What else is new with the Democrats? The part of “do as I say, not as I do” is running a frothing-at-the-mouth fundraising campaign ahead of their 2014 debacle election by demonizing two billionaires who have given less money to conservative causes than 22 progressive groups have given to the Democrats.
The dastardly Koch Brothers.
This list of Democratic Senators who have actually taken money from the Koch Brothers from 2006-2014 according to Open Secrets includes some heavy-hitters: Hillary Clinton, Chuck Schumer, Joe Biden, Dianne Feinstein, and even Barack Obama himself.
Check it out. Via Truth Revolt:

  • Patrick Leahy (VT): $250
  • Carl Levin (MI): $500
  • Barack Obama (IL): $5,500
  • Mark Pryor (AR): $20,000

  • Collin Peterson (MN): $43,500
  • David Scott (GA): $23,000

  • Mike Thompson (CA): $15,000
  • Niki Tsongas (MA): $1,000


It’s not that the Democrats are against money in politics, it’s that they’re against their political opponents having money. That’s why they are against corporations donating money, but are fine with unions doing it. That’s why they are against Super-Pacs (or were – until Democrats began raking in the donations). It’s why they are against 501c4s donating money (because they lean Republican), but are fine with 501c3 charities (giving to Democrats).

All of this Koch Brothers bru-ha-ha and yelling “racist!” or “war on women!” whenever a leaf blows down the street is all a very pathetic attempt on the part of Democrats to deflect from the fact – pointed out by their opposition for years and years now – that Democrats are leading the country in the wrong direction, and lying like crazy about their opponents to boot.
