Soro's the new Cheney? - Page 4

Pico and ME · 11-22-2008, 02:38 PM

I have already read about Soro's history and I cant really find anything that I think is 'radical extremism'.

One more time, Merc...what does lefty radical extremism mean to you? If you cant answer than try not to use the phrase in the future if you want me to take you seriously on it.

I don't believe you have taken me seriously on much of what I have posted. I will use it where I see fit.

Lefty radical extremism is the opposite of Righty radical extremism, that should help. Anytime you think, "man that is a radical right view", consider the same vew from a position 180 degrees in the other direction and you will know what I mean. I don't think that most people who consider themselves to be liberal think their views are radical as much as most people who consider themselves to be conservative would consider their views to be radical.

I find it really funny that neither you, who initiated the thread, nor Classic, who jumped on it, want to answer my question.

Soros is successful and wealthy. He didn't get there by being stupid. He got there by coming up with good ideas and implementing them.

If he has ideas to share with the Obama transition team, that's good. It's up to them to determine if those ideas are illegal, immoral or fattening.

I guess my only point was that he is an extremely controversial individual how has supported some extremely controversial projects and organizations and I don't think it looks good for him to be consulting with him. I believe it degrades his notion that he is bringing "change" to the office. The laundry list of Clintonites he is stacking his administration also point to doubt that he is bringing change to the White House. I can't say Bush did not also consult with controversial figures, but Obama said he is going to change the way things are done. I guess this is just the first of many things he said he would do on the campaign trail that he will not do.

If he wants to do it right, he won't limit soliciting ideas from anyone. By putting together part of an idea from Soros with part of an idea from Cheney and part of an idea from Hugo Chaves, to come up with a fair solution, good for him.

I see Obama has been consulting with that controversial maverick McCain, too. What is he thinking talking to controversial people? He might get controversial cooties.

classicman · 11-25-2008, 09:11 PM

dar - Are you comparing McCain to Soros? Are you really?
I have no problem with Obama consulting with the sharpest minds in America, none whatsoever. In fact, I think that is an excellent plan and what any president should do.

Change that to "whoever he thinks might have a useful idea", and we are in agreement.
