So, Soros is going to commit $2 million of his own money and hopefully persuade his fellow travelers to come up with $100 million? And, that's a threat to our democracy?
Karl Rove has ALREADY gotten nearly $400 million from his corporate buddies on K Street just for Crossroads America alone and the total take for "conservative" Super-Pac's is approaching a BILLION DOLLARS.
But, that's not something to worry about is it?
Some kind of link with this info would be nice. Do you have one?
You do understand, I hope, that a vote for a third party candidate who has no chance of winning, or no vote at all, is a vote for Romney?
The "true believers" on both sides will not carry this election for either candidate. It will take the undecided's, those in the middle, to do that and your plan helps Romney the most because he's the one working against the natural advantage an incumbent has.
There are times in the history of this country when people have to come down on on side or the other, when fence-straddling won't cut it. This is one of those times.
The issue is clear and the choice stark: A form of socialism wherein The People still retain their power to change course over time if they want, or a corporate oligarchy where The People only have control over local issues with national and international issues being decided by unelected and unaccountable corporate "stakeholders."
Which world do you want your children, grand-children and great-grandkids to grow up in?
I see that old Spooky Dude isn't the only one very worried right now. Does it feel good to be so worried about corporations controlling things?
I'm sure he thinks Obama can do even more damage to the American way of life with a second term.
$100 Million for Grassroots Efforts defined as for Government Union Workers and to pay for signing up people who are not supposed to vote like that last election.
I'm sure this is what Soros money is buying..............
Maria Agosto ducked into the back of an Orthodox church in Childs Park, Fla., pulling her hand-knitted pink scarf tighter as she settled in for three hours of protester training camp. It was early March in St. Petersburg, Fla.
A slender man in his mid-30s introduced himself as Grommit. It was not his real name.
“Doing direct actions changes something in your soul,†Grommit said. “It changes how you perceive yourself.â€
Once, he had been a radical activist, climbing trees and cranes to drop banners for organizations like Earth First and the Ruckus Society. Now he had a wife, a 2-year-old, a paycheck he didn’t want to risk. Instead, he educated protesters.
“I try to prepare people for what they are getting into.â€
The Republican National Convention is the protesting big leagues. The police and the Secret Service will aggressively keep order. Penalties will be more severe. Several antiwar protesters from the 2008 Republican National Convention were charged with terrorism.
“You must decide who is going to be arrestable,†Grommit said.
You do have some links about your statements, don't you? It is time to share them with the rest of us.
Absolutely. As you should know by now, I don't make accusations without proof from unbiased sources to back it (you and the other right wingers should try it some time )
"The billionaire industrialist brothers David and Charles Koch plan to steer more than $200 million — potentially much more — to conservative groups ahead of Election Day"
Backfired? How soon we forget the November 2010 historic republican landslide victory in the house plus all the gains at the state level.
Ask Richard Lugar how well it's working? He would have been a shoo-in for re-election. Had the Tea Baggers not insisted upon Angle in NV and O'Donnell in DE, the GOP would have had the Senate.
