Yes, that too was mentioned in the article. Trump raised 64% through small donations, Sanders 58%, Obama 44%, and Clinton 22%.

I would prefer that only people eligible to vote for a nominee by able to donate to a campaign or even comment on it.

As far as donating to a campaign, I could support that. It would depend on the specifics of the legislation, of course, but as a general principle, yes, it sounds good.

As far as commenting? Seems like there would be serious First Amendment issues with that. It doesn’t seem like a good idea to me.

Ireland can do what Ireland wants, but after the Citizens United decision, it would be tough to stop it now in the US.

Again, if you don’t think Soros’s ethnicity doesn’t play a part in the campaign against him in Hungary, then you’re willfully blind. And as to his activities elsewhere, again, providing he abides by the rules, I think it’s fine to criticize his views, but the level of hysteria here and other right wing sites does really trigger unease for me, and that’s where the “blame the Jew” aspect comes from, because he seems to be portrayed as some Machiavellian spider trying to rule the world. I see no right wing outrage at similar strategies used by right wing billionaires.

He’s just a guy with a lot of money who wants to spend it on the causes he feels are worthy. You can disagree with those causes, but he is neither evil nor satanic, and the level of hysteria on CAF from the social conservative camp I find very distasteful, and pretty darned uncharitable.

you are the only one blaming the Jew by your own comment.

Commenting was probably the wrong word. I should have used advertising or something to describe activity such as the $17 million poured into Ireland to “help” people change their minds about SSM

i don’t think it should be allowed either, and this is how they are spreading progressivism around the world.

Cool. As long as you hold the Mercers and the Kochs and Richard Mellon Scaife to the same standard.
 
Snopes is a liberal site and biased in their assessments,not reliable
 
Do you have a problem with the article? Actual facts to bring to bear?
 
Like I said snopes isn’t a reliable source.Ever notice how anything progressive or liberal they support as fslse.Anything negative re Trump etc is always accurate according to them

Yes, they drag their heels and prevent overzealous progressives from committing huge blunders in their run to be progressive. The progressive eugenics movement, and communism, being great examples
 
As Chesterton said, "The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of the Conservatives is to prevent the mistakes from being corrected.” – ILN, 4/19/24

If you filter out their equivocation and rationalization, they confirm Soros gave 33m to the groups.
So the claim is completely true, not mixed. Nobody said he wrote personal checks.
