George Soros Masterminded McCain-Feingold?

WorldNetDaily recently broke the story that George Soros is funding both sides of the 2008 presidential election. It’s not a surprise that he’s supporting Hillary and Obama, but many are surprised to learn that he’s also funding Republican John McCain’s campaign via the Reform Institute.

Ann Coulter, in her column last week outlined how she believes McCain-Feingold paved the way for McCain to become the Republican nominee in 2008.

Now, in an interview with WorldNetDaily, Richard Poe, co-author of The Shadow Party with David Horrowitz, explains:

George Soros used Sen. John McCain to push for limits on issue advertising by grassroots groups because he was upset over the cataclysmic failure of Hillarycare, the all-encompassing government health care program proposed during Bill Clinton’s first term as president…Money paid to the Reform Institute rewarded McCain for pushing the McCain-Feingold Act, a law which restricts the ability of grassroots groups to advertise on television, while allowing major media free rein to promote their favorite Democrat candidates.

As we’ve written about previously, when the liberals found they could not force their agenda on America through legal channels, they turned to the corporations to do their work for them, with greater success.

Hillary, Soros and other Democrats blamed the defeat of Hillarycare on television advertising and, as a result, Soros resolved to choke off access to the TV airwaves to those opponents…(More Hillary’s sinister plan to ration healthcare, and Arriana Huffington’s Shadow Conventions, here.)
