What is going on here? They are not even supporting a Republican, period. In this and other races, where true Tea Party Constitutional Conservatives are running.


Look what the Koch Brothers have given to Wendy Davis PAC.....
The lesson to the candidates is simple: Do what we say and have enough money to be well known in every corner of your district. Don't follow our orders and run on your own dime.

The Kochs are conservatives, but they aren't throwing their money down ratholes any more. 2012 cost them a lot and they got very little in return.
They aren't looking for purity. The Constitution is not sacred nor written by the angels in their eyes. They want people who will further their agenda, period. If a candidate won't take their money, they don't care, because they'll find someone who will.

Don't be so naive, Bent. The brothers have huge egos and are in control of some of the most basic industries in America. If they don't like how things are going in a conservative state, they'll dump money into a liberal's pocket for many reasons. Philosophical purity and love of the Constitution aren't 2 of them.
