Soros calls Obama "Greatest Disappointment"
And that he (Soros) doesn't "particularly want to be a Democrat."
Interesting.

Soros just not radical enough for 0bama, but willing to take money to help election.

What does Ocrappa care?
He cash purchased an $8.1 million dollar home with 8,200 square feet of luxury.
Gotta love Dems/Socialists like Ocrapper/Clintons/Bernie/Maxine Waters/Pelosi/Schumer/Pocahontas that live in mansions of millions of dollars (if not multiple homes) while checking down to us minions about the suffering of the middle/lower class.
'They' are the party of the people? Not a one of them has a clue about an honest days work.

Needless to say, I need somebody to write a book for me.

I always liked Soros...and could never understand why he is so infuriating to those on the right side of the aisle.
I've read a couple of his books...and could find no argument whatsoever with his logic.

3. Wants to curtail American sovereignty: Soros would like nothing better than for America to become subservient to international bodies. He wants more power for groups such as the World Bank and International Monetary Fund, even while saying the U.S. role in the IMF should be “downsized.” In 1998, he wrote: “Insofar as there are collective interests that transcend state boundaries, the sovereignty of states must be subordinated to international law and international institutions.”

9. Currency manipulation: A large part of Soros’ multibillion-dollar fortune has come from manipulating currencies. During the 1997 Asian financial crisis, Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir bin Mohamad accused him of bringing down the nation’s currency through his trading activities, and in Thailand he was called an “economic war criminal.” Known as “The Man who Broke the Bank of England,” Soros initiated a British financial crisis by dumping 10 billion sterling, forcing the devaluation of the currency and gaining a billion-dollar profit.

Countless businessmen have done EXACTLY as Soros has in order to increase their wealth...and they have taken no heat whatsoever from the "Powerful Conservative Voices".
And, yes...the Vegas casinos want to charge for parking. But I am fairly certain that my gambling action will qualify me for an exemption.

The differences I see is not how he makes his money as long as it is legal but how he spends it. I would use Bill Gates and Warren Buffett as very good examples from his side of the political spectrum. I know, I'm a hypocrite. I think his money could be better spent on more important things for humanity than a political belief.

Not true.
I have long advocated that the way to stop illegal invasions is to go after the people who hire them. Treat them as street-level drug dealers. You have an illegal working for you,, you forfeit your business just like they take the dealer's cars.
If the illegal is found working at GM, or GE, or Dunkin Donuts......no mercy.
Plus jail time and fines.
Oh, that illegal that mows your lawn - oopps - you just lost your house.

Yes, Tom...you've said that. But you haven't really meant it. Because when an employer like TRUMP is found to be hiring illegals on a wide scale...not only do you not advocate the confiscation of his businesses...but you praise him for his business acumen...and you consider him a suitable occupant of the White House.

As I said before...there are many other ultra-wealthy guys out there who use their assets to reshape our world in a self-serving way...but you guys conveniently forget about them, and vilify only Soros. How does a guy like Sheldon Adelson escape the scathing criticism of you "society-minded" folks?
But, hey...at least you acknowledge your own hypocrisy.

The next time you bring something useful to the discussions here, will be your first. You try to play the role of the posting "sniper"...but you lack the skill to pull it off. I thought you'd have realized that by now...

Why don't you bring us up to speed on the diabolical activities of Mr. Adelson?
