Billionaire philanthropist George Soros says his main goal right now is to get President George W. Bush out of office in 2004, 'and I'm willing to put my money where my mouth is,' he told The Washington Post. 'It's the central focus of my life,' Soros said in an interview published in the Post on Tuesday, a day after he gave US$5 million to, 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 US$10 million 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 US$7 billion, 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.
