so I read today that Koch Industries - the money behind the anti-Healthcare Reform Townscreamingmatches, the Tea Party, anti-Environmental movement, etc. (along with several Republican States) has applied for Federal money from the Healthcare Reform thing. http://www.healthcare.gov/law/provision ... es/ks.html I don't know which is less surprising: that the people who spent millions combating HCR/"Obamacare" through astroturf campaigns using an army of useful idiots along with Jindal and several other anti-HRC Republican Governors are asking for a slice of the pie, or that the people who did their dirty work and will vote Republican this fall won't give a shit about being hypocrites. Call me cynical but the TP seems more interested in hype than facts, and despite their little Honor and Integrity circle jerk the other day, won't find the necessary amounts of either to actually be consistent. and now a surprised cat: |

"But liberals shouldn't seethe about the Kochs without at least acknowledging that all ideas are seeded by patrons, on the left as well as the right. This will always be true." "In fact, my own perspective on this issue was forever underscored in June of 2004, when I watched George Soros address a thousand giddy Washington liberals, all of whom had gathered in a hotel ballroom under the auspices of a group called Campaign for America's Future (a recipient of Soros money). They loved it when he boasted, "I've put my money where my mouth is." And they nodded approvingly when Senator Hillary Clinton stood and declared: "He's using his resources to make sure that his opinions are heard in the marketplace, and that is in the great American tradition!" - Dick Polman, WHYY |

But see, at least Soros is honest about it, instead of funding astroturf. |
