If there's one thing the rw's hate, its wealthy people who care about this country and their fellow citizens.
Amazingly, even the middle and poor rw's want to vote against equal rights and equal opportunity for themselves, their children, their neighbors and the rest of the country.
Their mindless hate has completely blinded them to truth and reality. MittRyan (Bush's Brain) laughs at them and they wanna go vote for him. Go figure.
If there's one thing the rw's hate, its wealthy people who care about this country and their fellow citizens.
why do you demonize David Koch?.....that guy has donated quite a bit of money to help out his fellow Citizens......

Medical research
In 1992, Koch was diagnosed with prostate cancer. He underwent radiation, surgery, and hormone therapy, but the cancer returned every time.

At least their entire lives aren't dedicated to evil.
Warren Buffet gives billions.
Bill Gates gave 28 billion.
Those guys were actually trying to make the world a better place. Not just give a few million so right wingers would have something to point at besides just doing evil. I don't see Buffet or Gates holding back millions of barrels of oil to force the cost of oil in this country to go up just so they could make a "killing".
At least their entire lives aren't dedicated to evil.
