Koch Brothers 59th in political donations

[NightFox]

Not here to defend Soros but if the actions of the tea party congressmen are to be laid at the Koch's feet, and they do have some responsibility in this, then the answer is at least one.

IMHO That would be silly, the actions of any person are their responsibility alone, if the Koch Brothers wish to bribe..er donate to a particular politician with strings attached it's the politicians responsibility whether he/she takes it or not and what he/she decides to do afterwards.

"A King may move a man, a father may claim a son, but remember that even when those who move you be Kings, or men of power, your soul is in your keeping alone. When you stand before God, you cannot say, "But I was told by others to do thus." Or that, "Virtue was not convenient at the time." This will not suffice. Remember that. " -- King Baldwin IV, Kingdom of Heaven

In our greedy nation it is easy to find people who will do anything for money, if a gangster hires a hit man is he blameless when the hit man blows someone's head off?

Your analogy isn't quite accurate since contracting someone to commit murder is conspiracy to commit a crime (which is in an of itself both immoral and criminal), a politician accepting a donation isn't a crime, a politician carrying out his/her duties in a way that favors those giving said donations is breach of the public trust carried out solely by said politician.

If a billionaire has pet politicians is he blameless if the pets do what they are told?

Nobody said anything about "blameless", however the billionaire can't be held accountable for the actions of his pet politicians, since said billionaire simply exerts influence through his/her donations. Don't get me wrong though I think the whole exercise of influence peddling by those controlling the levers of state power is completely immoral but as I said each person is wholly responsible for his/her own actions in this context.

Then OUTLAW IT. Simple, right?

Well we at least used to have a handle on it until the Citizen's United decision that dumbasses like you cheered for. You can bet the Kochs saw it as a victory for them but not America. The door has been slammed so hard on We The People knowing who is buying political power in this nation that it will take a constitutional amendment to make it right again, yay conservative values!!!

Why just pick on the Koch's? And what is WRONG with Citizen's United?

Do YOU support what he said, and do YOU chastise Obama for LYING?

Blast from the past..

Not at all, hater dupe- Campaign donations are not what the Kochs, Adelson, etc are all about, though the Post found that the Kochs controlled 400 billion in PAC donations. They fund all the GW deniers and most the BS Pub orgs, bs institutes, and your propaganda machine...The Examiner, DC Times etc etc. And their motives suq- pollution, screw the workers and the poor, cut their own taxes and raise them on the nonrich. Pub dupes...

OP- CLASSIC DISTRACTION FOR THE DUPES.

 

[francoHFW]

And there's no EVIDENCE of any harassment of the TP GOP- TOTAL PUBCRAPPE, FOR DUPES ONLY.

Those Koch brothers are also very high up on the list of those who donate to PBS, the darling network of the liberal left. Strangely, though, the liberals don't seem to distrust PBS despite their having accepted so much of what the Marxist Majority of The Democrat Party see as "tained" money.

Worse, they even let their children watch those Koch-slanted programs and put them at risk of conservative indoctrination.

Where is Child Protective Services when liberals need them most?
