George Soros' son starts anti-SuperPAC SuperPAC

Check it out!

It’s a super PAC that hates super PACs.

Jonathan Soros, son of a prominent liberal financier, is helping to launch an independent advocacy group with hopes of spending up to $8 million targeting House lawmakers, primarily Republicans, who oppose public matching funds for elections and other campaign finance reforms.

The new super PAC, called Friends of Democracy, will file its first disclosures with the Federal Election Commission later this month and plans to zero in on 10 to 15 House races with television ads, mailings and Web messaging, Soros and other organizers said Thursday.

Like all super PACs, Friends of Democracy will be able to raise unlimited funds from wealthy individuals, corporations or unions--precisely the kind of system that the group is fighting against.

“We openly acknowledge the irony of being a super PAC trying to address money in politics,” Soros said in an interview in Washington. “But our goal is to eventually decrease the influence of this kind of group...We don’t see any other path to real legislative change.”

Soros’s father, George, is a well-known contributor to liberal causes whose role in spending more than $23 million during the 2004 elections made him a bête noire among conservatives. The elder Soros has announced plans to give $2 million to a pair of liberal groups this year, as well.

Unlike his father, Jonathan Soros, who stepped down last year from day-to-day management of his family’s New York-based investment fund, has not been particularly active in politics until now. He gave $100,000 in seed money to start Friends of Democracy and said his father is not involved with the group.

Soros launched the super PAC with David Donnelly, executive director of the Public Campaign Action Fund, and Ilyse Hogue, formerly with the liberal groups Media Matters and MoveOn.org.

Donnelly said the group will likely target Republican lawmakers such as Reps. Dan Lungren (Calif.), Charlie Bass (N.H.), Nan Hayworth (N.Y.), Jim Renacci (Ohio) and Chip Cravaack (Minn.) and at least a handful of Democrats who also oppose campaign finance limits. The super PAC also plans to offer support to candidates who advocate for reform.

Unfortunately, the uberrich elite seems to include a hundred Richard Mellon Scaifes or Koch Brothers for every Soros or Buffett . . . Still, it's something!

You say 13-14 is a child. I know some of the shit I pulled when I was 13 and I also know I knew what I was doing.

But...

I also find the way he manipulates political systems across the globe to get the desired investments results both brilliant and sick as fuck

The fucker cares for nothing but his on wallet and he is very very good at keeping it fat.

Go read up on what he did to the bank of England and tell me that fucker cares about people.

I really don't care. My point was that he was a child trying to save his own ass. He shouldn't be blamed for that.

 

[Sean Renaud]

I'm not sure anybody should be blamed for surviving Nazi Germany.

........ and I disagree. I think my morals were pretty set at 13. My impulse control may not have been, but I still knew right from wrong.

There were kids younger than 13 in the French Resistance...... and they were French for gods sake!!!!

Anne was 13 as well...I sure she could have sold out someone to the Nazis instead of hiding in a attic....

 

[semen4her]

America should let 13 yr olds vote.

They seem to understand everything that's going on around them.

 

[jeninflorida]

We need to end SuperPAC and limit the amount of money any political person can spend

Sure why not, after all, we allow people from other countries to vote. And we have the Dead voting in Chicago

Yeah, right on! Fuck free speech!

 

[jeninflorida]

Yeah, right on! Fuck free speech!

Well last election Obama purchased it. This year it looks like Romney will raise and spend more money then Obama. Is this a good thing?

I see your point, but I hate all the political TV commercials and robo calls

I want to opt-out of the political bull shit

Yeah, it sucks when the rich can buy political office, but that's the cost of living in a free society. It's up to the voters to research the candidates and decide for themselves, regardless of what the TV ads or the robocalls tell them. It's not a good thing that people are so easily swayed, but that's their fault, not the Super PAC's. The two party system is also bullshit, but that's what the voters choose.

Bring up Soros' name and the miserable failure always wants to talk about Nazis

Soros was 13. How old was Ishmael when he sold military supplies to Al Qaeda?

We can have a free society without that; many free countries do.

No, it isn't. A two-party system is the natural/mechanical result of the first-past-the-post single-member-district electoral system; and there's nothing a voter can do about that, unless that system itself is a ballot issue, which it never is. That's why America has always had a two-party system of some composition or other, or sometimes a one-party system -- there has never been room for more.
