If I were one of the Koch brothers, In order for these candidates to earn my millions, I would force these Hot Republican Honeys to gracefully walk down a gigantic marble staircase in cocktail gowns and cha-cha heels while Ted Nugent croons âA Pretty Girl Is Like A Melodyâ. Thatâll prove their fucking loyalty. And Rand Paul would look sooooo darling in an Audrey Hepburn-inspired strapless Givenchy creation!
Charlie and Daveâs vision:
Turning the US in to Al-KochistanâŚ
with a greedy dumb guy as their Puppet.

That arrogant grin just makes my skin crawl when I think of the damage these âmega corporate predatorsâ are, will and have done to the community of the United States.
I think what the Democrats need more than mega corporate donors is some mega refocusing on the progressive values we all thought they had and get off their a$$es and support their candidates. I have never been so disappointed in my political party of choice since I started voting. They did almost nothing the last election to stir up the public, they have turned their back on our President so many times I am surprised he even recognizes their faces. They are not vociferous in defending and countering the nonsense of the Tea Party or the GOP candidates, many of who truly demonstrate some pretty severe mental health issues. They donât fight any of the influence of the Corporate Religion take over or the rewriting of the history of our country.
That smug grin on Charles Kochâs face is because he knows the Democratic party is so awed by their grandiose spending that they have become impotent in defending the voters that support them.

Now that SCOTUS supports the idea of corporations being people, the Koch Boys are backing a conglomerate as their preferred choice for President.

like good magicians they have you watch the shiny coin du jour and please ignore the man behind the curtainâŚ
The old guys are probably getting bore BJs that they know what to do with.
Think of how many poor people they could be feeding with that money.
What a couple of loathsome individuals. Sunk neck deep in delusion as well.

I keep having this crazy dream where a billionaire keeps a whole stable of Reps and Senators well-funded and electable in exchange for unwavering adherence to their one and only core principle - removing money from politics.
Maybe, instead of focusing on how clearly evil these brothers are, we should be focusing on the total lack of effective backlash from the worldâs more âmoralâ billionaires. Climate change efforts arenât going to work well, Mr Gates, if the party dominating Congress has a strong constituency who believe climate change is disproved by a single snowstorm - and if the people with a vested interest in that sort of lie are reinforcing that lie with money.
Koch brothers: âWe just like to dangle a huge shitload of money in front of people to see who jumps the highest. Very amusing. With billions, you can buy anybody.â

Just this announcement alone cost the Kochâs $42 million.
What they did though is to signal to their network and other like-minded donors that they prefer Walker. That was their intent.
With some libertiesâŚ
Charles Koch: Pay up, David. Iâve won the bet.
David Koch: Here, one dollar.
Charles Koch: [chuckling] We took a perfectly useless psychopath like Walker, and turned him into a successful executive. And during the same time, we turned an honest, hard-working state into a Union-busted cesspool of employment stagnation!
[laughs]

Eggs-cellent idea. The Kochs will have Smithers attend to it directly.
Minions like Smithers are,of course, vitally important to the vetting process, particularly the innoculation and neutering programs. So far only Scott Walker has been put thru the full gauntlet, but the Kochs are concerned that Walkerâs polling appears about as promising as a minor role in Frozen. So, they have tasked their minions to inform all candidates for the Republican partyâs nomination for president as to which of them, in the Kochsâ view, has even a snowballâs chance in a blast furnace at gaming entry into their wallets, and what degradations and humiliations will be required of them in pursuit of the Kochsâ blessings and full support against the monstrous Hillary Clinton.

Whats funny is that as much money as the Kochs and other throw @ GOP candidates they still lose b/c the GOP platform is a historical failure each and every time and voters remember.

Kochâs funding plan comes with a catch: The candidates have to live in a Big Brother style house and be watched 24-7. Kochâs network turns it into a PPV series and make the money back pronto.
Sounds like the Koch Brothers are cruising the lineup at the Cherry Patch Ranch.

Do we really need to reflect back their fantasy that they are kingmakers? They wasted half a billion dollars in the last election cycle.
