Anyone watching CNBC? GOP strategist on George Soros's donation
George Soros gave 15 million dollars to the Democratic party to legalize drugs.

How's that for spin? Get used to it.

1. A couple thoughts here
1 - if true, then my respect for Soros just jumped to stellar heights.

2 - if false, then this just proves that there is no point in being worried over what the Right will say about any candidate, Democrat, or Democratic action--as they'll just make shit up anyway.

3. You just know the GOP has one big target drawn on Soros now.
Old Charlie Black was crying about how the Democrats are getting so much more money than the Republicans. It was disgusting. They lie so easily, it's disgusting.

2. That must be a huge piece of crock
I know he wants drugs legalized, but I doubt he donated 15 million dollars to an organization to legalize drugs.

He must be talking about "American Coming Together". That is the only thing that comes to my mind.

4. Pure spin. They are taking his donation
to Democratic activists and spinning it into a donation to the Democrats meant to legalize drugs.

5. Well I certainly hope so...
If that's the case we may get Rush Limbaugh to vote Democratic after all.

10. God forbid that Soros would be in competition with the Republican's
Edited on Tue Dec-02-03 09:58 PM by drscm
donations from the pharmaceutical companies.

They're only protecting the interests of one of their major contributors. Legalizing drugs would lead to a major cut in prices - and a free market.
