George Soros
It was the end of the big year with three zeroes. The first X-Men movie had broken box office records. You couldn't set foot in a supermarket without listening to Brittney Spears caterwauling, "Oops, I Did It Again." And Republicans and Democrats had total control of both chambers of legislatures in the same amount of states.
That was the way it was back in the distant days of the year 2000.In 2016, Republicans control both legislative chambers in 32 states. That's up from 16 in 2000.
What happened to the big donkey? Among other things, the Democrats decided to
sell their base and their soul to a very bad billionaire and they got a very bad deal for both.
It was 2004. The poncho was the hottest fashion trend, there were 5 million new cases of AIDS and a former Nazi collaborator had bought the Democrat Party using the spare change in his sofa cushions.
And gone to war against the will of the people. This was
what he modestly called his own "Soros Doctrine".
"It is the central focus of my life," George Soros declared. It was "a matter of life and death."
He vowed that he would become poor if it meant defeating the President of the United States.Instead of going to the poorhouse, he threw in at least $15 million, all the spare change in the billionaire's sofa cushions, dedicated to beating President Bush.
In his best lisping James Bond villain accent, Soros strode into the National Press Club and declared that he had "an important message to deliver to the American Public before the election" that was contained in a pamphlet and a book that he waved in front of the camera. Despite his "I expect you to die, Mr. Bond" voice, the international villain's delivery was underwhelming. He couldn't have sold brownies to potheads at four in the morning. He couldn't even sell Bush-bashing to a roomful of left-wing reporters.
But he could certainly fund those who would. And that's exactly what he did.
Comment: So the leader of the "only democracy in the Middle East" and "America's best friend" is caught proposing a backroom deal to suppress freedom of the press in exchange for bumping his popularity with its readers. Sounds like Netanyahu has been paying close attention to the Democratic Party and its dealings with the US mainstream media.
