The trouble is people and organizations like the koch brothers can hide their donations in loopholes in the citizens united ruling
 
OMG

The evil Koch brothers didn't even make the list

Please...in 2012 they spend over $400 million on political elections and now we're supposed to believe they haven't even spent $5 million??? That's Dark Money for you...
 
Here's a nifty little app that helps you see who is buying what .... er, whom.

Simply use your phone to scan a product's barcode, or just search by individual company or product, and you can quickly see the political contributions of each company's CEO, Board of Directors, political action committees and employees. Simply put, BuyPartisan empowers consumers with awareness of the true impact of the campaign spending by the companies behind the products we all buy every day.

The reason why the Koch brothers aren't on that list is because they donate money through their 501c groups - which, of course, aren't required to track where that money came from.
 
When one views special interest lobbying group participation in funding elections one can only assume the vast majority if not all of our esteemed elected representatives can be bought, and are.The Koch brothers are minor league players in comparison. As for the claim that they hide their contributions is absurd to say the least. Reid and his minions at the IRS have them in their sights so wheres your proof?

Bullshit. The Koch brothers spend their money through PACs. You tards are comparing apples to oranges.

The $20 million individual donation is a drop in the bucket compared to the Koch brothers spending $125 million through just one PAC alone.

So I guess that is why the far left will ignore Buffet and Soros..

The Koch brothers were mentioned in the OP. The claim made was easily refuted by me.
 
2012: George Soros Totally Bailed On Democrats This Election

Rumors abound about his true motivations, and have spawned a cottage industry of conspiracy theories about how Soros is attempting to influence American politics with his enormous fortune.

But here's the weird thing: He's not. Not this election, at least.

In the 2012 election, when Citizens United has made unlimited donations more possible than ever, Soros has been very, very quiet at the time when Democrats arguably need him most.
 
From 2010:
Below is the Center for Responsive Politics‘ analysis federal political activity by Soros and the Kochs.

VERDICT: When it comes to the combination of institutional lobbying, 527 group donations and PAC expenditures, Koch Industries far out-spends Soros’ hedge fund and think tank, $57.4 million to $12.8 million. Most of this money is attributable to lobbying expenditures.

Typical far left poster..
 
Americans for Prosperity — the group backed by David H. and Charles G. Koch that has been pouring millions of dollars into competitive Senate races to the rising alarm of Democrats — was also among the politically active groups on the ground in this month’s special House election on Florida’s Gulf Coast.

Americans for Prosperity turned the Florida contest into its personal electoral laboratory to fine-tune get-out-the-vote tools and messaging for future elections as it pursues its overarching goal of convincing Americans that big government is bad government.

As the group emerges as a dominant force in the 2014 midterm elections, spending up to 10 times as much as any major outside Democratic group so far, officials of the organization say their effort is not confined to hammering away at President Obama’s Affordable Care Act
