The results are in for the Florida special election and the
Democrats have taken a loss when they should not have. It is clear, the Koch
Brothers have bought another seat in what is suppose to be the United States House
of Representatives—the peoples house. Even the Republicans are saying their candidate
was bad. He is a lobbyist, not articulate, and has some personal issues with
his personal life; when you add this to the Republican agenda, which for the
working people and the retirees, is rotten to the core. If all of this is true,
why did he win? The answer is Citizens United. Why do we have Citizen United? It is because
the Koch brothers corrupted the Supreme Court of the United States by bribing
Justices Scalia and Thomas. It is time to ask what the Koch brothers want.
I watched what is happening in my state of #North Carolina to
a Senator Kay #Hagen, who is being challenged by #Thom Tillis, a fellow who is
far worse than the Republican candidate in Florida was. In fact, even before
Tillis announced as a candidate Sen. Hagan’s poll numbers took a sudden and
dramatic plunge: 15% points. This was obviously the result of a flood of advertisements
on TV paid for by the Koch Brothers. We saw the same thing happen in Florida—candidates
are susceptible to negative campaign attacks. I wrote a protest to the News Channel
11, and complained about the ad content. The content of the ads were lies, not
one word of truth in any of them. Apparently, it is legal to tell even blatant
lie in political ads on TV in North Carolina.
These rich brothers are destroying our government. Even
Republicans should be alarmed because of who the Koch brothers are: they are
the sons of Fred Koch, the Founder of the Koch Industries, which means they
grew up in a toxic political environment and nurtured on the John Birch Society
philosophy (I urge readers to research that society). Consider this: David Koch
was a vice presidential candidate in 1980 with Ed Clark. He ran as a libertarian.
Their campaign was entirely negative, not one positive thing. They promised to
abolish social security and the Federal Reserve Board. They promised to do away
with welfare, minimum wage laws, and eliminate corporate taxes. In addition, they
would abolish with all subsidies for agriculture and business. They would also eliminate
U.S. Federal Agencies including SEC, EPA, ICC, FTC, OSHA, FBI, CIA, and DOE. It
is important to note that they earned 1/.06% of the nationwide vote.
Think about that? These Brothers, as radical as they are, are
now within reach of controlling the United States Government, without anyone
casting one single vote for them or against them. They took another big step in
that direction last night in Florida. Right wing republicans applauded them for
doing so on MSNBC Morning Joe and every other Republican news outlet. The
brothers have control of the House of Representatives and threaten to take control
of the Senate in 2014. I already mentioned that the control the Supreme Court. The
Republicans have made the biggest mistake in their lives by anointing them—by selling
out their party to them. It may be too late for Republicans to shake off their greed
for power and wake up; our country may already be lost.
