Good thing no U.S. military professional, two and three star generals, agree with such a crazy position.

what, just because people are dying and we're blowing hundreds of billions of dollars ? At least a bunch of morans in the midwest don't have to hide under their beds cowering in fear that some brown guy is going to nuke their bowling alley.

Who really is dining on the BS, and trying to convince everyone else it's chocolate?

Oh yeah, because he's the only person who's ever spent a lot of money on an election and still lost. WTF?

Soros is a tool. However, he MIGHT also be correct in this case.

$25 million is chump change compared to the billions burned in Iraq.

For that sort of money, he should have been smart and bought an electronic vote machine making company. fark participating in the process. Just make the elections come out like you want. It's easier.

Good one, submitter!

Nothing like a pointless swipe at George Soros to really make those filthy liberals eat their livers.

That's gotta really be burning them up down in Liberalville.

Soros is a former member of the Board of Directors of the Council on Foreign Relations. THAT is why he scares me.

WTF is self-defeating? Does it mean that our guys just need to stop and wait a few days for the ragheads to beat themselves?

Soros is an asshat.

Better to try and lose, then vote for Bush and prove yourself an idiot. (My apologies to those who have sence come to thier senses re: Bushie, but the submmitter asked for it.)

I have to say, great use of the irony tag.

Someday the Democrats will figure out the Northeastern liberal establishment doesn't play well in the heartland.

It is too bad these people won't/don't have the ability to look at things with a more critical eye and a larger worldview.

Uh, that's not irony. If he had been supporting Bush, maybe. But that's not irony.

Good thing he did such a good job helping in his native Hungary when the Soviets took over.
