Koch brother gets scammed boo hoo!

[hfojvt]

15. Bill, though, is not even one of the Koch brothers

Who are David and Charles - not their brother Bill.

Meaning that Bill is NOT

1. a Koch who donates to a slew of conservative "think" tanks

although now research is showing him donating to more Republicans.

However

"Like his brothers, Bill is known for contributing to political campaigns. Unlike those of his brothers, Bill’s donations have not been constrained by ideology -- his cash has gone to politicians as varied as Richard Pombo, Ted Kennedy, Bob Dole, John McCain and, yes, Al Gore. He, his wife and employees of Oxbow donated some $70,000 to the campaign of now ex-U.S. Rep. John Salazar, a Colorado Democrat and brother of Interior Secretary Ken Salazar. So the tendency by the media and activists to group Bill in with his hard-right brothers is clearly unfair. Bill may be an opportunist, but you can’t call him an ideologue, and he’s had a long history of strife with his more notorious brothers."

But then the article goes on to note that he is donating large sums to Boehner and then he donated $2 million to Romney's super-pac.

2. a Koch who is connected to Koch oil. His share was bought out long ago, although I guess he still owns a coal company (or bought it with the proceeds.)

Back in 2004, the website politics1 had Bill listed as a potential Senate candidate - for the Democratic Party in Kansas.

And that is the kind of candidate that the KDP (and probably the RNC) likes - one who can finance his/her own campaign.
