Soros Five-Year Plan: Spend More

George Soros recently emphasized to a group of 70 millionaires and billionaires the importance of patience and the use of investing in liberal think tanks, media outlets and leadership schools to compete with conservatives.

Georgie is missing one rather large point: the reason conservative radio stations and think tanks work is because they are practically the only avenue conservatives have to get out their ideas. Further, people like those ideas, so they pay attention.

When Democrats already have nearly every media outlet to spread its ideas (or more accurately, lack thereof), it doesn't need a new Moveon.org or Air America.
