Besides the fact I think Soro's is a scumbag, I guess it is no difference than religious right advising Bush, et. al. But I do recall there being an outcry about whom the Bush and Company consulted and now I see shades of the Dems doing the same thing. So some may say turn about is fair play, or what's good for the goose is good for the gander. Seems a bit like when so many libs cried and whined over special interest associations that Bush had and it was such a bad thing, now they are doing the same thing. I thought this election was about CHANGE. I guess not.

You seemed to miss the main point I was making. Obama has said that he will take ideas from anyone as long as they are good ideas. He's even soliciting your ideas, merc.

Not quite Merc...but you get points for for your attempt.

The CAP is no different from the Heritage Foundation or the American Enterprise Institute

Actually it is more like if Bush were to take advice from Swift Boaters for Truth, than Heritage Foundation. And I don't believe he took advice from either group. So how is this change. Sounds like a huge double standard to me.

Well that's because the people Bush consulted were wrong about EVERYTHING they said. Including God. *sticks tongue out at Merc and wags it*

personally, I think this is a GOOD thing. We need new, progressive ideas in Washington. Who cares where they come from. If they're good ideas, they're good ideas.
