Four leading Republican presidential prospects are expected to appear this weekend in the California desert before an exclusive gathering of rich conservatives convened by the Koch brothers political operation, several sources tell POLITICO.
Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas, Rand Paul of Kentucky and Marco Rubio of Florida, and Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin, received coveted invitations to speak to the vaunted network assembled by the billionaire industrialist mega-donors Charles and David Koch, the sources said.
The meeting, set to be held at a Palm Springs hotel, is the annual winter gathering of Freedom Partners Chamber of Commerce, the nonprofit group that oversees the network of fiscally conservative groups formed with help from the Kochs and their operatives.
None of the White House prospects invited to the meeting this weekend responded to questions about whether they planned to attend and, if so, what they planned to discuss. A spokesman for Freedom Partners declined to comment on the function, which is closed to the press....

I wonder if reid needed a strong sedative when he was told, though that might not be safe with all that alcohol, he might have another treadmill accident.
Hahahaha! “Treadmill accident?” Yeah, two guys named Little Luigi and Johnny Salami or some such.
I think maybe they should just stay away from Koch
Johnny Salami is for a different type of exercise!, but still involves some slip accidents.
I think Harried Reed has been on Koch-Watch for some time.
Privately, he blames those dastardly Koch Brothers for making sure his Jungle Gym was shoddy in construction.
I don’t know why the Koch brothers are wasting their time with Walker. He could not deliver Wisconsin in 2012. If he is the 2016 candidate he will not beat Hillary in Wisconsin, let alone the country.
Conservatives would have to be crazy to support a Walker presidential candidacy.
Proven track record as an exec, and beat back the union hate groups three times.
I think he’s our best shot.
Those rascally Koch boys buyin’ politicians again. Where’s the justice? LOL!
Who is George Soros supporting in 2016?
Elizabeth Warren...
Koch Brothers are libertarians who love open borders, Walker might be their guy
he ain’t mine
Has SNL done that skit, yet?
Menthops is an anti-Walker troll and newby. Likely a member of a Wisconsin teacher’s union. Ignore post by this entity.
It’s a tightrope walk for any nominee. Watch Cruz soften up, if he’s seriously going to run. I think he won’t run.
I like Scott Walker... he is a great leader.
Soros is supporting either Hillary ‘criminal’ Clinton, Liz ‘SquawTaxtheRich’Warren or the CPUSA candidate.
Menthops must be a DU troll...
