Billionaire investor George Soros has re-emerged this election cycle as a major Democratic donor, committing more than $25 million to Hillary Clinton and other party candidates and causes, according to Politico.

Soros spent roughly $27 million in a bid to unseat then-President George W. Bush in 2004 but later scaled back his giving, the website reported. Some associates of the Soros Fund Management chairman told Politico they expect him to give even more as Election Day approaches.

The Hungarian-born financier is worth $24.9 billion, according to Forbes' most recent estimate, and his return as a big-time contributor will be a boon to the party as it seeks to retain control of the White House and regain a majority in the Senate.

Soros advisor Michael Vachon told Politico that Soros "has been a consistent donor to Democratic causes, but this year the political stakes are exceptionally high."

Vachon confirmed to CNBC Politico's report of the roughly $25 million in donations so far this cycle.

Soros' charity, Open Society Foundations, did not respond to CNBC's requests for comment.

Seriously, where do these nut-jobs come from? I would kick them out of my basement, but I guess there is no love stronger than a mother's love.

I don't want billionaires buying my politicians, no matter whose side they're on.

Nor I. But in light of Citizens United, they are going to. I certainly would not want to bring a knife to a gun fight.

Mrs Clinton said she'd fight to overturn Citizens United.

I'm guessing you don't believe her, either?

And we can donate 2700

I think the only donations allowable should be directly from registered voters, and a maximum of $200 in any one election cycle or year. Tax deductible.

This makes a level playing field a reality. Nothing less will suffice to limit the power of the Oligarchy - excuse me, 'donor class'.

Donor class lol
200 sounds good.

That's what they like the media to call them. It's more innocuous than 'democracy thieves', even though that IS exactly what they're doing.

Maybe Hillary can tell them to "knock it off, cut it out!"...

The American People now undeniably know this truth, and for that we can thank the Sanders campaign.

We'll see if anyone can be bothered to pull their head out of their Pokémon long enough to notice, care and do something.

Not likely, a bunch of morons out there ready to sabotage.

Ever think those doing the sabotaging are on the take? NYPD cops caught on camera beating and abusing Occupy Wall St protesters who were in their designated space and non violent? Massive voter fraud throughout the democratic primary process? False flag ops where 'protestors', actually paid operatoves, deliberately commit heinous acts to discredit the movement or organization? Remember ACORN?

I do.
It's just weird that people don't see it. Like ol' buck.

At least it's out in the open now, and that's the first step.

We need to hold government accountable, individually and collectively, at all levels. Bad cops are another example of exactly the same phenomenon.

What slays me is that foreign governments funnel cash into our political process and those who take the money AREN'T hung as traitors.

Preach it!
