Koch Brothers 59th in political donations

[natstew]

The Koch Brothers are blamed for almost every evil done in America. To hear it from Democrats they own the Republican Party, bought and paid for, but the reality is Democrat donors far outnumber and out contribute Republican Corporate donors. Unions, that are Corporations under a different name, far out do Koch Brothers in number and amount donated.

No they don't. That list is for direct contributions only. It doesn't include PACs or, more importantly, Super PACs, which is the primary way the Kochs invest their money in political campaigns.

Oh, those evil Koch brothers using their fortune to influence happenings on the political landscape to the tune of $18.0 Million of their own money.

Meanwhile, unions have spent how much of their members' dues trying to accomplish the same thing as the evil brothers?

Six of the top ten donors are unions, totaling $277.6 Million.

Ten of the top fifteen donors are unions, totaling $423.9 Million.

Sure join a union and watch them piss away your money. Dumbasses!

The myth of the Koch Brothers is designed to hide the evil that George Soros does....

"If the Koch-backed efforts hit their fundraising goals this year, they will rival -- and perhaps surpass -- the target of $300 million that American Crossroads and its affiliated nonprofit Crossroads GPS have set for their electoral drives. The two Crossroads groups raised $71 million in 2010 after being set up by GOP strategists Rove and Ed Gillespie in the wake of high court rulings that opened the floodgates for unlimited spending by corporations, individuals and unions on advertising and other electoral tools that directly advocate for candidates."
Beck, "Cowards"


Now.....George Soros:

1. Soros has claimed that he has donated over $7 billion to his Open Society organizations. See if you can find the pattern in this partial list…

a. The Center for Constitutional Rights, founded by four longtime supporters of communist causes. Center for Constitutional Rights - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

b. Various organizations that promote “open borders” and full citizenship rights for illegal aliens.

c. Organizations such as the Sentencing Project, which attacks the American prison system as ‘racist.’

d. The Gamaliel Foundtion and the Midwest Academy, whose radical instructors train political organizers. “Barack has acknowledged publicly that he had been the director of a Gamaliel affiliate.” Michelle Malkin | » Creepy O-cult video of the day: ?Deliver us, Obama!? Updated

e. The Ella Baker Center for Human Rights, founded by self-declared communist Van Jones… “Van Jones’ projects have long been bankrolled by George Soros’ Open Society Institute, which gave $1 million to the Jones-founded Ella Baker Center before becoming a major donor to GFA.” http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printgroupProfile.asp?grpid=7554

You want to tell me between 1989 and 2014...a time span of roughly 24 years...the Koch brothers only donated 18 million dollars? That's about $750,000 a year. Really? Two of the richest people in the world and some of the most politically active in the country and they only give $750,000 a year out of the billions they have at their disposal?

Get real.

No they don't. That list is for direct contributions only. It doesn't include PACs or, more importantly, Super PACs, which is the primary way the Kochs invest their money in political campaigns.

If you're going to challenge me, at least do it with truth. Here, I'll do it for you. You see? PACs are included.

I wonder if Mr. Soros realizes he could have built SEVEN completely screwed up federal government websites with that money.......

Notice the 1st 4 on the list are liberal groups for Democrats.
To hear the Dem's Super PAC's are all for Repubs. When the 1st Super Pac for conservatives is number 5.

What is the very 1st liberal group? A Union. Service Employees International Union ( A Super PAC) # 4.

Watching Liberals smear Koch and defend that Soros is not that same as Koch is comical.

Oh look! In 2011-2012 alone they gave MORE then $18 million...and that still doesn't even include Super PACs!!! LOL

Please...the list you posted doesn't include Super PACs either. It's extremely hard to track who gives what to Super PACs because they're specifically designed to hide the identity of the donors. Believe me, for all the money the Kochs can make off deregulation and lower taxes...they're more then happy to invest much...much...MUCH more then $750,000 a year.

You're posting info on the 2014 donations to Super PACs...which is pretty much worthless because none of the groups has had to report to the IRS yet, which is really about the only way to ever tell exactly how much the Super PACs spend or have.

Remember 2012 when Club for Growth initially said it only spent around 250 million but after the IRS reports came out it was more like 400 million??? Yeah, that's what you're seeing in that link.

The Koch brothers are oil lobbyist that want all government regulation on oil to cease and to have 0% tax rates for their companies and themselves.

This is like the third thread on this and I wonder where the meme is coming from? Is it perhaps some PR drive by some Koch funded entity? The Koch brothers are remarkable not only for the scope of their political activities or the extremist views they espouse but the secrecy with which they cloak the entire enterprise. These men want to be our nation's conscience (or lack of it), they spend billions to influence public policy and still insist that they be treated as private citizens or honest businessmen disinterested in politics. Machiavellian types deserve all the scrutiny we can give them because their motives are never pure.
