Soros aims to bankroll Bush's defeat in 2004


WASHINGTON (AFP) - Billionaire philanthropist George Soros says his main
goal right now is to get President George W. Bush (news - web sites) out of
office in 2004 "and I'm willing to put my money where my mouth is."

"It's the central focus of my life" Soros said in an interview published in
the Washington Post on Tuesday a day after he gave five million dollars to
MoveOn.org a left-wing group dedicated to combatting the US president's
policies.

Soros who has donated more modest sums to Democratic candidates in the
past had already given 10 million dollars in August to "America Coming
Together" or ACT a new group which says it aims to mobilize voters to
"defeat George W. Bush and elect progressive candidates all across America."


"If necessary I would give more money" Soros said.


"America under Bush is a danger to the world" the 74-year-old Soros
declared adding that Bush is "leading the US and the world toward a vicious
circle of escalating violence." Therefore he said the 2004 presidential
vote is "a matter of life and death."


Soros worth an estimated seven billion dollars according to the daily
said Bush's words recall the type of rhetoric used when he was growing up in
German-occupied Hungary.


"When I hear Bush say 'You're either with us or against us' it reminds me
of the Germans" he said.
