Koch brothers now at heart of GOP power

Washington — The billionaire brothers David and Charles Koch no longer sit outside Washington’s political establishment, isolated by their uncompromising conservatism. Instead, they are now at the center of Republican power, a change most evident in the new makeup of the House Energy and Commerce Committee.

Wichita-based Koch Industries and its employees formed the largest single oil and gas donor to members of the panel, ahead of giants like Exxon Mobil, contributing $279,500 to 22 of the committee’s 31 Republicans, and $32,000 to five Democrats.

Nine of the 12 new Republicans on the panel signed a pledge distributed by a Koch-founded advocacy group — Americans for Prosperity — to oppose the Obama administration’s proposal to regulate greenhouse gases. Of the six GOP freshman lawmakers on the panel, five benefited from the group’s separate advertising and grass-roots activity during the 2010 campaign

Sucking up to corporate America? You lefties have to learn to think for yourselves. Just when you think you are sucking up to the neo-socialist administration Obama fools you again and sucks up to the Chamber of Commerce. Never try to emulate a slick talking lier. Just when you have yourselves convinced that corporate America is the enemy, Obama will switch sides and you will end up looking like fools.

I'll bet on Corporate America any time... private enterprise is what made this country great.
