Here comes Big George again. Billionaire George Soros is weighing in heavily with more cash, delivering $2.5 million to a new political organization called Fund for America.

According to a year-end campaign report filed with the Internal Revenue Service and uncovered by The Times' Dan Morain, Fund for America was organized by Taco Bell heir Rob McKay, former Clinton White House Chief of Staff John Podesta and Anna Burger of the Service Employees International Union. The SEIU matched Soros with another $2.5 million, too. Other major donors include investor Donald Sussman, who has given $1 million and AKT Development of Sacramento.

Are Americans so easily bought?

I don't think so!

Blofeld does this every election. It's his money and he can use it as he wishes.

This isn't a rumor or news. It is simply a long known fact.

Soros would have more money than brains if he was FLAT BROKE. Having money or the ability to make money does NOT mean you have good sense or good judgement.

:
WAIT a minute, look what the London Times reports (why not in US press?):

"Mrs. McCain is a former Arizona rodeo beauty queen and daughter of a millionaire Phoenix businessman, Cindy McCain was 25 when she met her future husband at a cocktail party in Hawaii. John McCain was a 43-year-old naval liaison officer travelling with a congressional delegation, his sights already set on a political career.

He was also still married to his first wife Carol, although the couple had recently separated. Carol later attributed the breakdown of the marriage to "John turning 40 and wanting to be 25 again". McCain fell like a brick for Cindy, who was the heir to a brewery distribution business worth millions. For several years afterwards the McCains endured Washington gossip that he had dumped his first wife - who had been crippled in a car accident - in favour of a trophy bride to enhance his political ambitions.

It was in the late 1980s, after a series of miscarriages and giving birth to three children, that Cindy developed spinal problems and was prescribed painkillers after surgery. Her husband and family had no idea she was secretly taking pills stolen from a charity she had created called the American Voluntary Medical Team, which sent mobile surgical units to war zones. When federal agents began to investigate gaps in the charity"s records, Cindy telephoned her husband, a senator in Washington, and confessed."

It's the evil George Soros using his money to destroy America. Just ask the virtuous Bill o'liley. Nothing like the virtuous Richard Mellon Scaife and numerous other virtuous funders on the right.

This is a troll bait story. Let the fun begin.
