I'm sure you expect us to believe from 1989 to 2012 the Koch's only spent ~12.6 million dollars in political donations.

That listing does not include undisclosed contributions and money going to super PACs.

Among your many flaws, reading comprehension is right up there...Didn't you read that the Kochs are "donating" $889 MILLION?

So what? It's their money and if it keeps the likes of your ilk at bay more fucking power to them. You sit and moan about this and want to turn a blind eye Obama and Co takes millions also. Your argument is skewed

And that $889 billion is on top of what they buy through lobbyist which is other than Citizens United, has enabled Big Money contributors to gain control of our government's agenda.

How Corporate Lobbyists Conquered American Democracy
Something is out of balance in Washington. Corporations now spend about $2.6 billion a year on reported lobbying expenditures—more than the $2 billion we spend to fund the House ($1.18 billion) and Senate ($860 million). It’s a gap that has been widening since corporate lobbying began to regularly exceed the combined House-Senate budget in the early 2000s.
Today, the biggest companies have upwards of 100 lobbyists representing them, allowing them to be everywhere, all the time. For every dollar spent on lobbying by labor unions and public-interest groups together, large corporations and their associations now spend $34. Of the 100 organizations that spend the most on lobbying, 95 consistently represent business.

Unfortunately, some people think this is a good thing and support Big Money influencing our government. But the US government is our in name only. It's really Big Money's government, which means Big Money's agenda supersedes the will of the people.
This isn't what our Founding Fathers intended at all.

Well when the Democrat voters care about their party and does something about it. Instead of wailing about the Republicans...we might be able to get something done about it
doubtful, but it's worth a shot,

You will note that what I posted didn't point fingers at any specific ideology.
I am against Big Money controlling our government, period. Both parties have become slaves to Big Money, they win and America, as a whole loses.
And yes, I put Soros on the same plain as I put the Koch brothers.

The amount of money promised by the Koch brothers to "buy" the next election cycle, is STAGGERING.......Can anyone (with a straight face) actually state that the Kochs will not be asking for anything back from those corrupted politicans whom they'll help gain office? Thanks to the Supreme Court, the brothel that is D.C. has gotten even sleazier......
Who will benefit? Cable stations and local channels, printers, conference halls, etc.
And who will lose? Common citizens, including the right wing, ultra conservative dimwits ....
Koch brothers set 889 million budget for 2016

WASHINGTON — Top officials in the Koch brothers' political organization Monday released a staggering $889 million budget to fund the activities of the billionaires' sprawling network ahead of the 2016 presidential contest.
The budget, which pays for everything from advertising and data-gathering technology to grass-roots activism, was released to donors attending the annual winter meeting of Freedom Partners Chamber of Commerce, according to an attendee.

What exactly are they buying?

Don't just say "the US government".

Tell us what they are buying and what they are going to do with it.

Well, they're buying Scott Walker for one.....You see, if you're a whore, eventually you're gonna have to pay your pimps back for placing you on that particular corner...

Soros is Obama's pimp and you're bawling about the Koch brothers? You can't see the forest for the trees

In case you need some arithmetic help, almost $900 millions is LARGER than $25,000.....Just trying to be of help to you.


(Reuters) - Billionaire financier George Soros, a major Democratic donor, is backing an effort to persuade former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to run for president in 2016, a spokesman said on Thursday.
Soros, 83, has pledged $25,000 to political action committee Ready For Hillary, the largest and best-funded independent group backing a potential Clinton candidacy

HAHAAHAHAHA The Nutty Professor honestly believes that? It's no wonder I don't (and never have) taken you serious.

WOW. I'm truly, really, painfully, unconscionably hurt that you don;t take me serious..LOL

What's with the "chief" label??? Folks like you just cannot seem to hide your red necks and racism....regardless how pissed off you get when someone calls you on it.

I'm "trembling" with either fear or laughter...Which one do you think, Irish?

The projections from the Clinton campaign is they will raise 2 billion this election cycle, more than Obama and Romney raised, combined.

At least Hillary is common folk like us, she drives around in her cute little van, she is something special.

(Although Romney lost,) let me add to that list, voters who voted against their own best interests.

Proof that money wins elections.

Each Koch brother can give up to $2700 per election, primary and general to a candidate. That's $5400 times 2 = $10,800, hardly enough to buy anybody.
