I don’t remember a more corrupt Congress in my entire lifetime. And that’s on both sides of the aisle.

I’m not sure if there’s a single honest, selfless, decent person in either house of Congress. It takes a lot of selling out to get one of those lofty seats. And most, once they’ve got it, will do anything to keep it.

And perhaps no group has sold out more than the Democratic party has sold itself to MoveOn.org and George Soros.

Never before have I witnessed a special interest group say jump only to watch such an immediate response from the Democrats who are in their pocket.

This post at Investor’s Business Daily: The Soros Threat To Democracy, has another angle about the problem (beyond buying Senators and Congressman who are too afraid to go against Soros to stand up for decency and integrity) of Soros’ brand of influence:

Democracy: George Soros is known for funding groups such as MoveOn.org that seek to manipulate public opinion. So why is the billionaire’s backing of what he believes in problematic? In a word: transparency.

Clayton Cramer agrees:

One of the big issues for good government reformer sorts has always been transparency: that you should be able to see who is funding what political groups. This isn’t enough to make a system honest and fair, but at least if someone is using obscene wealth to manipulate the system, you should at least be able to see it, even if you can’t prevent it.

  1. The IBD piece is good.
    So is this one from 2004, The Hidden Soros Agenda: Drugs, Money, the Media, and Political Power.

    Soros may be the biggest political fat cat of all time. Convicted in France of insider trading, Soros specializes in weakening or collapsing the currencies of entire nations for his own selfish interests. He is known as the man who broke the Bank of England. His power is such that his statements alone can cause currencies to go up or down. Other people suffer so he can get rich. But journalists don’t want to examine the questionable means by which he achieved his wealth because they share his goal of electing Kerry and the Democrats. Curiously, once he made his fortune he became a global socialist, endorsing global taxes on the very means he employed to get rich international currency speculation and manipulation.

    His ACT group was just fined recently $700,000 for making illegal contributions to John Effing Kerry and the donk party. As well as ACORN, for illegal voter registrations.

    Here is a partial list of the groups funded by Soros the Pimp:
    Moveon.org
    America Coming Together
    Center for American Progress(*Clinton White House In Waiting*)
    Open Society Institute
    Tides Foundation
    HELP Network
    SAFE Colorado
    Campaign For A Progressive Future
    Million Mom March
    Collaborative for Gun Violence Prevention
    Media Matters
    American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee Research Institute
    La Raza
    Drug Policy Alliance
    ACORN

  2. As most on this blog know, I have no love for MoveOn.Org and George Soros and thankfully they have exposed themselves to the rest of the country in recent weeks for what they really are. Anybody who hooks up with this organization doesn’t give a damn about democracy. They are the one world cult that is bent on destroying it.

  3. Diane, I fully agree… makes you wonder how the tin foil people can justify this… I know… BDS! Sad…

    I think we carry free speech to extremes and that’s why we have anti-Americans like Soros able to spread his lies and filth! I will not vote for ANYONE who can be linked to him and the other crazies.

  4. HEE-HEE!
    It was a very bad week for Soros and his fellow travelers.
