so Josh Israel posted this piece last
the last week February 10th or on Think Progress about the Koch brothers knew he
was
there they're doing some a big green washing blue washy not know what you
call it
were friendly blue wash in I guess David Koch in an interview last
December three months ago he said and I quote
basically I'm basically a libertarian I'm a conservative on economic matters
and I'm a social liberal
really so
but say same-sex marriage are you in favor same-sex yeaa his
you know me. socially liberal easy's fine with same-sex marriage
so where his money go
%uh the 265
federal elected officials who benefited from coke
tied money according to this article on think progress on him
and her only 510
but if it 530
5 others 435 members the house representatives as a hundred members in
the senate
and then arguably the vice president you know who can play the
tiebreaking run the senate so 530 his father 35 elected officials
265 of them
got money from the Koch brothers that right
of the top the head you know bang there should be a
what this is a democracy
anyhow I love those 265 federal officials who got coke money
253 of them were opposed to gay marriage
to marriage equality only 12 were in favor of gay marriage
they gave 27 million dollars that we know of
to those candidates who are opposed to gay marriage
they gave four hundred thousand dollars to those officials for
gay marriage hmm or
reproductive rights right
shoes right to life right or
whatever you wanna call it are you in favor of a woman being able to choose to
have an abortion
why are you in favor of the state's same to that woman no you may not have an
abortion
they say they're liberal on this issue
apparently you know if i if i'm too
understand this article correctly well
they spent ninety thousand dollars are supporting nine abortion rights
supporters
ten thousand dollars per supporter roughly but I've the 256 federal if
elected officials who got money from the Koch brothers the jury 65 they got money
256 have them
got twenty seven million dollars and they opposed to abortion rights
so what's going on here
is we have and and it goes on and on I mean you even go through issue after
issue after issue
what the Koch brothers are fun Dane are harder
right candidates who want the government to be big enough
to getting your bedroom who want the government to be big enough to get into
a woman's uterus who want the government to be big enough
to to you know basically regulate our lives to say who can and can't get
married
who you know when can a person die all those kinds of issues
but that doesn't matter he and he even if the key and I&I
take them at their word that David and Charles Koch R libertarians that they
think that
these really are not the proper role of government but mostly they think that
the proper role of government is not to bother them
it's not too takes is not to take any of their income in the form of taxes
is not to tell them how much pollution georgia-pacific and dump in the waters
are how much
how much but pollution Koch Industries can pump into the air
or how much carbon they can get out of the ground and what they should pay for
it
that's really the agenda to economic agenda
and such as
the Koch brothers as I said it's although there you know when
when two brothers the second richest family in America
are talking about raising and spending in the neighborhood of a billion dollars
in a presidential year
you have to ask yourself is America a democracy any longer
could it be at the Koch brothers are actually secret liberals
and they're doing this just because everybody to go oh my god this is
this isn't democracy so that a groundswell love support
for rolling back citizens united will happen could it be I don't think so I
think they really think that Americans are that dumb
particularly quote conservative republican-american
be really believed
that they can get people to vote further economic interest by pitch in them
things like God
guns gays in brits right that senator
to mangled Arby's too tired
but the only really I apparently in my pin
