Wait let me take a guess at your reply....

"But uber rich oil tycoon, Koch brothers, oil pollution tea oil company party bla bla bla my self interest....."
Republican voters screwed us over TWICE with Bush/Cheney. And WHY For WHAT purpose? We would all be better off if GOP voters would please JUST STAY HOME this November. I am serious, we can't take it anymore. This country can't take it anymore

Their political stance makes no difference whatsoever when it comes to making a comparison between how they all spend their money but thanks for playing.

50% or more of the people in this country are saying the same things about Democrats and electing Obama right now, we got screwed and it's time to fix things. I take great pleasure in knowing that liberals hate what's coming in November because that tells me we're heading in the right direction.

Here is an article that explains both and their interests.


Soros and the Koch brothers have all donated to federal political campaigns and committees. While Soros has far out-spent the Koch brothers in donating to 527 groups, especially when considering his incredible $23.7 million in donations to the groups between 2003 and 2004, the Koch brothers have donated more money to federal candidates and committees.

The Koch brothers give almost exclusively to Republicans just as Soros donates predominately to Democrats and Democratic organizations. Overall, Soros has spent $34.24 million and the Kochs have spent $4.06 million. (Note: This study only covers donations to federal candidates - to see donations to state candidates, go to Followthemoney.org and search for Soros and Koch. For example, as Ben Smith of Politico wrote recently, David Koch and his wife have given $74,000 to a Democrat, Andrew Cuomo, New York's State Attorney General.)

Actually, it has everything to do with it. You just aren't equipped to handle that.

Sure, you basically prove the whole point of this thread and now you don't like it. I get that the truth ticks people like you off, I really do understand.

If there was ever a thread on this forum that perfectly illustrates the flat-out hypocrisy of the left, this is it.

Koch and Soros are two sides of the same coin. Period. The Koch brothers support conservative causes and spend big bucks to target the dems, and Obama. Soros supports liberal causes, and spends big bucks to target the repubs, and previously Bush.

Both have holdings and interests in big corporate America.

Yet only those posters here on the right can recognize and acknowledge this. Amazing.
