With as many times as outgoing Majority Leader Harry Reid mentioned the Koch brothers in Senate floor speeches this year, you'd think that they were the ones who spent the most money during the 2014 midterm elections. Think again. Out of all the billionaires who donated money to causes or campaigns for the midterms, the top two were Democrats and they outspent everyone else on the list, combined. David Koch isn't even near the top. More from POLITICO:
Billionaire Tom Steyer's pet issue is global warming. With the amount of money Steyer spent, a whopping $74.3 million, and the results he received in return, he got trounced. Michael Bloomberg has of course been focused on gun control. Neither one of these topics is popular with the majority of American voters and the results of the election, a Republican landslide, prove it.
I look forward to the left continuing their charade about money being a problem in politics.

The answer to the meme ... ‘prove it’.
“Invisible” money from:
George Soros?
Bill Gates?
Warren Buffet?
The Rockefeller and 1900-era trust-babies?
ALL of that is sent via third party and “non-government” government-funded agencies. Planned Parenthood? Greenpeace? WWF?
All liberal. And Soros of course is Chinese -> So theoretically, he can’t donate at all.
And, the tens of millions of non-attributed (anonymous, foreign, non-secured) $495.00 dollar credit card donations to the democrats are - deliberately - ignored as well.
Steyer is a hedge fund billionaire. With the government printing money to prop up the stock market; can you imagine how many billions of dollars he has garnered ?
The little 74 million dollars he kicked back to the democrats was just a payback. You'll notice several of the big contributors were hedge fund billionaires.
Liberals ARE LIARS.
Liberal Criminals list bump for later...
It appears the libs billions had little affect on the outcome. Good for them. Their problem, of course, is that they didn’t spend enough.
I suppose Ayn Rand addressed this a little, but how can people be so smart to create billions but yet so stupid to be conned by Green socialism?
