To hell with Thomas and his drunk dialing wife. Let's just play their game. Time for George Soros to start throwing his scratch around. If these guys can be bought...why shouldn't he be one of the ones that can buy 'em? Equal opportunity!
Come on George, Sonia needs a new pair of shoes! How 'bout a Caddie for Ruth? Justice Kennedy looks like he could use some new golf clubs!
Please tell me that your post was tongue-in-cheek.
But if you seriously idolize this amoral millionaire, which of these do you agree with?
1. The Soros Prostitution Agenda. Open Society Institute (OSI), a foundation funded and controlled by George Soros, sued the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) ?over requirement that recipients of federal AIDS grants pledge to oppose prostitution. The group would be the second charity to challenge the policy, which AIDS activists say stigmatizes prostitutes and makes it harder to fight the disease.? In June 2006, Open Society Institute published a study entitled ?Sex Workers Health and Rights: Where is the Funding?? The report highlighted the role of OSI and various Soros foundations, in financing ?a large number of sex workers organizations? and attacked the Bush Administration policy for refusing to fund such groups. OSI received at least $30 million between 1998 and 2003 from the federal government, mostly from the State Department. (Wall Street Journal, September 23, 2005; Open Society Institute webpages,

2. • Soros Helped Finance a Pro-Marijuana Children?s Book. ?Dr. Robert Newman, served on the Board of Directors for the Drug Policy Foundation as early as 1997, and presently serves on the board of directors with another minority witness, Rev. Edwin Sanders, of the Drug Policy Alliance (the new name of the Drug Policy Foundation since its merger with the aforementioned Lindesmith Center). The Drug Policy Alliance describes itself as ?the nation?s leading organization working to end the war on drugs.? Along with its major donor George Soros, it helped produce It?s Just a Plant, a pro-marijuana children?s book. I will be very interested in learning from the witnesses today what they believe U.S. Government policy should be with respect to financing heroin distribution, safe-injection facilities, and how-to manuals like H Is For Heroin, published by the Harm Reduction Coalition, and children?s books on smoking marijuana, produced with the help of the organization run by two of the minority?s witnesses today.?

3. • Soros is Major Financier Behind Drug Legalization Groups. In 1994, Soros pledged $4 million over five years to the Lindesmith Center, a pro-marijuana legalization think-tank that merged with the Drug Policy Foundation to form the Drug Policy Alliance, which supports legalization of marijuana for ?medical? purposes, repealing mandatory minimum sentences for drug offenses, ending imprisonment for drug possession.

4. Soros Support of Lynne Stewart, lawyer to terrorists. ?George Soros funds many controversial projects, some extreme projects. One quick example is the $20,000 that went from his Open Society Institute to the Lynne Stewart Legal Committee. Lynne Stewart was the attorney who represented the blind sheik who was involved in the first bombing of the World Trade Centers and was later convicted for aiding and abetting his activities while in prison.? (Peter Flaherty of the National Legal and Policy Center, O?Reilly Factor, May 20, 2005, relying on Open Society Institute IRS Form 990 filings. Byron York, ?Soros Funded Stewart Defense,? National Review, February 17, 2005)

All of the above make America a better place?
