I thought they were anonymous.

Hilarious!! All "outside" money is dark and insidious.....unless it comes from the Dem/Lib/Union side of the aisle. Obviously, the tactic of attacking law-abiding citizens like the Koch bros, who have created HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of jobs, was a poor strategy by the dems.

The US people don't have a right to know who is contributing how much to which superPAC.
I wonder, have you looked into the Reid SuperPac, which was by far the biggest spender in this election? Oh, but that must be "good" money, right?

Oh here, let me help you - http://www.npr.org/2014/10/02/353177...mocratic-hands

So Steyer would have succeeded in getting Ecocrats elected if only he had operated anonymously???

Plenty more...

When Koch's spend $290 million on winning elections, what kind of sorry excuse for a Democracy / Republic / whatever is left?
Plenty more indeed!

$290 million, huh?

Actually it is about $18.5 million which puts Koch down to #59 on the list.

How about ActBlue who spent nearly six times the what Koch Brothers did with 99% of that money going to democrats? Why aren't they in your rant list?

Why are you simple minded liberals so butthurt about the Koch brothers? You do realize the company they own provides energy resources for many Americans? I think your post shows how dull the liberals truly are.
