McConnell Gets In Media's Face: Kochs Should Be As Free to Spend As Media Companies Do

The front page of Thursday’s USA Today newspaper reported on a Susan Page interview with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. The headline was “McConnell is unyielding on Iran, defiant on Kochs.”

The media define “defiant” as “willing to suggest the media are free-speech hypocrites.” Page suggested the amount of Koch spending was inappropriate, just too large. She told McConnell “jaws dropped this week” when the Koch brothers announced they would spend $889 million in the 2016 cycle.

Apparently, mitch still don't get it. Socialist soros and steyer and bloomberg and their ilk are able to spend as much as they want because they are protecting people and the erf against evil conservative right wing extremist radical baby killers. Take a nap mitch.

Koch is probably funding Mitch The Traitor.

Considering how much toil and treasure the so-called “entertainment” industry and the so-called “news” media invest in defeating America — the Koch money is a drop in the bucket.

Mitch "Paycheck" McConnell sock-puppet parrots Soror's line..
What was Mitch's opponent's name in 2014 Primary..Free Speech..NOT!

Whose backbone did Ditch borrow and when does he have to give it back?

[HarleyLady27]

I wonder if Harry Reid is still fighting with the Koch brothers....maybe the machine he was on was built by a Koch??????

You're right - good point. It's a drop in the bucket compared to the constant nonstop FREE press the left is given.

No, Koch is backing Walker. Walker was invited and expected at last weekends Jonathan Karl interview (Cruz, Paul, Rubio) in CA, and Walker dropped out of it. The day before, Walker got about half the applause Cruz did in Iowa.

Immediately they started pushing that Rubio ‘won’ the three-way (he didn’t, I read the whole transcript).

Rubio and Walker are aligned with Koch on amnesty, and will have the wind$ at the back due to it. Now it’s time to drum Jeb out over amnesty and common core.

The American people want and need Cruz for POTUS, they just don’t know it because the MenSeekingMen dare not whisper his name.

PS, that’s why Mitch is defending Koch, they’re going to deliver Walker/Rubio to him.

[drypowder]

when it comes the money Soros pours into seditious communist causes and communist liberal democrat politicians here in the US, no one ever complains.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Don’t forget how many hundreds of millions the unions spend to get Rats elected.

I think the Koch money is behind the ONE AMERICA NEWS channel,
I love the Daily Ledger somebody has BIG MONEY behind this network they have absolutely NO advertisers and are beholden to NO ONE can say it like it is and THEY DO!!!!!!!

[stephenjohnbanker]

” Rubio and Walker are aligned with Koch on amnesty,”

I know this. I did my own research on Walker last week. He sucks on amnesty AND he wants unlimited HB1 visas. American kids can go pound sand, regarding their future with this a hole.

[stephenjohnbanker]

CRUZ or we ALL lose.

[Kit cat]

When is this man EVER going to keel over and die???? It is waaaaaay past his time!!!!!!!!!

[rktman]

LOL! Yup. It’s always radical right wing extremists and never anything but moderate/middle of the road dems. Weird how that works huh? Or “moving more to the center” dems.

[txhurl]

This is a mighty Goliath Cruz has to crush. We need bumper stickers NOW. All that Ted's missing is name rec:

Fivethirtyeight Has Some Interesting Statistics on the GOP Field

[stephenjohnbanker]

We need several million Americans to give Cruz 20 bucks

[txhurl]

This graph is totally flipped from the current push polls out there. Jim DeMint and Ken Cuccinnelli need to get polling, now.

[silverleaf]

Shrillary announced she plans to raise a billion
Has the press asked where that’s going to come from? Chinese bus boys?
