1. Why is the RW making such a big deal out of Soros?

Perhaps we could smear their sugar daddies. People like Sun Myung Moon, Rich DeVos (Amway founder) and Ken Lay.

Do they really want to go there?

2. Republicans can never utter this rhetorical question again...

IS THIS THE PARTY THAT HAS AMERICA'S BEST INTEREST AT HEART??

After all the Monica Lewinsky crap, we know full well that Republicans care more about Republicans than America. A censure and a "move on" was all that was ever needed.

3. Here's an interesting article about him . . . I like the last couple lines

4. Without even looking up stats

I know number one and two are lies. He may be an athiest (I don't even know for sure) and he may want to defeat Bush in November but not because he's a Christian....because he's an *extremist* Christian. There is a difference whether Republicans realize it or not. I have read just about everything Soros has said and Soros believes in the separation of church and state, just as I do. (And I'm a Christian.) Unfortunately Bush and his crew do not. This is very, very dangerous and the Taliban is a perfect example of what can happen when church and state mix. It's just like the right wing to simplify everything someone says. If you're against the mixing of church and state, you must be anti-religion. It's just like the "You're either with us or against us." phenomena.

5. Umm...so what?

I don't see a problem with any of it.

Except for #10, which I guarantee without even fact-checking was what Soros would've said about Bush, NOT about himself.

6. How hard would it have been to clean up that text before posting?

If you want us to read it, take two minutes to clean it up, take out the >>>> marks, and tighten up the lines.

Be considerate?

8. you're right

just stood in line at DMV for 2 hours...and too frustrated. Apologies..personal problem! (have to go back again....does anyone ever get through in just one trip)

7. The republican party is funded by the most corrupt people in the world.

Ken Lay and Enron have contributed more money to Bu$h's campaigns than anyone else.

George Soros is a renowned philanthropist and promoter of democracy.

Ken Lay is on trial for ripping off thousands of innocent Americans, and helping cause a national financial disaster.
