Koch Brothers May Back Five Candidates

[DonViejo]

Source: PoliticalWire/USA Today

Charles Koch told USA Today he is “considering throwing his political might into the Republican presidential primary for the first time and is likely to provide financial help to several contenders before settling on a single candidate.”

Koch, his brother David and their team have identified five candidates who have the right message and “a good chance of getting elected.” They are Gov. Scott Walker, Jeb Bush and Sens. Ted Cruz, Rand Paul and Marco Rubio.

“His comments came a day after his brother David Koch lavishly praised Walker during a speech in New York — prompting immediate speculation that the brothers has settled on Walker as their choice. In a statement, David Koch insisted that he was not endorsing anyone.”

1. 5 lapdogs

The only reason you would bet on 5 is to control those 5 on their policy and message.

The 5 candidates are nothing but lapdogs, errand boys. Watch all 5 slowly converge to one single Koch policy. Even fake Libertarian, Rand Paul.

2. Great

We now have a 5 and 1 chance that this U.S. Supreme court if any of these Koch lackeys get into office will totally buy the U.S. Supreme court to return to the Lochner, Slaughterhouse, Dagenhart, Plessy, rulings and many others.

The conservative court (over 150 years) has being placing on the worker, civil rights, wages, child labor and any other item that can screw the public and the worker, society, and the government to completely turn this into a Authoritarian Capitalists society.
Welcome to the new Singapore and China model of Hong Kong.

If this happens, and if the republicans retain both the house and senate lets just say you might as well kiss yourself.

And then there is Scott Walker, the most corrupt, if not the most corrupt out this bunch and why the DOJ has not jumped into his campaign finance issue is beyond me.


And the rest of the clown show from the right are not to far behind and look at what he has and will be doing to Wisconsin----looks like Kansas has moved north---thank you Wisconsin

.

This is just to give a shout-out to the U.S. Supreme court to have completely rigged the voting process in this country and all five of the conservative majority justices should be IMPEACHED.



Again thank you U.S. supreme court for turning this country into a corrupt enterprise for the wealthy to bribe and buy any politician with your Citizen United ruling and also for your total disregard to the First Amendment when it came to Bush vs Gore---again-----thank you

3. I call bullsheets on Mr. Koch.

The Koch Conglomerates hand-picked Walker, installed legislators, State Justices, the State AG, and election officials in key positions to ENSURE Walker's rebuff of the recall, and his "reelection" in WI. They have funded his inter- and intra-continental campaign trips, trucked him around to meet top donors...they're ramrodding him through, and when called on it, they play coy and say they're supporting "the others."

All the facts indicate otherwise.

"But who ya gonna believe, the Kochs or your lying eyes."

5. there are no limits on their spending

the math is simple. spend billions to buy a candidate. said candidate changes laws in your favor and you make all your investment back and then some. it's better than the stock market returns.

thank the asswipes on scotus who sold our democracy.

6. I've suspected that they (Kochs, etc.) fund both Dems and Repugs

in the same races when needed, and then just barely advertise for the Dem, and have the Dem candidate be lame and ineffectual. It really wouldn't surprise me. There's nothing to stop them and how they spend their money, right?
