I can understand why the puffer post forgot to mention Tom Steyer, the Sandlers, George Soros and all the other demoscat billionaires who contribute to demoscats.

That would destroy their myth that the Koch brothers are singlehandedly destroying the US electoral system buying elections.

Btw, you'll find the hated News Corp contributed much more to demoscats than Republicans!

104 News Corp $12,581,918 59% 39%

Yep, the owners of Fox New and Wall Street Journal contributes more to demoscats...much more!

Also, the 2 top contributors, #s 1 and 2, contributed 100% to demoscats...nothing to Republicans!

Now here's a list of the top 155 campaign contributors and how much they've contributed....and to which party.

No need to be in a bad mood, its a great time for you as its the 10 days every 2 years Republicans actually give a damn about your pion (non 7-10 net worth) existence. Make sure you go out there and get your vote in...their counting on their ads entering every orifice of your mind.

"The first half of October has seen continued Republican gains with $71 million doled out by these groups compared to just $39 million for Democrats."

Damn Koch money, when are those gangsters gonna stop slanging it in the streets.

You've got it wrong, terribly wrong.

The Koch brothers aren't going to stop until every Socialist is run out of government.

They've set up a foundation with billions in funding to continue ripping Socialists of all stripes long after they're dead and buried.

Their policy position is that the only "good Socialist" is a Socialist who has emigrated.

Pure unadulterated hypocrisy!

You have no problem with George Soros, the Sandlers, Tom Steyer, Buffett, Gates, the Joyce Foundation, labor unions and a long, long list of leftist billionaires trying to buy American elections.

I know you're not awake. You missed the fact the Koch brothers are only 60th on the list of big campaign contributors.

I am aware there is money on both sides. I am also aware that the one mention of the Koch brothers does not represent their spending at all realistically. They have several "dark money" groups with their fingers in many pies.

Personally though I detest their intentions, I believe the Kochs are mere figureheads/scapegoats for the true extent of lobbying/buying of government. The Rockefellers seldom get much publicity but they are still in there, and on both sides of the fence...The very visibility of these "influences" is the sign of their impending demise. And the 2010 Cal races proved the public is not so easily fooled.

Yep, it's all a great conspiracy to keep the little people down, to keep them powerless so elitists can rule the world. Yep! Check!

The hypocrisy comes in when the leftist fringe don't want to talk about their billionaire campaign funders funding every far left lunatic fringe group...as George Soros, Tom Steyer, the Sandlers, Gates and other billionaire leftists have been doing for years.

Nope, it's the Koch brothers leftists want to talk about and therein lies the hypocrisy of the radical lunatic fringe left.
