Koch Brothers Summon Four GOP Candidates
Scott Walker, Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush and Ted Cruz have been invited to audition for the Koch Brothers.
The gathering – which also will include former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, but notably not Sen. Rand Paul — is hosted by Freedom Partners Chamber of Commerce, the umbrella group in the Kochs’ increasingly influential network of political and public policy outfits. It represents a major opportunity for the candidates at a pivotal moment in the presidential primary…
Freedom Partners’ annual summer conference is set for August 1 through August 3, and is expected to draw 450 of the biggest financiers of the right for sessions about the fiscally conservative policies and politics that animate the billionaire industrialist brothers Charles and David Koch and many of the donors in their network. Most have the capability to write seven- or even eight-figure checks to the super PACs fueling the GOP presidential primary, and a significant proportion have yet to settle on a 2016 choice, or are considering supporting multiple candidates. That includes Charles and David Koch, as well as Las Vegas casino mogul Sheldon Adelson and hedge fund billionaires Paul Singer, both of whom will be represented at the conference by advisers, and a number of other attendees of past conferences whose 2016 leanings are being closely watched

They aren’t even ashamed of their buy the WH tactics and the ones who show up hat in hat need to be shunned.
Larry Schmitt July 29th, 2015 at 12:58
Do they have to approach on their knees, with hat in hand?
Roctuna July 29th, 2015 at 14:15
And leave the room walking backwards when they’re done prostrating themselves.
Suzanne McFly July 29th, 2015 at 17:57
The one who doesn’t use his teeth wins?
Larry Schmitt July 29th, 2015 at 18:04
Bravo!

How do you know that one or both of them don’t like it rough?

Kiss the rings too
Larry Schmitt July 29th, 2015 at 12:59
I can write seven- or eight-figure checks too. As long as six or seven of the figures are to the right of the decimal.
Wee Mousie July 30th, 2015 at 00:23
There is nothing wrong with denoting amounts to a hundred thousandth or a cent on one’s checks. Banks demand accuracy, and yet object to such methods for attaining it.
Mike July 29th, 2015 at 13:49
I miss the old time crooked politicians and their minions…you know the guys that would steer a contract towards their brother-in-law’s construction firm, maybe appoint his uncle to a committee chair…
These new crooks are like greed on crack…they want the entire freakin country.
Roctuna July 29th, 2015 at 14:14
Koch’s say jump, Koch-suckers say “How High”
Wee Mousie July 30th, 2015 at 00:18
You mean, they fall to their knees and say, “Yes Master.”
It’s difficult for immensely wealthy scumbags to hire good help these days.
Sixteen candidates running, already, and mostly in the wrong direction.
whatthe46 July 30th, 2015 at 00:21
17 now.
Wee Mousie July 30th, 2015 at 02:17
They’ll soon have too many candidates for a debate.
But, just about right for a Candidate Melee.
Ben Grimm July 29th, 2015 at 15:44
Ted Cruz can’t be president of the United States. I hope the Koch brothers spend $100 million on him. :D
dewired4u July 29th, 2015 at 18:00
Scotty is their boy this is just for show so people think there’s competition.
Ben Grimm July 29th, 2015 at 18:04
LOL
Uh, wait. Who’s Scotty?
Larry Schmitt July 29th, 2015 at 18:06
Walker.
Ben Grimm July 30th, 2015 at 08:34
Ah. Very presidential?

He has the requisite flag lapel pin and everything.
Ben Grimm July 30th, 2015 at 09:58
LOL
ohpaleasegivemeabreak July 29th, 2015 at 18:35
He can, too.
Ben Grimm July 30th, 2015 at 08:38
Cruz is not a natural born citizen. Cruz was born in Canada. Just like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Ted can’t be a US President. LOL
Larry Schmitt July 30th, 2015 at 08:53
His mother was a US citizen at the time of his birth, that qualifies him, as much as we would wish it otherwise.
Ben Grimm July 30th, 2015 at 09:57
And his father was Cuban born who fought alongside Fidel Castro. One can easily say Ted Cruz is a communist plant trained to become an American president using the loosest definition of natural born citizen (by Republicans).
I’m absolutely sure that a foreign born child partly or wholly raised outside the US and with one foreign parent of questionable allegiance is not what the Founding Fathers were thinking about when they wrote down natural born citizen.
Folks who change the meaning of terms to fit an agenda always backfires on everyone.
FatRat July 29th, 2015 at 16:59
Story seems somewhat familiar. lol

Is he any relation to Bigus Dickus?
FatRat July 29th, 2015 at 18:10
And second cousin to Gluteus Maximus.

Proper greeting when a Republican politician is approached by the Kochs:
“What is thy bidding, my Lords?”
Suzanne McFly July 29th, 2015 at 17:55
The first one to get it up without using the blue pill wins?
dewired4u July 29th, 2015 at 17:58
on your knees boys……..
wpadon July 29th, 2015 at 17:59
I have always imagined that the politicians were more like receivers than givers
Larry Schmitt July 29th, 2015 at 18:07
Catchers, not pitchers.
Suzanne McFly July 29th, 2015 at 18:20
Not when it comes to the koch brothers, all the contenders are the catchers.
Wee Mousie July 30th, 2015 at 00:12
I don’t consider such politicians givers or receivers. They are more like alimentary canals, taking in goods at one end and putting out crap at the other.
Hirightnow July 29th, 2015 at 19:50
My money’s on Carly…
Suzanne McFly July 29th, 2015 at 21:00
My money is on huckster, he is a freak in wolf’s clothing.

leave it to anything for a buck huck to leave the biggest wettest slobberiest kiss and the ass of both those despicable kock bro’s asses

all in one place – where are the small game hunters when needed?
Kick Frenzy July 30th, 2015 at 03:51
This oligarchy of insanely rich people needs to be stopped.
I can’t stand the thought of our country being run by a few mega-billionaires.
It’s a gross injustice to the country and her people.
That is all.
(Well, that and this is another reason why we should all be voting for Bernie, since he seems to be the one who’d attack it with the most vigor.)
rg9rts July 30th, 2015 at 06:59
Like the Pope calling you to Rome……notice they left out the leading candidate……ROTFLMAO…..He doesn’t need their money
liber8tor . July 30th, 2015 at 15:12
They have been summoned to kiss-the-ring. And with a puff of white smoke… yes.. we see it now.. wafting in the air… a new POTUS has been announced. Praise Gaawd… err I mean… the Kochs. LOL
