The George Soros/Wachovia/Obama connection

Here are the sordid details.

Excerpts:

"The top four donors to these 527 groups in the last Presidential election cycle (2004) were Soros, Peter Lewis of Progressive Insurance, Steven Bing, and Herbert and Marion Sandler . Collectively they gave 78 million dollars to left-leaning 527 groups. That was just in 2004. They have become much more ambitious over the last few years.

Soros, Lewis, and the Sandlers form a core group of billionaire activists and Democrat partisans who have formed a group called The Democracy Alliance. They realized that they could magnify their power by working in unison and tapping other wealthy donors to further their agenda (the superb Boston Globe article "Follow the money" is a good primer on how money and 527 groups have come together to have a huge impact on politics in America).

The Democracy Alliance is a major avenue to help them achieve their goals. The roster of its growing membership consists of a list of billionaires and mere multi-millionaires who collectively hope to give upwards of 500 million dollars each year to further promote a left-wing agenda. A partial roster of the Democracy Alliance membership can be found here.

Half a billion dollars a year can purchase a great deal of influence.

The Sandlers certainly know quite a bit about leverage from their savings and loan days.

Among the beneficiaries of their largesse: Air America, ACORN (a group that has very close and long lasting ties to Barack Obama and has a long history of engaging in voter fraud. Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (basically a private detective group focused on the private faults and foibles of Republicans), Media Matters, a media watchdog group that engages in harsh partisan attacks against media figures and articles it considers supportive of Republicans). The list goes on and on.

They are not merely out to elect Democrats, but to also permanently realign U.S. politics and shift our society and culture in a far-left wing direction."

God help us if we are dumb enough to elect a puppet like Barack Obama.

  1. I have stated repeatedly that Soros is the money behind this empty suit just as he was the money behind the empty John Kerry. People do not realize that it is he and his rich friends who want this sock puppet in the WH , the one who has already played the correct song called the Global Poverty Bill , which again plays into Soros plan in which he and a handful of elites will control the world economy. Somehow the LSM and the Obamazombies just don't get it. Unfortunately IF or WHEN they ever do it will be too late.

  2. "The Sandlers certainly know quite a bit about leverage from their savings and loan days."

    That is an eye opening post, Bubba. Thanks for bringing that to light.

    Obviously, those who profited from pushing sub prime need not continue to exert such an influence over politicians.

  3. American Thinker and its writers are an under-appreciated source of good investigative information, most of which gets ignored by the Tank Media and the Usual Suspects.
