From Mark Levin show last Thursday, 6/22, "I'm told that McConnell showed the draft of the senate bill to the K street lobbyists before he shared it with the rest of the senators."!
It is true that David Koch was once the Libertarian Party vice Presidential Nominee, but it is not true that the Koch Brothers are pushing a Libertarian agenda.
It is closer to the truth to say that they are trying to co-opt the Libertarian Party for their own agenda.
If only it was a repeal. But unfortunately it's a repeal of one mess and a replacement with another. If Congress messes it up that badly on healthcare then what hope is there that they won't mess up tax reform?
That makes them uniquely pure libertarian party representatives.
Because libertarianism as praciced by people forming it into a political organization (as opposed to libertarianism the ideology) has always been filled with so called leaders yanking it very sharply to the Left. Certainly as far back as Ayn Rand.
They are not stupid at all.
The GOP are the Washington Generals who are there to lose to the Dems Harlem Globetrotters ...
I am sure freshman orientation for any patriotic congressman must be a sole crushing experience.
No, it does not. The Party actually has articulated it's stand on issues. The Koch Brothers are attempting to co-opt the party's stand on those issues.

Absolute nonsense.
Incidentally, Rand hated Libertarians. She was never a part of Libertarianism. While many of her ideas were appropriated by the Party, Rand was never a part of the party. Her philosophy of Objectivism, is in many ways anathema to Libertarianism.
Nice try though.
