at someone's political OPINION being "right" and someone else's "wrong" I don't dislike Koch's methods any more then George Soros', but we need to get money out of politics as much as we can or the republic will cease to be by of and for the people (if it hasn't already lost that characteristic anyway).

I disagree. Money will always be in politics and only when we do things like finance campaign laws do we make it corrupt. It should simply be absolutely transparent with no limits.
After those campaign finance laws went into effect it just made those PACs so popular and hid the money.

The kochs don't want to spend money on politics, they've said as such many times.. They do it because the system in place requires them. They would rather allow the market to declare winners and losers and it's why they fight to minimize the power structure with the government

Point taken, but I constructed my post and wrote "Right" with a capital letter intentionally. I think most people "hate" their opponents because...they are their opponents to power.
Ideas and opinions are secondary, if that.

Bozo said he would take the moral high ground on that idea until he was the candidate in '08 and then just sucked in the bucks like a well SUCKING vacuum cleaner on steroids. The left seems to somehow to always found lacking in the truth telling department on an overwhelming amount of what comes out of their mouths.

David and Charles Koch, the billionaire brothers who often are cited for their conservative influence, had $308 million tied up in their foundation and institute in 2011.

Mr. Soros‘ Open Society Foundations have annual assets of more than $3.5 billion, a pool from which he can dole out grants to pet projects, according to 2011 tax returns, the most recent on file for his charitable organizations.

So, Thomas Jefferson's political philosophy being 'right' and those of Mao, Hitler, Castro and Kim Jong Un being 'wrong' would be laughable to you?
