Billionaires Join Soros to Defeat Bush George Soros says he would pony up his $7 billion fortune if it could defeat George Bush this November. Soros has already donated tens of millions to groups like MoveOn.org and left-wing "527s" to defeat Bush. But Soros is not the only billionaire who has a passionate hatred for George Bush. MoveOn recently reported that Peter B. Lewis, chairman of Progressive Corp., has already given $1.5 million to the group. Lewis is so anxious to help MoveOn he now promises to match the amount contributed to MoveOn by any contributor, 50 cents for each dollar donated up to $20,000. Progressive (you’ve seen their TV commercials) is the nation's third-largest auto insurer. Lewis started as a local Cleveland car insurer. Today his Progressive does about $9 billion in sales a year. Then there's Hollywood billionaire Stephen Bing. He just donated a cool $1 million to MoveOn. Bing, described by Mother Jones as a "notorious playboy," is best known as a mega-bucks supporter of Bill Clinton and father of actress Liz Hurley's child, Damien.
