It's not that they can't afford IDs, the libs claim it's based on "racial discrimination". If we require picture IDs to v**e, the margin of fraud and illegal v**es would go down. Dems need that margin large enough to win e******ns.

JeffreyLowrie

No, wrong again! The majority of the news media is is owned by billionaires like the Koch brothers and or people who stand to lose big money if they get taxed as they should be . THAT is the reason for all the disinformation put out there by news channels like Faux News and Faux and Friends gets aired. If it's said over and over again eventually it starts to take hold, especially when there's little to no education involved. Typical brainwashing tactic used for years by by cultist .

Oh my God here we go again. Just what do the Koch brothers own?

kvdon

Both of you off your meds again, this massive v***r f***d like the other nonsense you peddle, doesn't exist, its all your paranoia showing. And we all know who the "they" is, you guys don't get it that you come off as old crazy bigoted white men, do you? This self reinforced bubble, with the usual cast of characters saying oh yea and other craziness about the NUA and Bush being a closet Democrat, yes you Carolyn, isn't good for you and certainly doesn't convince anyone who does read outside the bubble but may be bored or curious enough to read the drivel you spout. Get a different hobby, read something from other than your whacko conspiracy sites.

When Dubya is too liberal for you you've passed the point of no return. As a great article i attach says you have to learn to stop saying how much you love this country (as it actually exists and has for 50 years) while acting and speaking like you h**e it.

Carolyn, for 50 years I've done all you suggest. That's why I am so mad today .................... millions of v**ers don't know how to tie their shoe laces, don't know a single thing about government, about issues or any other thing except what they can get out of each politician, and these i***ts cancel my informed v**e.

Obama a crook? Of course he is. But, bad as that is, it is the least of his crimes. His "fundamentally changing the nation" is his biggest crime because 1) we don't WANT fundamental change - most of his v**ers didn't even know the meaning of the word, loved him for announcing it, 2) he is taking the nation to 3rd world status, 3) is bankrupting the nation, 4) sees himself as a dictator, 5) he has no conscience, and 6) will see to it that we join the One World Order so that we lose our sovereignty. There is NOTHING good about this alien, NOTHING.

If you'd take the time to check it out and see what the Koch brothers own , you'd find out they own roughly 1500 media networks of various types;TV, radio, news papers, magazines, etc, etc. .. Haven't any of you wondered why there's such a BIG donor base that's millionaires and billionaires not to mention corporate heads? Their worried about the possibility of tax hikes under Obama. Why is beyond me since today's taxes are the second lowest in 40 years. The last biggest cut (70% to 25%)under Reagan simply made it easier to send all our jobs overseas and THAT in turn gave them easy access to offshore banks and their taxable income that can't be taxed now unless it's forced out of them like mafia money.

JeffreyLowrie

Wake Freakin up people! If it it isn't about right or wrong it's ALL about money! Iwas a Republican for 42 years then Arlan Specter left them after 35 years. I wondered why, so started checking and also found that the majority of my fellow republicans were on the take, greedy corporate sycophants. So I switched. Can't deal with a corporatocracy and the Lord CEO.

If you want ME to pay attention to the drivel about the Koch brothers, then you'd better mention a few of the multibillionaires who donate to the democrat party. Otherwise, I will assume you are whistling Dixie and don't even know the tune.

carolyn

You are so right. It's a pity there are so many people gullible enough to believe their lies, lies and more lies, isn't it? :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbu

carolyn

This is the funniest thing I have seen printed since Blondie and Dagwood hit the newspapers. V***r f***d doesn't exist? How deep have you had your head buried in the sand? There are many documented cases of v***r f***d that was never addressed because "there wasn't time" to investigate thoroughly. One outstanding case is when Reid's son was found to be checking his dad's name in all the absentee b****ts in Nevada, and the powers to be never even declared him a criminal for doing so. But they sure impeached Richard Nixon for what he did, did they not?

I think it very odd that the lady that was running against Reid was leading him by a healthy margin, but lost to him at the polls.

JeffreyLowrie

Naw YOU tell me who those Billionaires are ! The Koch brothers (that's 2) who also have several SUPER pacs ,fellow billionires, that run them .COME ON give me one name ! There just isn't too many that would be willing to back the Dems for fear of losing their precious money to taxes with the exception of MAYBE ,Bill Gates and Warren Buffet who already give most or a lot to charity,unlike those that throw massive amounts to the republican candidates .What happened to the Koch brothers when they thought the teabaggers were gonna shut down the government? They backed off ,they didn't WANT to lose all that money,again wake up it ain't about right or wrong it's about big business and who gets the money! The Dems are way more for the people than the Repubs,Repubs have ALWAYS been behind business from the start.

jay-are

Is it OK with you , Jeffrey, if we are against all buying of legislators? Nobody should be allowed to pay off government officials to influence them to put favors into law. We can't pick the ones that favor us, and support them because they favor us more than the other guys do. That solution doesn't solve anything.

Also, I will name George Sorros, as a billionaire supporter of democrats, along with the ones you mentioned, Bill Gates, and Warren Buffet. So singling out the Koch brothers, doesn't exonerate the corrupt democrats.

Here's some information I'm sure you don't know about the Democrat Party:

George Soros is one of the most powerful men on earth. A New York hedge fund manager, he has amassed a personal fortune estimated at about $13 billion (as of 2009). His company, Soros Fund Management, controls at least another $25 billion in investor assets. Since 1979, Soros's foundation network -- whose f**gship is the Open Society Institute (OSI) -- has dispensed more than $5 billion to a multitude of organizations whose objectives are consistent with those of Soros. With assets of $1.93 billion as of 2008, OSI alone donates scores of millions of dollars annually to these various groups. Following is a sampling of the major agendas advanced by groups that Soros and OSI support financially. Listed under each category heading are a few OSI donees fitting that description.

Organizations that depict America as a nation whose enduring r****m must be counterbalanced by racial and ethnic preferences in favor of nonw****s:

The Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fundcalls itself “the nation’s leading Latino legal civil rights organization.”
The Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law provides “legal services to address racial discrimination.”
The NAACP and its Legal Defense and Educational Fund uses “litigation, advocacy, and public education” to promote “structural changes” and “achieve racial justice in the United States”
The National Council of La Raza charges that “discrimination severely limits the economic and social opportunities available to Hispanic Americans.”

Organizations that specifically portray the American criminal-justice system as r****t and inequitable:

The Sentencing Project asserts that prison-sentencing patterns
discriminate against nonw****s, and seeks “to reduce the reliance on incarceration.”
Critical Resistance contends that crime stems from “ine******y and powerlessness,” which can be rectified through wholesale redistribution of wealth.
The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights charges that criminal laws “are enforced in a manner that is massively and pervasively biased.”

Organizations that call for massive social change, and for the recruitment and training of activist leaders to help foment that change:

The Center for Community Change is “dedicated to finding the [progressive] stars of tomorrow and preparing them to lead.”
The Gamaliel Foundation teaches social-change “techniques and methodologies.”
The Ruckus Society promotes “nonviolent direct action against unjust institutions and policies.”
The American Institute for Social Justice aims to “t***sform poor communities” by agitating for increased government spending on social-welfare programs.
The Institute for America's Future “regularly convenes and educates progressive leaders, organizations, candidates, opinion makers, and activists.”
People for the American Way, founded by television producer Norman Lear to oppose the allegedly growing influence of the “religious right,” seeks “to cultivate new generations of leaders and activists” who will promote “progressive values.”
Democracy For America operates an academy that has taught more than 10,000 recruits nationwide how to “focus, network, and train grassroots activists in the sk**ls and strategies to take back our country.”
The Midwest Academy trains radical activists in the tactics of direct action, confrontation, and intimidation. Author Stanley Kurtz has described this academy as a “crypto-socialist organization” that was “arguably the most influential force in community organizing from the seventies through the nineties.”

Organizations that disparage capitalism while promoting a dramatic expansion of social-welfare programs funded by ever-escalating taxes:

The Center for Economic and Policy Research asserts that “the welfare state has softened the impact” of “the worst excesses and irrationalities of a market system” and its “injustices.”
The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities advocates greater tax expenditures on such assistance programs as Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Program, food stamps, and low-income housing initiatives.
The Economic Policy Institute believes that “government must play an active role in protecting the economically vulnerable, ensuring equal opportunity, and improving the well-being of all Americans.”
The Ella Baker Center for Human Rights was founded by the revolutionary c*******t Van Jones. This anti-poverty organization claims that “decades of disinvestment in our cities,” coupled with America's allegedly imperishable r****m, have “led to despair and homelessness.”
The Emma Lazarus Fund: In 1996 George Soros said he was “appalled” by the recently signed welfare-reform law that empowered states to limit legal immigrants' access to public assistance. In response to this “mean-spirited attack on immigrants,” he launched an Open Society Institute project known as the Emma Lazarus Fund and endowed it with $50 million.
Organizations that support socialized medicine in the United States:

Health Care for America Now (HCAN) is a vast network of organizations supporting, ideally, a “single-payer” model where the federal government would be in charge of financing and administering the entire U.S. healthcare system. During the political debate over “Obamacare” in 2009 and 2010, HCAN’s strategy was to try to achieve such a system incrementally, first by implementing a “public option”—i.e., a government insurance agency to “compete” with private insurers, so that Americans would be “no longer at the mercy of the private insurance industry.” Because such an agency would not need to show a profit in order to remain in business, and because it could tax and regulate its private competitors in wh**ever fashion it pleased, this “public option” would inevitably force private insurers out of the industry. In August 2009, Soros pledged to give HCAN $5 million to promote its campaign for reform.

Organizations that strive to move American politics to the left by promoting the e******n of progressive political candidates:

Project V**e is the v**er-mobilization arm of the notoriously corrupt ACORN, whose v**er-registration drives and get-out-the-v**e initiatives have been marred by massive levels of fraud and corruption.
Catalist seeks “to help progressive organizations realize … e*******l success by building and operating a robust national v**er database.”
The Brennan Center for Justice aims to “fully restore v****g rights following criminal conviction”--significant because research shows that ex-felons are far likelier to v**e for Democratic political candidates than for Republicans.
The Progressive States Network seeks to “pass progressive legislation in all fifty states by providing coordinated research and strategic advocacy tools to forward-thinking state legislators.”
The Progressive Change Campaign Committee, to which George Soros personally donated $8,000 in 2010, works “to elect bold progressive candidates to federal office … more often.”

Organizations that promote l*****t ideals and worldviews in the media and the arts:

The American Prospect, Inc. is the owner and publisher of The American Prospect magazine, which tries to “counteract the growing influence of conservative media.”
Free Press is a “media reform” organization co-founded by Robert McChesney, who calls for “a revolutionary program to o*******w the capitalist system” and to “rebuil[d] the entire society on socialist principles.”
The Independent Media Institute aims to “change the world” via projects like AlterNet, an online news magazine calling itself “a key player in the echo chamber of progressive ideas and vision.”
The Nation Institute operates synergistically with the far-left Nation magazine, which works “to extend the reach of progressive ideas” into the American mainstream.
The Pacifica Foundation owns and operates Pacifica Radio, awash from its birth with the socialist-Marxist rhetoric of class warfare and anti-capitalism.
Media Matters For America: For a number of years, the Open Society Institute gave indirect funding--filtering its grants first through other Soros-backed operations--to this “progressive research and information center” which “monitor[s]” and “correct[s] conservative misinformation in the U.S. media.” In October 2010, Soros announced that he would soon donate $1 million directly to Media Matters.

Sundance Institute: In 1996, Soros launched his Soros Documentary Fund to produce “social justice” films that would “spur awareness, action and social change.” In 2001, this Fund became part of actor-director Robert Redford’s Sundance Institute. Between 1996 and 2008, OSI earmarked at least $5.2 million for the production of several hundred documentaries, many of which were highly critical of capitalism, American society, or Western culture generally. In 2009, Soros pledged another $5 million to the Sundance Institute.

Organizations that seek to inject the American judicial system with l*****t values:

The Alliance for Justice consistently depicts Republican judicial nominees as “radical right-wing[ers]” and “extremists” whose views range far outside the boundaries of mainstream public opinion.
The American Constitution Society for Law and Policy seeks to indoctrinate young law students to view the Constitution as an evolving or “living” document, and to reject “conservative buzzwords such as 'originalism' and 'strict construction.'”
Justice at Stake promotes legislation that would replace judicial e******ns with a “merit-se******n” system where a small committee of legal elites, unaccountable to the public, would pick those most “qualified” to serve as judges. OSI has spent at least $45.4 million on efforts to change the way judges are chosen in many American states.

Organizations that advance l*****t agendas by infiltrating churches and religious congregations:

Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good advocates a brand of “social justice” that would counteract the “greed, materialism, and excessive individualism” that are allegedly inherent in capitalism.
Sojourners characterizes wealth redistribution as the fulfillment of a biblical mandate. Jim Wallis, the founder of this evangelical Christian ministry, has expressed his hope that “more Christians will come to view the world through Marxist eyes.”
People Improving Communities through Organizing uses “people of faith” as foot soldiers in its crusade for the “t***sformation” of “people, institutions, and … our larger culture.”
Catholics for Choice--formerly known as Catholics for a Free Choice--is a nominally Catholic organization that “believes in a world where everyone has equal access to … safe and legal a******n services.”

Think tanks that promote l*****t policies:

The Institute for Policy Studies has long supported C*******t and anti-American causes around the world. It seeks to provide a corrective to the “unrestrained greed” of “markets and individualism.”
The New America Foundation tries to influence public opinion on such topics as healthcare, environmentalism, energy policy, and global governance.
The Urban Institute favors socialized medicine, expansion of the federal welfare bureaucracy, and tax hikes for higher income-earners.

Organizations that promote open borders, mass immigration, a watering down of current i*********n l*ws, increased rights and benefits for i*****l a***ns, and ultimately amnesty:

The American Immigration Council--formerly known as the the American I*********n L*w Foundation--supports “birthright citizenship” for children born to i*****l i*******ts in the U.S.
Casa de Maryland periodically sponsors “know your rights” training sessions to teach i******s how to evade punishment in the event that they are apprehended in an immigration raid.
The Immigrant Legal Resource Center belongs to the sanctuary movement that tries to shield i*****l a***ns from the law.
The Migration Policy Institute advocates a more permissive U.S. refugee admissions and resettlement policy, as well as more social-welfare benefits for i******s residing in the U.S.
LatinoJustice PRLDF is a legal advocacy group that “protects opportunities for all Latinos … especially the most vulnerable--new immigrants and the poor.”
The Immigration Policy Center states that “[r]equiring the 10-11 million unauthorized immigrants residing in the U.S. to register with the government and meet eligibility criteria in order to gain legal status is a key element of comprehensive immigration reform.”
The National Immigration Forum opposes the enhancement of the U.S. Border Patrol and the construction of a border fence to prevent i*****l i*********n.
The National I*********n L*w Center works to help low-income immigrants gain access to government-funded welfare programs on the same basis as legal American citizens.

Organizations that defend suspected anti-American terrorists and their abetters:

The Constitution Project has supported such notorious figures as Salim Ahmed Hamdan (Osama bin Laden's bodyguard and chauffeur) and Jose Padilla (an American Islamic convert and terrorist plotter). Moreover, the Project contends that it is illegal for the U.S. government to detain terror suspects if the evidence against them was obtained through “torture.”
The Lynne Stewart Defense Committee was established to support Lynne Stewart, who is a criminal-defense attorney and an America-hating Maoist. Stewart was convicted of illegally helping her incarcerated client, the “blind sheik” Omar Abdel Rahman, pass messages to an Egypt-based Islamic terrorist organization. In September 2002, the Open Society Institute gave $20,000 to this committee; OSI vice president Gara LaMarche characterized Ms. Stewart as a “human rights defender.”

Organizations that depict virtually all American military actions as unwarranted and immoral:

Amnesty International: In 2005, this group's then-executive director William Schulz alleged that the United States had become “a leading purveyor and practitioner” of torture. Irene Khan, who charged that the Guantanamo Bay detention center, where the U.S. was housing several hundred captured terror suspects, “has become the gulag of our time.” Schulz’s remarks were echoed by Amnesty's then-secretary general
Global Exchange was founded by Medea Benjamin, a pro-Castro radical who helped establish a project known as Iraq Occupation Watch for the purpose of encouraging widespread desertion by “conscientious objectors” in the U.S. military. In December 2004, Benjamin announced that Global Exchange would be sending aid to the families of terrorist insurgents who were fighting American troops in Iraq.

Organizations that advocate America’s unilateral disarmament and/or a steep reduction in its military spending:

The American Friends Service Committee, which views America as the world's chief source of international strife, has long had a friendly relationship with the C*******t Party USA. Lamenting that “the United States spends 59% of the discretionary federal budget on military-related expenses,” the Committee seeks to “realig[n] national spending priorities and to increase the portion of the budget that is spent on housing, quality education for all, medical care, and fair wages.” In 2000, George Soros himself was a signatory to a letter titled “Appeal for Responsible Security” that appeared in The New York Times. The letter called upon the U.S. government “to commit itself unequivocally to negotiate the worldwide reduction and elimination of nuclear weapons,” and to participate in “the global de-alerting of nuclear weapons and deep reduction of nuclear stockpiles.”

Organizations that promote radical environmentalism:

Groups in this category typically oppose mining and logging initiatives, commercial fishing enterprises, development and construction in wilderness areas, the use of coal, the use of pesticides, and oil and gas exploration in “environmentally sensitive” locations. Moreover, they claim that human industrial activity leads to excessive carbon-dioxide emissions which, in turn, cause a potentially cataclysmic phenomenon called “g****l w*****g.” Examples of such Soros donees include Earthjustice, Green For All, the Natural Resources Defense Council, the Alliance for Climate Protection, Friends of the Earth, and the Earth Island Institute.

Another major recipient of Soros money is the Tides Foundation, which receives cash from all manner of donors--individuals, groups, and other foundations--and then funnels it to designated left-wing recipients. Having given more than $400 million to “progressive nonprofit organizations” since 2000, Organizations that oppose the death penalty in all circumstances:

In 2000, George Soros co-signed a letter to President Bill Clinton asking for a moratorium on the death penalty, on grounds that it tended to be implemented disproportionately against black and Hispanic offenders.

Consistent with the billionaire's opposition to capital punishment, his Open Society Institute has given millions of dollars to anti-death penalty organizations such as New Yorkers Against the Death Penalty, Witness to Innocence, Equal Justice USA, the Death Penalty Information Center, People of Faith against the Death Penalty, and the Fair Trial Initiative.

Organizations that promote modern-day feminism's core tenet--that America is fundamentally a sexist society where discrimination and violence against women have reached epidemic proportions:

The Feminist Majority Foundation “focus[es] on advancing the legal, social and political e******y of women with men, countering the backlash to women's advancement, and recruiting and training young feminists...”
The Ms. Foundation for Women laments that although “women are more than half the [U.S.] population … they don’t have equal opportunity, voice or power.”
The National Partnership for Women and Families asserts that “women today are still paid only $0.77 to a man’s dollar”--an assertion that is grossly misleading and substantively untrue.

Organizations that promote not only women's right to taxpayer-funded a******n on demand, but also political candidates who take that same position:

Soros donees in this category include the Center for Reproductive Rights, NARAL Pro-Choice America, the National A******n Federation, Planned Parenthood, and Choice USA.


Organizations that favor global government which would bring American foreign policy under the control of the United Nations or other international bodies:

According to George Soros, “[W]e need some global system of political decision-making. In short, we need a global society to support our global economy.” Consistent with this perspective, the Open Society Institute in 2008 gave $150,000 to the United Nations Foundation, which “works to broaden support for the UN through advocacy and public outreach.” Moreover, OSI is considered a “major” funder of the Coalition for an International Criminal Court, which aims to subordinate American criminal-justice procedures in certain cases to an international prosecutor who could initiate capricious or politically motivated prosecutions of U.S. officials and military officers.
Organizations that have pressured mortgage lenders to make loans to undercapitalized borrowers, a practice that helped spark the subprime mortgage crisis and housing-market collapse of 2008:

The Greenlining Institute--by threatening to publicly accuse banks of racially discriminatory lending practices--has successfully negotiated loan commitments of more than $2.4 trillion from America's financial institutions.
The Center for Responsible Lending, according to Americans for Prosperity vice president Phil Kerpen, has “shak[en] down and harass[ed] banks into making bad loans to unqualified borrowers.”

The Open Society Institute is not the only vehicle by which George Soros works to reshape America's political landscape. Indeed, Soros was the prime mover in the creation of the so-called "Shadow Democratic Party," or "Shadow Party," in 2003. This term refers to a nationwide network of labor unions, non-profit activist groups, and think tanks whose agendas are ideologically to the left, and which are engaged in campaigning for the Democrats. This network's activities include fundraising, get-out-the-v**e drives, political advertising, opposition research, and media manipulation.

The Shadow Party was conceived and organized principally by George Soros, Hillary Clinton and Harold McEwan Ickes -- all identified with the Democratic Party left. Other key players included:

Morton H. Halperin: Director of Soros' Open Society Institute
John Podesta: Democrat strategist and former chief of staff for Bill Clinton
Jeremy Rosner: Democrat strategist and pollster, ex-foreign policy speechwriter for Bill Clinton
Robert Boorstin: Democrat strategist and pollster, ex-national security speechwriter for Bill Clinton
Carl Pope: Co-founder of America Coming Together, Democrat strategist, and Sierra Club Executive Director
Steve Rosenthal: Labor leader, CEO of America Coming Together, and former chief advisor on union matters to Clinton Labor Secretary Robert Reich
Peter Lewis: Major Democrat donor and insurance entrepreneur
Rob Glaser: Major Democrat donor and Silicon Valley pioneer
Ellen Malcolm: Co-founder and President of America Coming Together, and founder of EMILY’s List
Rob McKay: Major Democrat donor, Taco Bell heir, and McKay Family Foundation President
Lewis and Dorothy Cullman: Major Democrat donors

To develop the Shadow Party as a cohesive entity, Harold Ickes undertook the task of building a 21st-century version of the Left's traditional alliance of the "oppressed" and "disenfranchised." By the time Ickes was done, he had created or helped to create six new groups, and had co-opted a seventh called MoveOn.org. Together, these seven groups constituted the administrative core of the newly formed Shadow Party:

America Coming Together
America V**es
Center for American Progress
Joint Victory Campaign 2004
Media Fund
MoveOn.org
Thunder Road Group

These organizations, along with the many l*****t groups with which they collaborate, have played a major role in helping Soros advance his political and social agendas.

According to Richard Poe, co-author (with David Horowitz) of the 2006 book The Shadow Party:

"The Shadow Party is the real power driving the Democrat machine. It is a network of radicals dedicated to t***sforming our constitutional republic into a socialist hive. The leader of these radicals is ... George Soros. He has essentially privatized the Democratic Party, bringing it under his personal control. The Shadow Party is the instrument through which he exerts that control.... It works by siphoning off hundreds of millions of dollars in campaign contributions that would have gone to the Democratic Party in normal times, and putting those contributions at the personal disposal of Mr. Soros. He then uses that money to buy influence and loyalty where he sees fit. In 2003, Soros set up a network of privately-owned groups which acts as a shadow or mirror image of the Party. It performs all the functions we would normally expect the real Democratic Party to perform, such as shaping the Party platform, fielding candidates, running campaigns, and so forth. However, it performs these functions under the private supervision of Mr. Soros and his associates. The Shadow Party derives its power from its ability to raise huge sums of money. By controlling the Democrat purse strings, the Shadow Party can make or break any Democrat candidate by deciding whether or not to fund him. During the 2004 e******n cycle, the Shadow Party raised more than $300 million for Democrat candidates, prompting one of its operatives, MoveOn PAC director Eli Pariser, to declare, 'Now it’s our party. We bought it, we own it…'"
