27. Do you mean with money?

Mon Dec 26, 2011, 03:15 AM

Dec 2011

They gave Rand money recently, you can find that on opensecrets.org under Koch Industries, they were one of his biggest contributors.

I believe they do support Ron Paul but hide the money. Ron Paul knows that the Democrats are on to the Kochs. They were early contributors to Ron Paul, but it seems they've hidden the money recently.

However, if you look on the Ron Paul's FREE website, you'll see they are all Koch funded groups.

And we have Ron Paul to blame for the reason we can't track all of the money in politics, he was a plaintiff on the side of Citizens United.
