.


Many of these people had not seen any of the world beyond their villages. Several Bangladeshi men, hired to work in security, were told and believed they could ride the train from Saipan to Los Angeles. Chinese workers who became pregnant were forced to return to China to have an abortion or else have it performed at a clinic on Saipan. Most of the immigrant workers were women, many of them mothers of small children. One could spot their arrivals in Saipan. They came off the plane and were hustled through immigration and aboard buses, their faces staring out in bewilderment and apprehension as the drivers sped through the winding back streets of the capital city. White beaches, emerald water, and resort hotels frequented by Korean and Japanese tourists were not the Saipan they saw. Their new homes were security-fenced compounds set far back in the jungle. With maybe a sheet thrown over a cord for privacy, the women slept on cots, as many as ten jammed in one small room. They had a dripping showerhead with no privacy or hot water, and a single toilet they lined up to share. Rats and ****roaches roamed freely. On the one day each week they were allowed to leave the compound, they were let out through a gate in a security fence by an armed guard. They had an early curfew, and knew better than to miss it. http://www.texasobserver.org/showArt...ArticleID=1743


Heres your "moral majority" truth moment. Step right up, righties, defend Delay as you have in the past and watch as egg begins to drip from your chin.
