| How to Buy Helpful Idiots: John McCain funded by Soros since 2001 |
| 2008-02-12 |
| Candidate's Reform Institute also accepted funds from Teresa Kerry As Sen. John McCain assumes the GOP front-runner mantle, his long-standing, but little-noticed association with left-wing donors such as George Soros and Teresa Heinz Kerry is receiving new attention among his Republican critics. In 2001, McCain founded the Alexandria, Va.-based Reform Institute as a vehicle to receive funding from George Soros' Open Society Institute and Teresa Heinz Kerry's Tides Foundation and several other prominent non-profit organizations. McCain used the institute to promote his political agenda and provide compensation to key campaign operatives between elections. In 2006, the Arizona senator was forced to sever his formal ties with the Reform Institute after a controversial $200,000 contribution from Cablevision came to light. McCain solicited the donation for the Reform Institute using his membership on the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. In a letter to the Federal Communications Commission, he supported Cablevision's push to introduce the more profitable al la carte pricing, rather than packages of TV programming. No Surprise Here |

| #5 Soros is also a big funder of democracy NGOs worldwide. Want to dump on them, too? Jerome Corsi is a grade-A moonbat, (see this example, frex) and I'd stick my head out the window to check if he told me that the sky was blue. |

| #2 Anyplace to find a list of all Soros donations (which is different from somebody being entirely funded)? |
