I guess I'll say it for a third time since you are either willfully ignorant or have the reading and comprehension skills of a dead moth; I'm not a supporter of any elite money dictating direction of supposed democratic procession.

Playing devils advocate can be entertaining though. After 1000+ posts with many containing belly aching and loathing over the Koch bros, I figured someone should play the ying to the yang.

So far all I have gathered from your posts is that it's not about corporate money being used to further the interests of individuals, but only the amount. So how much money is ok New Era?

No, my attempt was to illustrate the double think that is responsible for simple minded people being sucked into believing whatever it is the various political news agencies would have you believe. Hey, you've picked your team and that's fine. Power to you.

But since it's a total lie, why don't you prove otherwise. I'm sure Soros intentions are as pure as the driven snow, especially considering...

Irrelevant.

...If you believe that money being pumped into a rebel uprising that overthrew a democratically elected gov't is irrelevant when it comes to donations being funneled into the US... well then I'm going to have to go with the willfully ignorant statement again.

Did you any research on that to verify the lie you believe? It was Export-Import Bank that approved the loan, and at that time it was stacked with Bush appointees. Not a single Obama appointee had found their way into the Bank when the loan was approved. Sorry man, you've been duped by Glenn Beck and the Fox News crew.

So he's a Republican supporter then? Interesting.

Yet you were the one who first trotted out Soros?

Devils. Advocate.

Good names, but not even in the same universe. Checkout the list of the top 100 individual contributors to political campaigns. Just for your information, of the list of the top 100 political contributors tracked, who do not hide behind shell foundations like the Koch brothers, the majority of the contributions go to Republican interests. Of the $380M contributed, $264M went to Republican politicians. Pretty amazing. Now look at the Koch brothers. $898M this cycle alone. Almost a BILLION dollars. Most of it untracked and untraceable because of their shell foundations.

What's funny is the names I researched came from the same site. Categorized differently but the same source. Again I must ask, are you concerned about the practice of corporate interests influencing US policy, or is it only the dollar amount you care about?

And crying about the Kochs shell foundations in the context of George Soros is hilarious.
