    George Soros gives $1 million to Priorities USA Action

    Excerpt:

    "Democrats got some encouraging news on Thursday when liberal billionaire George Soros announced $1.5 million in donations to super PACs supporting President Barack Obama and Democratic congressional candidates.

    The contributions, first reported by The New York Times and confirmed by POLITICO, include $1 million to Priorities USA Action, the super PAC devoted to Obama’s reelection and a total of $500,000 to a pair of super PACs devoted to the party’s congressional candidates — Majority PAC and House Majority PAC. It was not immediately clear the precise allocation of the donations between the two, but the Hungarian-born financier had previously donated $175,000 to the latter, including a donation late last month, as well as $100,000 to the latter.

    The donations bring to $4.3 million Soros’s total giving this cycle to Democratic outside groups, making him the biggest known donor on the left, but leaving him well short of the $24 million he donated to outside groups ahead of the 2004 election.

    After the groups failed to defeat President George W. Bush, Soros expressed leeriness about donating to efforts focused primarily on campaign advertising. So the donations announced Thursday cheered Democrats hoping Soros’s shift would presage similar contributions by like-minded wealthy donors.

    Sources told POLITICO that the donations were announced by Soros’s political adviser Michael Vachon at a New York meeting of members of the Democracy Alliance, a club of liberal donors that has recommended donations to Democratic super PACs.

    Vachon and Democracy Alliance officials did not respond to requests for comment, but the Times reported that other Democracy Alliance members were expected to contribute millions more to the Democratic super PACs.

    WHAT THE HELL ? In my opinion , donations to a PAC or super PAC are identical to donations for a specific candidate , and should
    not be allowed to happen . " WE THE PEOPLE " want true elections and not an office bought at auction to the highest bidder .
    Soros is a card carrying communist and criminal who should be arrested and deported out of AMERICA .
    What puzzles me is why he and other wealthy people are liberals and favor redistribution of wealth . George SORRY ASS and all the
    others who think alike can start by distributing some wealth my way . I could use a couple million dollars .

      MAK,

      I believe you will find, in most if not all countries where 'socialism' or the more 'radical-left' government programs have been implemented, that they ultimately enable CONTROLLING THE WEALTH, not sharing the wealth. The true wealth of the country, generated by the hardworking, lower 90% or so of the population, is then easily controlled by the ruthless, powerful few at the top, to their own advantage.

      Thus, what actually ends up being 'shared' or 'redistributed' in the country, at least among the mass of people, is POVERTY!

      One of the main goals of the age-old, devious and cruel 'wealth redistribution' scam is to eliminate the middle-class. Once this has been accomplished, the primary COMPETITION for control of the true wealth of the country no longer exists. The formerly middle-class people who are hungry and forced to wait in line for food, for example, no longer have the time and energy to present any real political challenge to those now controlling the wealth.

      A change from a 'Constitutional Republic' to a 'Democracy' and eventually to any one of the 'Radical-Left' forms of government such as Fascism, is being greatly aided by our public school system and main stream media, now both being controlled by a powerful, tyrannical central government. -- Welcome to USA 2012!

      None dare call it 'conspiracy' but much of the above cited transition has been carefully planned so 'conspiracy' is an accurate description!

      The transition in the USA did not start with Obama, although he has dramatically accelerated the process and now made it more visible to alert and concerned citizens. The transition here has been slowly implemented over the course of many decades and is part of a global 'New World Order' process. Many powerful and influential individuals, including George Soros, have been intimately involved in the transformation.
