George Soros did not donate one penny to Obama's 2008 presidential campaign, although he did donate a whopping $2,100 to Obama For America in early 2007, and the FACTS are here: http://www.campaignmoney.com/biography/george_soros.asp

- I thought so too until I read the New York Times article. NYT is making the administration look bad so they're walking the statement back CBS or didn't you get the memo from Friday.

- What people have failed to connect to is the fact that big money power brokers truly saw the potential of how Obama`s crowd out raised the contributions of the big dollar power brokers with contributions from ordinary people in the 2008 presidential election. This was a truly ominous sign for them. They were terrified at the threat that ordinary people might actually gain control of the electoral process. They swiftly went to a friendly court to gain a decision that effectively nullified the threat to their control. Unlimited cotributions from contributors who remain anonymous. Orwellian! Excuse me. I forgot they have the right to anonymity.

- Let's make BOTH parties ante up !! The benefit is to the voters to know where the money comes from.

- Cons believe that American citizens should prove that Republicans are taking foreign money before they have a right to get the information needed to prove it. It makes perfect sense if you just don't think about it.

- Liberal Greek billionaire George Soros donates a ton of cash to Obama's presidential campaign. Then in 09 Obama finances a deep water drilling project for Petrobas which is Brazilian oil company. Yes the same Obama who lost Americans jobs because of his moritorium on deep drilling. Now guess who the biggest shareholder in Petrobas is? Yep, George Soros. So before you Obama lovers start bashing Rove and the Republicans, educate yourself to the thief you blindly follow and here is the proof! http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203863204574346610120524166.html

- So, you think it's okay for foreign money to influence our elections here because you believe Obama has taken foreign money?
- Hey uninformed larry, the fox political network parrot, George Soros is a Hungarian-American currency speculator, stock investor, businessman, philanthropist, and liberal political activist, and is known for donating large sums of money in an effort to defeat george bush's bid for re-election in 2004. He said he would sacrifice his entire fortune to defeat president bush, "if someone guaranteed it." Just because glenn beck told you that soros donated "a ton of cssh to Obama's presidential campaign," certainly doesn't make it true -- just more fox political network propaganda that you cannot prove!
- Did Dan Rather come back for another last minute story that is unfounded??

- by SoCalSuperSage October 11, 2010 5:38 PM EDT------"I wrote a big check to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce today.." ############################################################################ Sure you did, but breaking your piggy bank and cashing-in all those pennies hardly is someone else's thought of a "big check." Besides, why not just write another $5.69 check directly to KKKarl rove's 'crossroads' PAC, because your "big check" probably got lost with the multi-millions being funneled into the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's political arm.

- Lies are told on TV and in print and sponsored by some simple named organization with no address and and no listed donors. Where do the millions come from?? Why the BIG secret? Why insist on secrecy? Who are these people lurking in the shadows? What is their agenda for America?? Corporations were not the "inalienable" right of free speech by their Creators. corporations are created, not by God, but by States like Delaware and New York. They have no more "right' to free speech in politics a Turnpike Authority. Something has gone badly wrong here. Blame it on Bush!

- On 'Face the Nation' yesterday morning, host Bob Schieffer grilled both White House advisor David Axelrod and GOP strategist Ed Gillespie on the millions of dollars being secretly funneled by Wall Street and the oil industry to defeat Democratic candidates this November, and particularly the role of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Gillespie, along with Karl Rove, is the mastermind behind American Crossroads, a group tied to the Chamber which also funnels corporate money into attack ads. The Chamber solicits funds from foreign corporations -- including state-owned oil companies -- that go into the same general account that funds their $75 million electioneering campaign. There is no outside oversight of the Chamber's money flow.
