Did I miss something? When did Soros become a lover of Liberty..

There has to be a reason behind this... I hate Soros but is it possible for us to agree on this?? lol

My immediate thought is that he sees a market will develop in the future if Prop 19 passes.

Still, does anyone else feel like there's something more sinister behind this??
I can't help but feel that Soros is not to be trusted.

Soros has always been pro-cannabis.

I honestly don't know what to think of it, but he's right, so I'm not going to argue.

Though not a huge fan of this particular bill, it will send a huge message which I support.

Don't let this fool you. Soros is anti-liberty.

 

[JoshLowry]

That's great.

His late public support is for scoring easy political points. There's a reason most bookies won't take a bet on the winner of a football game 30 seconds before it's over.

Better late never I suppose. I doubt he would have donated a million if the polls were different.

 

[nobody's_hero]

Maybe he's trying to use reverse psychology?

 

[Fredom101]

Prop 19 is not pro-liberty.

 

[Cowlesy]

Maybe he looks at weed as SOMA

 

[BenIsForRon]

I think he just likes the adoration of liberals. This will score him some brownie points.

That said, I'm very glad he did it. Prop 19 needs some more support.

 

[JoshLowry]

Nah, this confirms that Prop 19 is passing.

If not I need to re-evaluate what I think of big photo-op type moves like these.

 

[RileyE104]

Prop 19 is not pro-liberty.

How is preventing thousands of people from being locked up not pro-Liberty?

 

[Maximus]

Very happy to see this

Yep. Goes back to when it was a leftist hippie issue.

 

[wormyguy]

Soros supports anything left.

 

[libertybrewcity]

THIS IS EXCELLENT NEWS!

Better a million spent on Prop 19 than a million spent trying to defeat Rand, Angle, Miller, or Buck.

 

[Brett85]

Soros has always supported drug legalization. He supports liberty as long as it's a "left wing liberty." Soros would never support a proposition affirming 2nd amendment rights.

The same could be said, only in reverse, about right-wingers.

More big guns donating to prop 19:

Peter B. Lewis, a retired insurance company executive, recently donated $209,005 to the campaign, and George Zimmer, the founder and CEO of Men’s Wearhouse, recently gave $50,000. Both businessmen
supported past initiatives to change the state’s drug laws.

True. Neither one are really consistent. I'm one of the rare right wingers who would at least decriminalize pot.

 

[silentshout]

Good for him.

Soros will support anything if there is something in it for him .
