"Overnight, Soros, 74, has become the major financial player of the left. He has elicited cries of foul play from the right. And with a tight nod, he pledged: "If necessary, I would give more money." </NITF> <NITF>"America, under Bush, is a danger to the world," Soros said. Then he smiled: "And I'm willing to put my money where my mouth is."</NITF> <NITF>Soros believes that a "supremacist ideology" guides this White House. He hears echoes in its rhetoric of his childhood in occupied Hungary. "When I hear Bush say, 'You're either with us or against us,' it reminds me of the Germans." It conjures up memories, he said, of Nazi slogans on the walls, Der Feind Hort mit ("The enemy is listening"). "My experiences under Nazi and Soviet rule have sensitized me," he said in a soft Hungarian accent. </NITF> <NITF>Soros's contributions are filling a gap in Democratic Party finances that opened after the restrictions in the 2002 McCain-Feingold law took effect. In the past, political parties paid a large share of television and get-out-the-vote costs with unregulated "soft money" contributions from corporations, unions and rich individuals. The parties are now barred from accepting such money. But non-party groups in both camps are stepping in, accepting soft money and taking over voter mobilization. </NITF> <NITF> <A href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A24179-2003Nov10?language=printer">http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A24179-2003Nov10?language=printer</A><hr SIZE=1> Do you Yahoo!? <a href="http://antispam.yahoo.com/whatsnewfree">Protect your identity with Yahoo!
