The KochPAC gave almost $200,000 to Democratic candidates and committees, including just most recently in 2010. This included a $30,000 donation to the DSCC.
But isn’t it funny how top Democrats like Harry Reid harp on how the Kochs are ruining politics and complain about their partisan allegiances? Since 2000 KochPAC has given more than $1.4 million to Democratic candidates, leadership PACs and committees. Who’s partisan now?
Now, this is not to say that the Kochs haven’t been a huge part of funding Republican ideas, but it must be awfully frustrating for them to have people constantly criticizing them. The whole point of funding political interests is to support those ideas and people that you like. Clearly, the Democrats that were receiving help from the KochPAC had something of interest to the brothers.

On most issues, they agree with democrats.
The Koch team is also pro-sodomite fake marriage.
And I gave you the scoop!
Aren’t they the donors who kept Newt in the race in order to split the conservative vote?
Most big donors cover all their bases.
That was Sheldon Adelson.
Because an honest politician is one who, when bought, stays bought.
No. That was Sheldon Adler, a Las Vegas operator.
Reminds me of Hollings from South Carolina. Apparently the republicans were caught up in a campaign fundraising scandal and it was pointed out that Hollings had been give a thousand bucks. He said he was insulted that that’s all he got.
The Koch brothers are DEAD to me.....They are in NO MAN’S LAND!!
The Koch Brothers is just the Liberals lame attempt to counter the Right’s attack on Soros.
Thanks Libloather.
While some subjective interpretation is understandable, I believe what you've stated here is simply impossible!
The Koch bros, like other smart business savvy people, are not rich due to ideological principles, rather pragmatic flexibility. They will support whomever, as long as their support yields a good return. Btw, $200K is peanuts.
Glad I asked, thanks.
Koch-heads are pro-amnesty, pro-lgbt, and hate Ted Cruz.
The Koch Bros support amnesty. I’m glad when they support candidates I prefer, but they will do their own thing.
The ultra rich usually play both sides of the fence.
But Harry Reid isn’t dumb, he knows DAMN WELL that fact. But his voters, they are dumb and they love to hear rich people get bashed. The dems give them what they want when they vilify the Koch brothers.
You mean ... Harry Reid ... LIED to us? The horror!
