But these are liberal agenda organizations. There's no problem with that. Like aspiesmom problem with Koch Industries... it ain't sweet "tea" for me.

So there we have it, if it doesn't benefit the libs then it isn't good for anyone.

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.

OMG, a moral quandry ! ! !

Not a problem, the progressive motto in 1992 was 'You can't legislate morality'. Apparently morality is NOT a Constitutional virtue, and without a belief in God given rights.... HYPOCRISY ! ! !

this is really simple. Liberals demonize who they don’t like. they use whatever argument they can get to stick.

If a liberal is a rich guy who owns millions of shares of Halliburton and is very involved in deep water drilling for oil and is actively involved in fracking to get NG out of the ground, that does not stop liberals from loving him.

nor does it stop liberals from attacking a conservative for being a rich guy who owns millions of shares of Halliburton and is very involved in deep water drilling for oil and is actively involved in fracking to get NG out of the ground

Every single thing liberals are saying about the Koch brothers can be said about George Soros but you cannot be a hypocrite and a liberal. Evidently it isn’t possible.

And that makes you less of a hypocrite how? Also, are the Koch brothers not citizens and voters with rights too?

I don't support the Koch brothers, I support issues that support MY self interest and those happen to be the Tea Party. How am I different from you?
