They fund all kinds of "independent," "patriotic" organizations that, in turn, fund their pet causes. While they make their political positions known, they do not make the extent of their "contributions" apparent. Try to keep up. The Tea Party is effectively supporting Big Oil and Big Insurance via their positions on regulation and health care reform. Wake up, little Suzy.
I don't know much about Soros or the Koch brothers, but I hear a fair bit of suspicious motives and sinister tactics attributed to them. Yet on a different but similar note, has it occurred to anyone else how interesting it is, on a psychological level, that we ascribe to those out of power and profit, presumably seeking them (the left, the scientists, the environmentalists, etc.) suspicious motives and sinister tactics, yet for those who are currently in power and profit we do not tend to believe that they use the same tactics to keep them? Sure, the "haves" have more to lose than the "have nots", but they also have more means to cover and conceal.
what i find very interesting, and somewhat encouraging is how enjoyable this thread discussion has turned into. despite the fact that i think you (gabby) are a loon and you think i am a misguided ape, this has been a good discussion. i'm sure tomorrow we'll be back at each other's throats, but i genuinely thank you for the discussion today. i'm off to pick up my little boy from daycare. then we'll no doubt go to the range to fire off a few rounds at a pelosi photo before i give him a lecture on how liberals will ruin the country. night.
Let me explain it in a nutshell: The difference between Soros and the Koch brothers is not unlike the difference between good and evil. Hope that helps.
The left was IS STILL IN POWER. They have only lost the power of the house, and actually they wont even loose that until Jan. They still have the senate and the Prez. What are you crack pots talking about?! Haves? Have nots? See, more of the same!!! I'm telling you this marxist mindset is a religion... It's got all the same irrational fervor and characterizations of fundamentalist religious thinking... Hell it even has a "rapture", the great "revolution" where the "have nots" rise and over take the "haves" which leads to a long era of peace. This leftist thinking has simply filled the vacuum left in the ideological absence of religion, and it's ever bit as retarded. This is precisely why you see some religious people on the opposing side of it...
This from the pathetic Canadian loser who's obsessed with sticking his nose in our business where it doesn't belong, and who accused someone of treason without even knowing what it meant.
Don't forget Big Government. Not that it's any of your business. P.S. Buy a new toy to give your fist a rest? You seem obsessed with "big."
