Evil Koch Brothers Rank 59th in Political Donations, ActBlue 1st
Albert N. Milliron
You see it in nearly every democrat party or affiliates email. You see it at almost every Democrat rally… The Evil Koch Brothers are destroying America with their billions of dollars going to Republican and Libertarian causes.
Problem is, it’s is just the lefts Saul Alinsky ‘Rules for Radicals’ fundraising tactics – Demonize your enemy and the ends justify the means.
Open Secrets, a political finance watch dog group, compiled a list that may surprise most Democrats. Seems the Koch Brothers rank 59th in political giving.
So who are the real evil financiers of Politics? Well, if you are a Democrat, you can be proud that ActBlue ranks #1 giving $79, 108,392 more than Koch Industries and almost exclusively (99%) goes to Democrats. Those mean nasty Koch’s give 90% to Republicans (Seems they tithe to Democrat causes.)
Now after you get through the massive list of Unions that give to Democrats we come to that little tiny group called EMILY’s List – Emily’s List is the Pro abortion attacker of all things GOP with emphasis on the War on Woman. Emily’s list ranks #21 giving almost $13 Million more to Democratic causes than the Koch brothers give in total.
See the List for yourselves. You will have to scroll through a multitude of Democrat powerhouses before you get to the evil Koch Industries at #59. Oh, and for you gun haters that talk about the NRA massive money machine… they rank 52nd.
