Why don't the Republicans get their Savior to buy the Nationals?
The Republican Party is all a flitter at the possibility that U.S. citizen, George Soros may buy the Nationals baseball team in DC.

The Republican Party's "True" savior was in town speaking at the Reagan Building yesterday.You can read about it in his "Independent" propaganda paper. (The article appears to be cribbed straight from a recent Moon org. press release. )

Moon owns soccer teams around the world to help him gain acceptance, particularly in South America. Why didn't the Republicans ask their "True" savior to buy the team while he was in town?

Maybe the non-citizen, Moon, could use some of the money his organization swindled from the Japanese to buy the Nationals. It would be less than the billions he spent bringing them to power.

I here sports teams are great for laundering money. Republicans could sure use another source of cash. :)

Brazil: Money Laundered in Soccer

The Church of the Holy Spirit for the Unification of World Christianity — better known as the Moonies for the name of their leader, South Korean Sun Myung Moon — is making hefty investments in Brazilian soccer to distract attention from reports throughout the world that it is involved in money-laundering, tax evasion and other crimes, O Globo newspaper report in early March.

In Brazil, the Moonies cult has two football teams, the Deportivo Nueva Esperanza of Mato Grosso do Sul, where in addition it owns 800,000 hectares (1,976,000 acres) and Socoraba, a Sao Paulo team in which it invested for five years until the team made the first division.

The Secretary of Federal Tax Collections of Brazil has accused the religious organization of tax evasion for 31 million reales (US$10.7 million) annually, sponsorship of illegal immigration and money laundering for $480 million reales ($165 million).

According to O Globo, the Moonies plans to manage 12 soccer teams around the world, which would add to its multi-million investments in sectors such as metallurgy, pharmaceuticals, hotels, livestock, in addition to owning the US newspaper Washington Times and the Latin American weekly Tiempos del Mundo.

1. Maybe Bush can buy the team, get DC to build him an even bigger stadium
and keep the profits, courtesy of the taxpayers.

It worked for him with Arlington.

3. They don't lose. They are winning.
Its just that the media puts such a negative spin on things that it seems like they are losing.

Even if the final score after all nine innings is 32-0, that doesn't indicate a loss. Its all in how it spun. And the press has it in for the administraiton, so of course they are going to call it a loss.

But they aren't reporting on the quality of the game. How come they don't talk about all the good plays that were made by the team? They just talk about the loss, not the strike that the pitcher threw in the 4th inning...

7. Reagan used Moon to spy on U.S. citizens
Now that is the real "Republican" national pastime.

http://www.consortiumnews.com/archive/moon7.html

Spying on Americans
Perhaps even more remarkable, the Reagan administration showed greater respect for Moon's constitutional rights than those of some U.S. citizens. Starting in 1981, the FBI cooperated with one of Moon's front groups during a five-year nationwide investigation of the Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador (CISPES), a domestic organization critical of Reagan's policies in Central America, according to FBI documents cited by The Boston Globe. (April 20, 1988)

In 1981, the FBI began collecting reports from Moon's Collegiate Association for the Research of Principles (CARP) which was spying on CISPES supporters. Those reports came from CARP members at 10 university campuses around the United States and included the purported political beliefs of Reagan's critics. One CARP report called a CISPES supporter "well-educated in Marxism" while other CARP reports attached "clippings culled from communist-inspired front groups."

The Globe reported that Frank Varelli, who worked for the FBI from 1981-84 coordinating the CISPES probe, said an FBI agent paid members of the Moon organization at Southern Methodist University while the Moon activists were raiding and disrupting CISPES rallies. "Every week, an agent I worked with used to go to SMU to pay the Moonies," Varelli said in an interview. Because of the CARP harassment, CISPES closed its SMU chapter.

8. Yeah, it's not like American Rupert Murdoch bought the Dodgers from
the O'Malleys or anything like that.

The freakin' Dodgers. That's a real franchise.
