John McCain Gets Soros Cash

Senator John McCain's Reform Institute has suffered some bad press recently due to its involvement in an influence-peddling scandal with Cablevision. As usual, however, mainstream media have failed to go to the root of the matter.

Founded on June 26, 2001, McCain's Reform Institute for Campaign and Election Issues has long served as a nerve center for the so-called "campaign finance reform" movement  a movement which has done nothing to clean up campaign finance, but has done a great deal to empower federal judges and government bureaucrats to regulate political speech, in defiance of the Bill of Rights.

Now here's the kicker. The list of donors published on the Reform Institute's Web site reads like a veritable Who's Who of radical, leftwing foundations, including the Tides Foundation, the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the Proteus Fund and George Soros' Open Society Institute. (hat tip, Winfield Myers)

Not surprisingly, in view of the above associations, Arianna Huffington serves on the Reform Institute's Advisory Board. Huffington has long acted as a front for George Soros' "campaign finance reform" efforts. In 2000, she organized the so-called Shadow Conventions which provided John McCain with a bully pulpit to stump for his now-infamous McCain-Feingold Act. George Soros shouldered about one third of the cost of the Shadow Conventions.

Personally I think McCain is the most corrupt senator in Congress and belonged in jail with all the Keating Five and not in the Senate of the United States.

McCain's recent antics with Holy Joe Lieberman regarding their one-sided global warming hearings should alone qualify him as Soros' and Teresa's darling.

Would anyone out there like to a start a Soros Ping list? How about you edcoil? I think this guy and his hirelings need to see the light of day constantly.



The money trails always seem to lead back to this demon.

McCain is another political chameleon. AND he certainly is no conservative, a hard core RINO in my opinion. Like all of our fine powercentric politicians (eg like the Marxist Medusa) he will be anywhere, say anything, or do anything to gain power -- remember he was one of the first blatantly sucsessful engineers of legislation which flew in the face of the First Amendment (McCain-Feingold), which Bush approved, of course.

Which explains why the MSM is so in love with McCain. Yup...loved that lead balloon they tried to float a few days ago about how McLame could beat Hillary in 2008, LOL!



To: edcoil

I can't help but like the guy. To me it looks like he says what he feels and he tries to do what he believes is right even if it might hurt him politically. That doesn't make him right all the time, but it makes him a better man than most of those worthless tools in Congress and the Senate.



To: ravingnutter

The MSM is also putting Rudy Guiliani in the mix. This is meant to undercut the true conservatives...... Doubtful that McC or Rudy would ever get the republican nomination. However, in the states that allow dems to vote in open primaries, I am sure McC would win in that state.

He and the Keating Five cost us taxpayer 500 Billion on the S&L bail-out.



Corrupt is corrupt, doesn't matter how "nice" he appears on t.v.

Bookmarked.



Any politician that will take one plug nickle from Soros has forfeited the right to even one ounce of support from any man or woman that loves America.



Not surprising to see Soros money, and McCain perfidy, at the very point of the effort to gut the First Amendment even further...

Well maybe not .. but he was on the committee with JOHN KERRY - where they accepted the NV accounting of our missing in action. And .. of course Kerry was not going to force his friends to account for our men.



Maybe McCain didn't pull the trigger - but he sentenced those men to die in some stinking prison somewhere.



DON'T ANYBODY EVER TELL ME THIS MAN SHOULD BE PRESIDENT.



I knew McCain was scum when he was running against Bush and his WIFE was wearing a HILLARY PIN on her suit. I think McCain is a snake and I would never vote for him or trust him with America.
