He steered millions of dollars to support a candidate who positions he didn't agree with?

Does anyone believe this?

"Only politicians can "break" with their own party."

another one in need of a civics class?

People join parties. Then become members of those parties. They can break with their parties

Only in the minds of radicals

The Kochs are libertarians, not conservatives.

if you read the article you would see that you are wrong.

I read the article.

Tell me where I'm wrong.

PBS is educational. Wealthy Republicans endorse education for those of their kind. For the Republican base, wealthy Republicans spit on them and use them to win elections. It's pretty obvious.

So, will the GOP continue to be Koch Suckers and also change on the issue?

Or are they going to keep going full retard?

They are going to keep going full retard.

Nothing but one or two more MASSIVE losses like the last two in a row will set them on the right path again.

I don't. It's a ruse.

I don't love him either. His support of marriage equality doesn't erase everything else. I disagree that it is a ruse however. I'm telling you, he's got a gay branch of his family tree is all. It's how it happens for most people.

Even Michelle Bachmann has a gay sibling, as does Newt.

This is his lame attempt to look reasonable. I don't buy it.

I don't get it. I don't get this part at all. And I can rock the cross. Maybe all the years in rock knowing so many from gay and that still pisses me off that I have to class them that way.

They are equal. They are better decorators. And hair, they are superb. How the hell can we not give gays equal status.

OK, My Mercer rant for the day.

Please don't get me wrong. There are so many who view this as a stepping stone to dismantle so many environments (its a whole different agenda that has nothing to do with gays) But they use this as a tool.

There are so many tools being pulled out of the ideological as well as the agenda tool bin now, that it is getting hard to keep up with the type and kind that are to be used next. Yes there are now so many strange bedfellows coming together now, and so what will be the over all outcome in all of this over time I wonder ? First comes the splitting of many groups and/or certain groups, and then the re-grouping of others made out of the many, yet in order to achieve what in the end ?
