Soros says be patient

The Hill reports George Soros told a carefully vetted gathering of 70 likeminded millionaires and billionaires last weekend that they must be patient if they want to realize long-term political and ideological yields from an expected massive investment in “startup” progressive think tanks.... Ingersoll denied that progressives are merely trying to replicate Heritage and Fox News.

Charles Johnson blogged At a highly secretive meeting of “progressives” in Scottsdale, Arizona, George Soros began laying long-term plans to use his vast wealth to tilt US politics to the far left

andthenblammo! commented Any word whether these were distributed to the faithful for recognition purposes?

realwest commented Typical LLL response to problems: throw money at it. God forbid they should actually try to analytically think about the problems at hand. I hope Soros loses another 50 or 100 million bucks on the mid-term elections.

Blue Chip commented They’re deluding themselves. They have money, name recognition and a fanatical base that hates GWB. What they don’t have is ideas. They’ve been riding a majority (in congress or control of the WH) for so long, now that they are truly out of power, they haven’t a clue how to come in from the cold. They think they can spend their way back in. Here’s a hint: Stop walking/running further into the wilderness. Your party has been hijacked by the left wing and moderate dems are treated like dirt. Stop letting Howard Dean/George Soros/Michael Moore drive the bus. You’re going over a cliff…….

Clayton Cramer: blogged The Billionaires Are Busily Plotting Behind Closed Doors Again - Whenever rich people get together, you can be sure that they will be figuring some way to fund leftist causes, so that they don't have to worry about Aspen and Sun Valley getting crowded with the riff-raff like you and me

Yes, be patient. Maybe in 40 years the pendulum will swing back to the left.
