"first time"?

Yeah sure, I believe that.

[tennmountainman]

The Kock Brothers only want open border globalist GOP Reps And
Senators. Just say no to any GOP candidate who accepts Kock Brothers
tainted money.

[falcon99]

Unfortunately, there appear to be quite a few Republican prostitutes for the Koch brothers — including, I think McConnell.

[americas.best.days...]

Boy, we really are on our own out here.

#MAGA

[A_Former_Democrat]

Yeah, because millions of people have gone back to work

Maybe the 70 to 90 percent tax on billionaires isn’t such a bad idea

Bloomin Idiot, KochHeads, Tommy Soi Boi et al

I never remember that having happened on this forum at all.
Now, the Koch’s were a big deal to the open borders crowd, but since so many of them have made their exit you don’t see them praising the gay brothers any more.

Border Hawks have always opposed the Koch brothers.

[bigbob]

If the Kochs can’t support Trump on the basis of his accomplishments, they are anti-American fools.

[xzins]

It’s a lie that they haven’t intervened in primaries. They let it be known the last election that they wouldn’t fund anyone who opposed their agenda.

[Aevery_Freeman]

Everyone eventually votes their wallet.

[HereInTheHeartland]

A free country with independent thinkers terrifies many on the left and right.
It’s what the Founders built for us.
But the Koch brothers, Clinton’s and others despise that idea.
They want to control us.

It sure seems like McTerdle takes money from those sht-faced Koch masters.

[faithhopecharity]

There are so Many entrenched special interests selling us out — it’s scary. I’d want the next generation to have at least some of the liberties and opportunities we have had. Alas, it looks like they won’t have a chance

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

Those folks will NEVER pay that much tax. That is only said to get votes. Why are people so stupid?

[DoughtyOne]

Just reading that article, I came away with the same conclusion.

Screw them!

[Alberta's Child]

There's nothing wrong with this. It's the GOP primaries, folks -- which means it's your votes against their money.

As Eric Cantor and Joe Crowley will tell you, there's nothing that prevents a well-funded party establishment jackass from getting toppled in a primary.

[WashingtonFire]

The Kochs forced Romney and Mcshame on us, despite it being clear both were feckless weaklings

[amnestynone]

“The Kochs are not movement conservatives or party people.”

They are corporatists. They no interest in any conservative reform unless it puts money in their pocket. The best way to fight them is for the rest of us who just happens to be the party base. To oppose any corporate bill or tax cut for business or the wealthy as long as they are for open borders as long as the corporate media smears us and as long as the wealthy support Democrats as they did in the last [residential election. Then an only then will we go along with any of their agenda.

[bray]

Just because 90% of Repubs support Trump it is no reason for the Koch’s to.

[Don Corleone]

Their mating call:

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$!

[MagnoliaB]

They are certainly RINO deep staters, that’s for sure.
Amazing they think they are relevant.
I would definitely not vote for someone that would take money from them.
