Thats great if you want a Bircher Society. Which is the goal of the Kochs. misterhighwasted Feb 2016 #59

Hillary Clinton is the face of abject corruption. Her backers are lobbyists who control the party. earthshine Feb 2016 #93

Nope. The Koch Birchers for Bernie is THEE machine. misterhighwasted Feb 2016 #99

Please provide specific source. earthshine Feb 2016 #121
