George Soros’ coup was ten years in the making.  Since 1994, he had worked with a network of left wing foundations to fund a $140-million-dollar lobbying drive to favor “campaign finance reform.”  The campaign succeeded in passing the McCain-Feingold Act, which, by outlawing “soft-money” donations, in effect de-funded the Democratic Party. As a result of the Act, the Democratic Party could no longer collect the multi-million-dollar donations from labor unions which were its lifeblood.

 

George Soros stepped in with the Shadow Party to collect the donations instead.

 

The Democratic Party now driven to the brink of bankruptcy, George Soros then offered to save it.  George Soros, in effect, privatized the Party, by setting up a network of privately-owned, non-profit groups which would raise the big campaign contributions, which the Party was now not permitted to raise itself.

 

A new book, by David Horowitz and Richard Poe, The Shadow Party, describes George Soros’ achievement, Soros’ followers and contributors act as a mirror image or shadow of the real Democratic Party.  During the 2004 election cycle, the Shadow Party raised more than $300 million for the Democrat cause, however they spent the money itself. This allowed it to shape the politics of the Democratic campaign and control the party’s future.

 

This is very scary! One left wing person, George Soros has changed the politics of a political party and literally control its actions.
