This is exactly why people need to realize that Romney MUST be stopped. He would be the ultimate puppet of the corporations. So all of the idiots talking about President Obama not being a friend to business owners are in for a BIG surprise if Romney does (by some remote chance) win.

So get off of your behinds people. Romney is NOT the solution. We should not cut off our nose to spite our face.

Soros is ONE PERSON. That list contains the names of 26 BILLIONAIRES and the amounts they have given.

How much money has Soros given to "buy the election"?

Jim Walton is only one person also and Soros has gave far more than Walton's 300k.

Billionaire George Soros will soon make his first major contributions in the 2012 election cycle with donations of $1 million each to two independent groups backing President Obama's re-election bid: America Votes and American Bridge 21st Century.

In keeping with your MO, "remove Obama from the White House..."

I love the left's obsession with Koch.

They are good people.

Your honor, irrelevant and I move to strike this. The discussion was not who gave the most. It's why wasn't Soros included?

Oprah pretty much got Obama through the dem primaries and into the white house. Why are you dismissing a powerful rich black woman?

You added amounts in re Walton. Thread is about the names and amounts of money given by billionaires to "buy the election."

Overruled.

What a hypocrite...

Here are the sources of Bernie Sander's quarter million dollar haul of PAC money for this election cycle: Bernie Sanders: Campaign Finance/Money - PAC Data - Senator 2012 | OpenSecrets

Either PACs are good, or they aren't, but don't gobble as much as you can while pointing a finger at others who do it better.
