"First and foremost, let’s be clear, the Koch Brothers are not the monsters that Democrats have made them out to be. They’re not even hard right conservatives but libertarians who have given large donations to many causes even liberals like.

Could that be because no one is really listening to Democrats like Harry Reid anymore?
So the billionaire Koch brothers are evil and trying to buy an election? How about Mayor Bloomberg trying to influence Colorado elections with big checks and calling the Governor personally?
