...which is good news for the Republic.

According to the Contra Costa Times, NYT writers Michael Luo and Jeff Zeleny posit that George Soros and other wealthy Democrat Donors are pulling the cash they usually give to candidates in favor of special interest groups...

Democratic donors like George Soros and fellow billionaire Peter Lewis, who each gave more than $20 million to Democratic-oriented groups in the 2004 election, appear to be holding back.

"Mr. Soros believes that he can be most effective by funding groups that promote progressive policy outcomes in areas such as health care, the environment and foreign policy," said an adviser, Michael Vachon. "So he has opted to fund those activities."

Twisting in the wind, these awful "D" congresscritters who've done so much damage with their ObamaCare, TARP bailouts and other overtly socialist programs.

Not that Soros is relinquishing his hold on the Democrat Party. Who else would promote his overarching lefty goals? These special interest groups he's funding will eventually funnel the money to selected Democrat politicians anyway; what Soros is doing is eliminating the higher-level Democrat Party operatives and controllers from the feeding loop. He must be annoyed at Obama's targeting of the far-left activists, and wants him to see exactly who controls the purse.

President or no, Obama, you must realize that Soros is your master.

Oh, and this...

Businesses Step Up Political Ads

From eye doctors to real estate agents, businesses are funding millions of dollars of campaign advertisements and mailings to help candidates, mostly Republicans, win this fall.

A good thing, and a sign of just how desperate businesses are, spending hard-earned monies to help ensure a better future for our business community.

Otherwise, and know that this is how it’s gonna be for as long as the far-left controls the once-proud Democrat Party: Who is John Galt ?
