No kidding my friend. The left gives it a catchy name....Dark Money...and it becomes the biggest cause. The dark money on the left? I am sure it is there as well. As long as they are winning, they are looking the other way...

I wonder why George Soros, the Trial Lawyer's Association, and all of the Wall Street financial support does not bother libs, but the Koch Brothers do?

Here is a list of the top individual political donors (which liberals always ignore, as they are based in nonsense and emotion, rather than fact).

Bloomberg is #2 and Soros is #9. The evil, nasty Koch Brothers are #23! Can liberals be more dense?
George Soros is about as dark and evil as you can get. Hates all things America.

That money can come from outside your state / county of residence. Funny, you have a problem with illegals voting, but no problem with outside money.
I know that I do, but I don't recall you being upset when Obama flat out, out spent Romney 2012. It's a disgrace that we allow big business to dictate our elections. Voting party line certainly won't change it, no will unconditional support of a party because it is your party. Not saying that you do, I'm saying for example. There are far too many party hardliners in this country. I swear they carry a little Red Book of quotes.

Plenty more...

Takeaway:

When Koch's spend $290 million on winning elections, what kind of sorry excuse for a Democracy / Republic / whatever is left?
and say goodbye and good riddance to the Soro's congress

Yeah, the same ones that are behind the big evolution exhibit at the Smithsonian, HUGE PBS donors, support gay rights and are big supporters of the NY Opera and other cultural venues.

But shhhhhh.....lets not talk about that .

Not really. After the last 6 years there's nothing left inside the wallet.
