George Soros: Kerry Sucked [Ace]

Via The New Vintage (who "questions the timing"), George Soros has the long, luxuriously European knives out for Kerry:

Jan. 30 -- Billionaire investor George Soros, the biggest financial contributor to the failed effort to defeat President George W. Bush in November's election, said Democratic challenger John Kerry was a flawed candidate.

Soros, chairman of Soros Fund Management LLC, spent $26 million in last year's campaign that he said was undermined by the candidate he supported.

``Kerry did not, actually, offer a credible and coherent alternative,'' Soros, 74, said yesterday in an interview at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. ``That had a lot to do with Bush being re-elected.''

...

The Kerry campaign ``tried to emphasize his role as a Vietnam War hero and downplay his role as an anti-Vietnam War hero, which he was,'' said Soros. ``Had he admitted, owned up to it, I think actually the outcome could have been different.''

Once again, The West Wing fallacy: if we just give them old-school neosocialist pacifist liberalism, they'll vote for us.

Nope. It's dishonest as hell, but hiding their actual policies and inclinations is actually their best strategy.

Soros said he also now questions ``what the Democratic party stands for.'' Democrats need to counter ``a very effective conservative message machine,'' he said. ``There really needs to be an alternative.''

Right. The elite print media, all the network news organizations, academia, and Hollywood just aren't enough to "get the message out there."

If that's not enough, I quiver to imagine what Soros has in mind.

More... Just One Minute on the everlong quest to get John Kerry to sign his form 180, releasing his military records.

You must read the post, if only for the "LAST LAUGH" update at the end.

Hey, at least Soros is confirming that his whole campaign was just an anti-Bush one, since he's clearly not pro-Kerry.

Ummm..."...Kerry Sucked [Ace]"

Might wanna reword that one Ace. Otherwise, Sully might get all excited....

Yes, great admission by Soros re: Kerry the Candidate. I wonder what a search of his supporting quotes would turn up? I'm betting as big a flipper as Kerry.

Also interesting is that Kerry needs to look over his record to make sure it's "clear" before signing the 180. What the hell does that mean?

I'm confused by the title of this post. Did Ace meet Kerry at Sundance? And, if so, why is it any of George Soros's business? They're consenting adults, and it's not like they're trying to adopt a child. At least as far as I know.

Soros is just letting Kerry and any remaining supporters know that he should drop any ideas of running in 2008. Look for him to name who his private democrat party is running real soon, after all he said it's his, bought and paid for. He's lining up his team, he's picked Dean for head coach, now he needs a quarterback.

Boy, that's a bummer. All those millions wasted. Soros would've been better off running Carrot Top, and using the savings to buy Uruguay, or Chicklets, or something.

How sad.

"Kerry was a flawed candidate."

In other news of the obvious "Water is wet."

Hey Dave,

What's with the 'hummer' comment? Sure, I guess the title of the post might make for some second-grade level chuckles for someone with the maturity of a....oh, you said 'bummer'.

Never mind.

"Kerry did not, actually, offer a credible and coherent alternative" hmmmm, I don't remember him saying that during he election.

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network
@TCNetwork

The people in charge [Jews, of course -- ace] don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus.

Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity.

Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this.
He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again.
You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.

Politico is reporting that multiple people have abruptly resigned from Eric Swalwell's gubernatorial campaign: "Members of senior leadership have departed the campaign, including Courtni Pugh, a strategic adviser who served as Swalwell's top liaison to organized labor groups."

So the campaign is collapsing due to the truth of the sexual harassment allegations.
That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera
