1. This is outrageously shocking!

Nah, now that I think about it, it's pretty predictable. They have no shame anymore, they stand for $$$ and they want us to know.

5. Romney is just running for David Koch by proxy anyway.

Rmoney has no substantive brain/mind of his own. He is a mere game piece for the Kochs. Just look into his hollow eyes!!
Yet this move--of David openly revealing himself--puts President Obama at an advantage.
The Democrats should ask the voters: just WHO is running for election and who's agenda will be in place should Romney win? So far Rmoney has not revealed a clear agenda--is this because there is a hidden agenda to be put in place should the Repuks win?? I think there is!! The Dems should be using words like; "hidden agenda, reveal, who is the real candidate, why have the Kochs and other billionaires invested so much money in Rmoney etc. etc. etc.
If it's one thing the public fears it's the UNKNOWN and believe me their objectives for increasing their revenues by increasing our taxes and lowering theirs IS not known by us. They don't need the money but they crave the power, the pleasure in enslaving and controlling the masses etc....

9. Just think of Romney, Boehner, et al. as puppets

When you see their mouths moving, it is Koch or Adelson or some other multi-billionaire working the puppet's mouth and doing the ventriloquist act from behind the curtain.

6. Out in the open now: the Koch's created the JBS/CT/Paulistas, the Tea Party and Libertarians.

They can just change the face of the GOP to their own, since that's what it's been for half a century anyway. They're not afraid because they have bamboozled all of these groups into fighting for them. They're just coming out from behind the curtain now.

The illusion of freedom (in America) will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.
