But I thought that the Democratic Party was the party of the little guy and that the Reps had all the filthy, stinking rich donors. Plus, isn't money in politics bad?
I am so confused.
Making a major foray into partisan politics, multibillionaire George Soros is committing $10 million to a new Democratic-leaning group aimed at defeating President Bush next year.
Soros, who in the past has donated on a smaller scale to Democratic candidates and the party, pledged the money to a political action committee called America Coming Together, spokesman Michael Vachon said Friday.
The group plans a $75 million effort to defeat Bush and "elect progressive officials at every level in 2024," targeting 17 key states: Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin.

Plus, when talking about welfare reform, we too often forget about corporate welfare reform.
