quote: Liberal Billionaire Begins Lecture Tour In Drive To Oust Bush By Jeff Gannon Talon News September 29, 2004 WASHINGTON (Talon News) -- What his millions of dollars in donations to leftist political groups have not yet been able to do, billionaire George Soros hopes to accomplish by pamphleteering in the month leading up to the presidential election. The Hungarian-born immigrant will take his campaign to oust President George W. Bush from the White House to a dozen U.S. cities on a speaking tour promoting the paperback edition of his recent book, "The Bubble of American Supremacy: The Costs of Bush's War in Iraq." Soros announced his plans during a speech at the National Press Club in Washington, DC. He pledged to spend up to $3 million advertising his appearances in cities situated in battleground states. The billionaire also launched a new web site to publicize his campaign and distribute information about his speeches. Retired General Wesley Clark and Ambassador Arthur Hartman introduced Soros at the press event. Clark was a contender for the Democratic presidential nomination and Hartman represented a group called Diplomats and Military Commanders for Change (DMCC). Clark said, "George Soros is sounding the alarm for the American people. Few people in the United States understand better than George Soros the risks to America's world leadership of this administration's foreign policy. I am very pleased to stand with him today to support his work to highlight the costs of this misguided war in Iraq and the need for a change in this country's leadership." Hartman, speaking on behalf of former career diplomats and retired military officials of the DMCC, said, "Never before have so many retired diplomats and military commanders come together to warn the country we served and love that we need a change in leadership and direction. We are thrilled to join George Soros in this effort and to support his work to bring these fundamental issues to the American people." Soros began his lecture stating, "President Bush is endangering our safety, hurting our vital interests and undermining American values." He claimed that Bush's doctrine of preemption, manifested in the invasion of Iraq, caused a vicious cycle of escalating violence. Soros said that a defeat for the Republican in November would be a repudiation of that policy and help to break the circle and regain the respect and support of the world. Soros, who operates an international foundation that he says promotes the values and principles of a free and open society, warned against Bush's threats to American civil liberties. He claimed that after September 11, 2001, the president silenced all criticism by calling if unpatriotic. He believes that Bush committed a fundamental error in thinking that whatever action the United States would take against terrorists is "automatically good." "What we do to combat terrorism may also be wrong," he said. Soros repeated a talking point recently adopted by the Kerry campaign. He said that Bush inadvertently played into the hands of bin Laden with the invasion of Iraq. He said, "It was President Bush's unintended gift to bin Laden." Soros made his political pitch when he said, "If we reelect President Bush, we are telling the world that we approve his policies - and we shall be at war for a long time to come." He disagreed with Bush's assertion that terrorists hate Americans for being freedom-loving people. He also claimed that the prisoner abuse of Abu Ghraib was not the work of a few misguided soldiers, but part of a system of dealing with detainees put in place by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. The billionaire also accused an influential group within the Bush administration led by Vice President Dick Cheney of "itching to invade Iraq long before 9/11." Soros went on to recite a laundry list of leftist criticisms of the President and his foreign policy. He feigned concern for the safety and morale of American troops and callously implied that combats deaths were in vain and pronounced the liberation of Iraq a "quagmire." Tuesday was not the first time Soros has made outrageous statements. He raised some eyebrows at a meeting of a liberal activist group in Washington in June when he compared the mistreatment of Iraqi POWs to the deaths of 3,000 Americans on September 11. He told members of the Campaign for America's Future, "I think that those pictures hit us the same way as the terrorist attack itself ... not quite with the same force, because in the terrorist attack, we were the victims. In the pictures, we were the perpetrators and others were the victims." Soros continued, "But there is, I'm afraid, a direct connection between those two events, because the way President Bush conducted the war on terror converted us from victims into perpetrators." He was introduced at the "Take Back America" event by Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) who said, "we need people like George Soros, who is fearless and willing to step up when it counts." Jim Dyke, communications director for the Republican National Committee, issued a statement about Soros' plans, saying, "The only explanation for the Daddy Warbucks of the Democratic Party, George Soros, to step out from behind the curtain 35 days before the election is his obvious concern for his investment in John Kerry." He continued, "And the only explanation for the Kerry campaign's public embrace of a man who says the President's words conjure up memories of Nazi Germany, spends his millions supporting marijuana legalization, softer penalties for drug dealers doing business around schools and euthanasia liberalization is desperation." A little history on this guy, Goerge Soro's was a person who helped fund the bush campaign back in 2000, in hope's that Bush would elect him an ambassador position. However someone else got that position and since then Soro's has had a personal vendetta against Bush to oust him Kinda stupid if you ask me.. going after a president just because you didn't get the position you wanted quote: Dole: Democrats Place Politics, Partisanship Over Progress By Jimmy Moore Talon News September 29, 2004 SPARTANBURG, SC (Talon News) -- Sen. Elizabeth Dole (R-NC) offered her support for Republican Senate candidates and President George W. Bush in a recent message distributed by the National Republican Senatorial Committee. Dole said in the e-mail to Republican supporters that she went to Washington to "uphold the principles that made our country a beacon of freedom and opportunity to all." "Ronald Reagan famously said that this country was the 'shining city on a hill' and I believed it then and still do," Dole exclaimed. However, Dole said she has been taken aback by the "negative tone and political posturing of the Democrats." "They have clearly placed partisanship and politics ahead of good policy and progress," Dole observed. "It seems their optimism is gone." As a result, Dole said Republicans are about "moving America forward." "The president and the Republican Party are committed to winning the war on terrorism and strengthening our economy," Dole expressed. "Republicans don't look at the problems that face us as insurmountable, we look at them as problems to be solved." Listing what she believes are the top four reasons to vote for Republicans on November 2, Dole said it focuses on the economy and jobs, the war on terrorism, the strong Republican Senate candidates and President Bush. "Raising taxes on individuals and businesses doesn't boost the economy," Dole said, referring to what Democrats have done when they are elected to public office. "We need to create a business-friendly environment that adds jobs and fuels small business creation. We also need to put an end to frivolous law suits." Dole said Republican candidates "understand what it takes to strengthen the economy and are willing to work with the President to do so." On the issue of the war on terrorism, Dole said it is "going to take a commitment to seeing the task through." "It will take hard choices and the president is going to need to rely upon the Senate to put progress and good policy ahead of political calculation and partisanship," Dole noted. "[Republicans] understand the struggle before us and always place America first." As for the team of Republican Senate candidates, Dole said they are "awesome." "Each candidate cares deeply about their home state and our country," Dole exclaimed. "They are hardworking and running on a positive message. And no one doubts their commitment to, or their readiness to stand with, President Bush." Dole believes the Republican Party can extend their majority in the U.S. Senate on election day in a few weeks. Finally, Dole said President Bush has been a "great" leader. "I am proud to stand with him," Dole stated. "I was honored that he invited me to address the Republican National Convention and I am honored to support him." The wife of former Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole said "no one should doubt [bush's] commitment" to America as evidenced by his handling of unprecedented events over the past four years. "His administration has tackled and solved the hard problems thrust upon us," Dole reminded. "He has made hard choices and has thrown his full commitment behind them. That kind of leadership is rare and should be fully supported."

I hardly call that "Sarcasm" Bal, you should know since you've been here long enough that I don't take Sarcasm lightly when it involves Politics

Soback is right Ever since the school's turned to the government for help we've been going down hill in that area That's why a lot of us no longer call schools "Public" due to some interesting thing's that have been going on For example At my old high school, our principle was a Kerry fan and he would tell students to VOTE Kerry and not Bush and in some case's, he would tell student's that it's "ok" to riot That right there is why most school's are called "Liberal" because most people who are incharge of them are democrat's who could care less about educating the future, they only care about there pocket book The sad fact about this, is that people are to blind to notice that our school's are the primery problem in today's sceitie The sooner the school system switch's back to being state run the sooner our problem's will start to go away, but that's not going to happen.. as long as the school system get's government funds

Liberal BS is all I got to say Yes, yes I do; as CNN is "The most trusted name in news." The Communist New's Network? TRUSTED?! My friend, you need a reality check. CNN is THE MOST Liberal new's out there, there anti-republican, anti-bush and in most case's, anti-american

And you believe the Main Stream Media? Liberal BS is all I got to say

Propaganda Matrix... Interesting... Not sure if I should believe that or not seeing that the site IS named "Propaganda" (IE, What the demorat's LOVE to do..) By the way, head's up... ALL question's are scripted in case you don't know.

Anyone taken notice that the board no longer loads up? At least for me it doesn't, I keep getting a "Page Cannot be Displayed" thing

Hellbinder, shall I toss you out the air lock? Or shall I leave that for another SC to do I believe in Derek Smart, primarily because he almost tossed me out that same air lock a year ago... But.. hmm... maybe that would explain why Derek is considered "Smart" cause he WAS aducted by aliens

I think Derek would go ballistic if someone started up a load of useless threads on this board (like that one idiot did a couple months back)

CBS Apologizes for Using Forged Documents quote: WASHINGTON (Talon News) -- CBS issued a statement Monday in the wake of the controversy surrounding phony documents the network used to accuse President George W. Bush of receiving preferential treatment to get into the Texas Air National Guard 30 years ago. The network backed off its previous claims that the documents were "100% authentic" when the source of the forgeries confessed that he had misled the "60 Minutes" producer of the investigative piece.

Guys Spain was completely neutral in WW2 Spain was the country that our downed air men or pilot's who couldn't make it back to England went to for refuge Ask any American bomber pilot's or fighter pilot's and they'll tell you the same thing My nabor across the street told me that, he served during world war 2 as a bomber pilot

And here I thought MOAB only existed in Command and Conquar Generals

Actually That entire movie was filmed in one empty room, they just added the background and such using computers Excellent

You still fail to understand our military The reason why won't use nuke's is because of the effect's it might have on the enviroment Plus There is a possibility that dropping a MOAB (what ever you call it) could escalate this problem FURTHER

Here's a question Kerry claim's that he'll cut taxes Yet, if he's going to spend 2 trillion.. where will all the money come from? I'll tell you, he'll get rid of Bush's Tax Cut's so he can start racking in the money. THEN He'll use it to fund his little programs But the major draw back You're not going to get as much money as you would if Bush's TC's where active Do the Math, and figure it out for yer-self Kerry may be a big kid with money, but you honestly think he'll use that money for the US? Nope, he would much rather Tax us all to death Like his running mate, you KNOW how he got all his money? Easy... by sueing.. nuff said Trust me, Kerry want's to get rid of Bush's tax cuts... and the only way he'll be able to do that is if he is elected

Jag You're link point's to http://http://

First off, it's Derek And that's why he keep's this forum nice and clean To be honest, you'll never see this forum turn into something like that.. at least I hope that That's the main reason why BCM is really the only board I visit anymore SMB board has gone haywire, RPers there don't know how to RP so I stopped posting my storys (which I have a lot mind you) I've seen the mess on that board, that's why I don't bother posting on it... there's no order... just chaos... there's no moderation.... just disruption

Without further proof we can't exactly do that Baloogan, it's common sense It's not like if the police knew three location's of crack pot planters they could just perform a raid In this case there need's to be more proof, like the location's exact wearabouts, the force that might be protecting it. And weather or not other country's are involved in said protection

You said it yourself, you're government caved in to the terrorists and proved to them that threat's and such are successful I understand you're not spaniard, I'm not saying you are Just remember, by caving into the terrorists it just told them that they can do what ever they want to Spain and the government won't even care to fight back

If they had any interest to make the game 'seamless' they would've sent Derek Smart a letter asking him for help... hmm what are the odd's?

Nice response Nomad, thank you Judge, has the thought ever occured that roughly 80% of the world RELIE'S on the US in order to stay alive? Japan England Canada Mexico South America Europe Germany China Korea And many many more relie on the US for financial support, primarly because where the biggest nation on the earth that is capible of doing such support And, where a super power, that mean's that most american's feel they have bragging rights. Granted we ARE able to wipe a continant off the face of this earth in under a few seconds, but that's beside the point What's the point, Judge, is that weather you like it or not, many country's relie on us. THAT'S why people don't like us, a lot of people feel that we should go into isolation (I know I do, why should I use my money to support other countrys? or support another country's children, I have my own problem's to worry about) Granted, we have our problem's with Politic's. Our justice system is corrupt, the innocent are prosecuted while the guilty are set free Our political system is corrupt Our media system is biased, some of our media agencys (CNN,ABC,MSNBC,CBS) report anything that is against the President and don't bother to report anything good Our education system is corrupt, certain bills (like the no child shall be left behind) have done NOTHING but RUIN our school's, by allowing illegal's to send there children to school Our borders patrol's are a joke, when people are caught crossing the borders there given food and water and put on a plane and sent back In my opinion we should take all our troop's out of every other country(minus iraq and afgan) and place them on the border Country's like Korea? Hell if Korea want's to blow itself up let them, just one less country to worry about Why should we worry about being the police of this world? It isn't our job That's why I feel isolation is our only mean's to survival, America is has been around a lot longer than the Romen Empire, and all great empire's must come to an end Who knows' maybe America will exist for another two hundred years Or, it could all end the next day.. no one knows Nomad, Spain is just as guilty as America is for carting to the Terrorists The thing is, we have ADAPTED thank's to President Bush. And since adapting we havn't had a SINGLE attack on our soil since 9/11 There have been several attempts (which you won't hear in the bais/mainstream media) but all have failed thanks to both the Patriot Act and our President [ 09-15-2004, 05:46 PM: Message edited by: Kalshion ]

forgive my clueness, but how big IS 8 km when it involves a game world? In the case of Jedi Let me tell you this, on my server, Eclipse, roughly 80% of the population is going Jedi now thank's to the new quest system EIGHTY PERCENT!!! It's to a point where I no longer find it worth while to go pvp anymore since there is no defense against Jedi All they need to do is run up to you, "Wack Wack", and you're dead Maybe they should rename the game to "Star War's Galaxies: Jedi Wars"

You missed the point of the document nomad The document has both fact and flawed information Information there show's that at the time we had the right to go into Iraq, and even though I still think we had our right that's my opinion In the case where the intellgence was possibly flawed, that's the fault of the intelligence analist's, NOT the Administration The administration trusted the intell, there for you can't fault them
