Liberal 527's up and running
George Soros (who promised to move into a monastery if Bush was re-elected) seems to have a hard time keeping other promises he has publicly announced. Like that whole thing about getting big money interests out of politics. McCain-Feingold, anyone? With or without French Dijon mustard?
Yes, it is a bunch of bs, of course. Politics is power. Power also equals money. And there it is. Soros is no fool. He just likes the rest of us to think that he has altruistic philantropical motives behind funding some of the meanest PAC's out there - MoveON for one.
Now he's bringing together the Phoenix Group - to get big money industrialists into funding liberal 527's and to create a new information network, on an old Fox News mindset.
It's sad when the liberals don't see the irony. Soros - the man who became even more wealthy when he speculated on derivatives and currencies in the 80ies (and brought down the Thai bath, the Spanish peseta, and the Swedish krona, to name a few) is the one who is financing people in liberal PAC's who think that we should put an end to greed in the world by getting Republicans out of office. It's hilarious!
