I just wish he'd grow up!


Soros: Kerry a Flawed Candidate

Billionaire George Soros spent $26 million last year trying to defeat George Bush, and he blames John Kerry for Bush's victory.

In what Bloomberg.com termed his sharpest criticism of Kerry yet, Soros, the biggest contributor to the beat-Bush campaign, said that Kerry was a flawed candidate. In an interview with Bloomberg.com, Soros complained: "Kerry did not, actually, offer a credible and coherent alternative. That had a lot to do with Bush being re-elected."


Kerry, he added, "tried to emphasize his role as a Vietnam War hero and downplay his role as an anti-Vietnam War hero, which he was," said Soros. "Had he admitted, owned up to it, I think actually the outcome could have been different."
He had harsh words for the Democratic Party as well, saying he also now questions "what the Democratic Party stands for." Democrats, he advised, need to counter "a very effective conservative message machine. There really needs to be an alternative."

During the campaign Soros donated millions to the Media Fund - a group Bloomberg.com reported ran television, print and radio advertisements against Bush - and America Coming Together, a group that mobilized voters in battleground states such as Ohio and Pennsylvania. He also personally bought anti-Bush ads in newspapers around the country, and went on a 12-city speaking tour to criticize Bush's foreign policy.

Soros has no regrets about his campaign activities, insisting that the money he spent was worthwhile and that he will remain active in U.S. politics.

"I don't feel it's an investment that's gone bad, because when you stand up for principles you have to do it whether you win or lose," Soros said. "I'm distressed that Bush was re-elected, but I don't feel that I wasted my money."

It's a great pity because I think Kerry would have brought back some of the old values Americans hold dear.


Uggg, my skin is crawling just thinking of the values Kerry would bring.

Soros is lower than whale dung. 'nuff said.

To quote a phrase from "Con-Air" said by Cyrus the Virus while talking to Johnny 23...."somewhere between a cockroach and the white stuff that accumulates at the corners of your mouth when you're really thirsty"!

I'd be pissed if I put $26 million down on a horse who owes his entire political career to a few war crimes too!! :~D

I'd say it's true that Kerry was a flawed candidate. As bad a job as Bush was doing, a tree stump should have been able to beat him (it probably could have beat him in a debate). Kerry was a flawed candidate. He took too long to fight back against the Swift Boat ads. Even though Bush flip-flopped on as many issues, Kerry became known as the flip-flopper by the people who were too lazy to actually look at the issues. Just think what Kerry could have used in an effective campaign:

The Bush family had close business ties with the family of the man responsible for the 9/11 attack. This alone should have lost the election for Bush!

There's evidence that Bush was guilty of insider trading with his Harken Energy stocks.

Bush screwed over the people of Arlington, Tx with his stadium deal.

Bush was a failed businessman and if it wasn't for his complete lack of ethics in his campaigns (thanks to Rove), he never would have become a successful politician.


None of these things ever came up in Kerry's campaign.

Yet, a million other attacks did come up. The Biggest problem (other then Kerry himself) was all the attacks. What the democrates failed to see was that they should have brought ideas to the table and not just Bash Bush. BenUser you are showing exactly why people where turned off of the Democratic party only trying to tear the other guy down this last election. The sad thing is your still convenced that more slime was needed.

On top of all this Ben, do you enjoy swallowing the democratic BS?

I love these blame games. Sorros fits well in the Democratic left wing agenda and not only that, he himself is a flawed personality. After spending $26 Mil. dollars in hopes to control or a stepping stone to control the American people and put us in our place. My question is who is to be blamed, SOROS maybe! Soros should be exposed for what he is.. a controlling freak and a communist at heart. He is the DANGER to us all. Comunists are still healthy and alive, living as SHADOWS for the chance to come back dominant us. WHAT SOROS ORIGINAL BIRTH NAME---WHO IS HE?
I am not a Democrat or a Republican.
