#1 In other words, "I spent $25 million for MoveOn.org, and this is what I got?"

#2 Hopefully he'll renounce his citizenship, buy himself a country to dominate, and get the F*&k out

#4 Exile. Please.

For that matter, let's swap our Hollywood morons and other idiotarian celebs and academics for another country's, or maybe the EU's, best and brightest scientists, technicians and entrepreneurs. One-for-one. Ten years minimum. No money involved, and no tears. EU citizenship for George and Alec and Gwynneth and Garrison K and Mikey Boy, and US citizenship for Europe's brainiacs and entrepreneurs. Deal?

#6 His funds made $700 million last year. Funny, I remember a time when the Left was against billionaire Wall Street speculators.

And when certain wall street billionaires were opposed to the influence of big money on politics.

#7 Let him move to Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Korea, or any of a dozen other countries whose economies he almost destroyed through currency speculation in the 90's.

#8 Thank you, George, for disproving the cynical theory that elections can be bought.

#9 "...whatâs wrong with us?..."
By "us" he means Americans re-electing Bush, but intelligent introspection and reflection would be based on "...what's wrong with us Kerry supporters".

#17 ...whatâs wrong with us?

There is the Democratic motto in a nutshell: SELF-doubt, SELF-disdain, SELF-defeat, all in the service of whatever is not American. The slight pro-Bush upsurge in the polls gives me reason to be hopeful-there are still plenty of Americans out there who like themselves, who are proud of their beliefs and values.

#21 Here's the real thing:

Looks pretty close to the photo above. Shave off the $200 hair and add a cat, and you're there.

#23 I must protest linking my good name to that anti-semetic bag of fascistic filth, George "Kill Me Last, Good Nazi People" Soros!

I only sought to rule the Western World, he wants to destroy it.

Besides, I like kitty cats.

A LOT

#24 It's great when the financial power houses of the Upper West Side's far-left elite, cave in before the votes are even counted!

#26 Mrs. Davis.. I'm not so sure he's going to show a net profit on oil futures. Best I can tell, he's now abandoned the speculative attack.

#27 Soros' Swiss based commodity/currency/bond/stock trading firm in my opinion triggered the 'Asian Flu' through Soros' shorting South-East Asian currencies, which was his right, as any trader, but how many currency traders have the mega-funds to alter national and global economics? I stated to traders/brokers in the mid-1990's, 'Mr. Soros will take a massive lose on his risky Russian investments' , and he did. He got cocky & greedy! but what's a few billion here and there? :-) peanuts to Soros since he recovered those losses rather quickly.

I also recall back in the summer of Soros cornered a certain November Soybean contract by buying up the majority of existing contracts, that move paid big time as well as for others which followed his lead. In terms of trying to buy the American election, he will loss far more then his Russian flop!
