   I’ve so enjoyed reading your comments elsewhere for a long while, yet somehow never got here until now. This was obviously my loss. Your blog is a real pleasure, better even than I had anticipated.

   I can’t stand McCain and was dead set against voting for him under any circumstances… until this morning. Please take time to review this very disturbing post by a very thorough, dear and respected friend. Unfortunately, I think you will arrive at the same place we are now.

   I don’t know what you’re talking about. I was never for Obama - I have a whole section here devoted to his terrorist appeasing, his muslim background and Larry Sinclair - who his campaign acknowledged in Puerto Rico, of all places - to keep it out of the media here.

   And I don’t like HIllary, either - she’s like Obama - and like her husband - and will only bring more destruction to our way of life, our values, etc.

   As far as I can tell, Obama, McCain and Clinton are all backed by Soros - so that no matter who wins - so does Soros and his politics of destruction. All three of them are victims, and none of them share my views or will respresent me–McCain would rather work with democrats than the people of his own party–so we have two marxists and another commie appeaser in Mccain (see Vietnam Veterans Against McCain)

   You don’t believe it? Meet the open borders family: McCain, Hernandez, Soros, and the “Reform Institute”

   The “Reform Institute” is McCain’s version of Hillary’s think tank, called the Center for American Progress. Who funded the Reform Institute, which boasts Juan “Think Mexico First” Hernandez as its resident amnesty fellow? The donor list is a who’s who of ultra left-wing, open borders elites. Again, via Ed Morrissey’s research:

   * The Tides Foundation, which heavily promotes “reproductive justice”, giving over $500,000 to pro-abortion efforts. They also actively oppose the death penalty (so do I, FYI). John McCain opposes abortion and supports the death penalty, so why is his chief political advisor getting so much support from those who ostensibly oppose him?

   * Educational Foundation Of America, which also supports abortion. EFA also opposes drilling in ANWR, an issue on which McCain has an ambivalent record. It also supports euthanasia and assisted suicide through the Death With Dignity National Center, a group which it gave $45,000. It gave $100,000 to the Alliance for Nuclear Accountability, which opposed the Yucca Mountain nuclear depository (McCain supported it), and opposes development of low-yield nuclear “bunker buster” bombs, which McCain supports.

   In fact, EFA appears to contribute to just about every left-wing cause imaginable, as well as a number of noncontriversial charities and outreach efforts.

   * The Proteus Fund, which also opposed the Yucca Mountain repository, spending $75K to stop it. That pales in comparison to the $935K they spent on supporting *** marriage initiatives, which McCain strongly opposes. They have also spent over $800,000 funding nuclear-disarmament and antiwar causes in each of the last two years. Their Security Policy Working Group contains nothing but left-of-center groups like Project on Defense Alternatives, which calls the Iraqi elections “faulty” and predicted disaster for the Bush administration’s “program of coercive transformation throughout the region.”

   * OSI (Open Society Institute), founded and funded by George Soros. Among a litany of left-wing causes supported by OSI are People For The American Way, to support their Supreme Court Project. (Hint: It isn’t intended on assisting Bush get his nominees confirmed.) They also gave $150,000 to the Campaign Legal Center, which will be important shortly.

   * David Geffen Foundation also shows up on the list, although not in the top tier. David Geffen is an entertainment-industry mogul who supports Democrats and left-wing causes. They do not have a website I could find, but Activistcash.com notes that in 2002, most of the grants Geffen gave went to environmental activists and the Tides Foundation and Tides Center.

   The Reform Institute is a tax-exempt, supposedly independent 501(c)(3) group, as Ed Morrissey noted two years ago, “that employs Rick Davis, who also works on McCain’s staff as his chief political advisor, and they pay him $110,000 per year. The Reform Institute has often supported McCain, paid for events highlighting him and his agenda, presumably including campaign finance reform.” The Reform Institute received $200,000 in donations from Cablevision…and McCain basically tried to intervene on Cablevision’s behalf by writing a letter to the FCC supporting its regulatory agenda. Morrissey noted at the time: “[T]he Reform Institute helps keep McCain’s staff gainfully employed between campaigns, allowing McCain to do less fundraising while retaining the best of the available talent. For instance, Carl Hulse and Ann Kornblut note that Rick Davis managed McCain’s presidential campaign in 2000 before founding Reform Institute. Now its president, he gets over $100,000 a year from RI for “consulting services”. That money allows Davis to remain available for McCain’s future campaigns, and the funding he raises for RI gives him inroads for building support.”

   People who deny things that are a part of the public record are either unaware, or unwilling to look at the record-which makes them foolish for not being willing to admit what is going on.

   There should be no surprise as to the leftist organizations that back McCain or his over-willingness to make excuses for democrats while being downright hostile to republicans with conservative values.

   Soros and his Open Society Institute are just a part of the leftist organizations that back McCain; which makes him no different than the other two candidates who are also backed by Soros and a plethera of leftist organizations.

   I don’t see it that way. If he flat out distances himself right off the bat from the ad, it takes the wind out of Obama’s sails to accuse McCain of supporting ads like this.

   I also understand he never saw the ad before denouncing it either.

   He never saw the ad before denouncing it. That’s interesting…what I see him doing is going to bat for the democrats he’s in bed with and turning his back on the GOP in North Carolina; which should be of no surprise since he’s buddied up with the democrats and even the communists of vietnam (see Vietnam Veterans Against McCain).

   Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think it’s significant that McCain has a think tank propped by leftist organizations like Hillary Clinton does…that is funded in part by George Soros’ Open Society Institute.

   Funny. We have three of George Soros’ puppets on display for the presidency…of that there is little doubt. What good are you doing when you deny the evidence? McCain is helping Soros put the final nail in the coffin of the Republican party. The similarities between them are shocking.

   McCain: George Soros’ Useful Idiot

   The Reform Institute from which John McCain resigned in 2005, no doubt to pursue his run for the presidency, is dedicated to advancing the Soros agenda despised by most Conservatives and many mainstream Americans. Their goals include amnesty, a borderless North America dissolving a sovereign USA, open Republican primaries which would have Democrats and Independents determining the Republican Presidential Candidate, thereby putting the final nail in the Republican Party’s coffin. For examples of how the institute feels regarding mass amnesty of illegal aliens in the United States, look at the student art work awarded for mocking the border fence, posted by Michelle Malkin, who has shined light on the Soros/McCain connection

   Soros was also behind McCain Feingold, another McCain/Soros connection.

   “Money paid to the Reform Institute rewarded McCain for pushing the McCain-Feingold Act, a law which restricts the ability of grassroots groups to advertise on television, while allowing major media free rein to promote their favorite Democrat candidates”

   I find it incredibly disturbing that this was a part of Soros’ Project on Death in America, in order to push rationing healthcare on the unsuspecting citizen…because of Hillary’s failed healthcare plan.

   The Reform Institute opened its doors in July 2001, with John McCain listed as chairman on the organization’s homepage and Arianna Huffington listed as a member of the Advisory Committee.

   Huffington from the Huffpo, another name recognized as tangled up with McCain’s think tank which is far from “conservative”.

   “McCain’s Reform Institute for Campaign and Election Issues received generous funding from several Pewgate foundations, including the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the Jerome Kohlberg, Jr. Revocable Trust, and George Soros’ Open Society Institute,” wrote Horowitz and Poe in “The Shadow Party.”

   After studying the Reform Institute’s website, Horowitz and Poe concluded that “almost all of McCain’s funders who have contributed more than $50,000 are left-wing foundations.”

   So this is not news, but what is funny is your inability and unwillingness to recognize its relevance to the theatrical political display which is our 2008 presidential “race”. There is no substantive difference between these candidates - and the similarities in sum, make up a long list.

   Good luck with that denial you have going there. As Mychal Massie said - Fear doesn’t control my vote.

   Cao, I was not suggesting that you ever were for Obama… did you read somewhere in my comment that I did? I truly despise McCain, always have and always will, for exactly the same reasons you espouse. I think I did clearly state that. I was attempting to point you towards additional reading. It is surely as much your option to reject as it is to review it.

   Sorry I mentioned anything.

   Well, perhaps you’re not aware of what I’ve written about Obama–and that’s why you’d point to something that includes some of the information I’ve already posted here.

   Why you would point me to an article about Obama on a post about McCain is anyone’s guess, I was wondering when I read your comment why you would switch the subject– other than the assumption or presumption that because I’m saying I’m not “for” McCain, I must be “for” Obama. I am not “for” any of the three George Soros candidates, as you can tell from the comments here, and Obama is one of my representatives here in Illinois, so I’m sad to report that I am painfully aware of his hateful rhetoric, his marxism, Jeremiah Wright’s marxist liberation theology, and Radical Muslims for Obama.

   I guess the thing that struck me strangely was your commenting about Obama and providing a link to information- on a post here about McCain.

   Please try to be clear when you’re leaving links and making commentary in comments; sometimes I have a hard time discerning the meaning. Isn’t it common practice to make a comment on the substance of the post?

   See the Obama Section here

   Or a few of the articles I’ve posted:

   Obama: Muslim call to prayer “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth”…

   Barack Obama, Kenya, his cousin Odinga and Islamic jihad

   Barack Obama’s radically marxist church

   Nahdmi Auchi, Rezko and Barack Obama

   I clearly mentioned that I had not been here before, after complimenting you on the content I had managed to peruse in one visit. I didn’t realize that it was required to read your entire blog and history before being allowed to comment. But I’m definetly up to speed now.

   “I can’t stand McCain and was dead set against voting for him under any circumstances…”

   That is not referencing McCain beneath a McCain subjected post? Yes, the link was discussing why Obama might suck more than the other readers, who are obviously inferior to yourself, might to date realize. There will be an election coming up, and they are likely running against eachother, thus I thought it might be pertinent.

   [”sometimes I have a hard time discerning the meaning”]

   I see that. My apologies for confusing you.

   I came here because I thought I admired your views and treatment of those who agreed with you. I was clearly also confused, but I can assure you it will not happen again.

    I have a short attention span for people who don’t give me credit for having any intelligence, which you’re still doing here.

    Look, I saw one sentence and then you veered off in another direction.

    I’m sorry oh grand puba of oversnsitivity, maybe you should do something about that overly thin skin, since all I’m doing is pointing out the obvious.

    Thanks for the agreement in one sentence; and the insults in several others–from someone who ‘agrees with me’, LOL…I guess above all I’m supposed to appreciate that you graced me with your presence.

    I bow to your omnipotence, oh great all-seeing all-knowing one, forgive me.
