I AM A PERSON, A VOTER, A CITIZEN. I HAVE RIGHTS. Every American I know personally would benefit from MORE corporate federal regulations and MORE corporate federal taxes.
Who are you trying to convince that you are an actual person ? Me or yourself?
You attack your opponents, for attacking their opponents. You fail to acknowledge that both sides are engaged in the same thing. Pretty simple hypocrisy.
Did you read the first post of this thread? It pretty much proves what you said wrong.
How can you say anything about FOR THE PEOPLE and the PUBLIC GOOD when you just said you only care about things that are in your own best interest?
A giant hypocrite that had their talking points emailed to them. That's all that post was about. Kind of funny that they don't understand their own talking points and partisan hackery, they just regurgitate it like it's fact.

What! ? ! You conduct a poll of every American you know? Did they all tell HOW federal regulations and taxes would help? Did any say how they would hinder the economy?
Does this somehow begin to sound like a 60's hippie commune?

Smaller govt/no taxes sounds like corporatist hijacking of Constitutional govt
How are corporations bilking US Treasury going to be FOR THE PEOPLE

I don't think liberals have become all that concerned about the Koch brothers. I do think that people have a right to know that the Koch brothers have been involved in a lot of recent political activity, and that they have an agenda.
I would say that in terms of comparison, it seems that the Koch brothers are very focused in opposing Obama, whereas Soros seems very focused in advancing a liberal philosophy. So the brothers seem to have a very specific agenda, and Soros seems to have a very general agenda. That, to me, is a significant distinction.
Aren't they funding your "grass roots" tea party?
Think there might be an agenda involved?
There could be a $62 million agenda (http://docs.cpamerica.org/wtu/koch.pdf - broken link) involved.

Soros is Chairman of the Open Society Institute, a fact he does not hide, but promotes. Does he fund the DNC? No. 527s, yes. Is he open and forthright about his financial contributions to these organizations? Yes. Did he have an agenda when he became an active contributor to those organizations in 2003? Yes -- he stated quite clearly that he would give up his entire personal fortune to defeat George W. Bush. Does he run those 527s at all, let alone hide under cover of pretending to be "grass roots" organizations like the Koch brothers do? No.
I'll take my political activism out in the open as opposed to in secrecy, thankyouverymuch.
If it is "hypocritical" to vote in MY SELF-INTERESTS, then so be it!
If everyone would do the same, instead of being lapdogs for CORPORATE INTERESTS, then we could get Public Campaign Financing passed as law of the land, and then candidates would just be working for American PEOPLE, instead of corporate interests
