The Koch brothers: all the influence money can buy

You think Microsoft doesn't "buy influence"? What about Google?

Of course you think only organizations buying liberal influence are acceptable. But that's not how it works. If you're going to let Google and Microsoft do it, you're going to have to let Koch do it.

Personally, I couldn't care less one way or the other. Because it has little to do with anything. Politicians practically always vote with their political parties; look at their voting records.

You ought to be concerned about Harry Reid buying influence with outrageous payoffs like the Cornhusker Kickback and the Louisiana Purchase. That is true corruption in government which you seem just fine with. This Microsoft, Google and Koch money doesn't buy shit.

Which is the reason two guys with 20 Billion each throw those dogs maybe 10-20 million/year in leftover table scraps. It just doesn't matter.
