re: The Koch Brothers own Cassidy

That's not true. The Koch Brothers don't own Cassidy, Lane Grigsby owns Cassidy. Lane's the person who convinced Cassidy to run for public office in the first place and has bankrolled all of his campaigns.

It probably will not work here either. I don't think many people here give a shite who the Koch brothers are, but they are tired of Mary's crap.
the only people who do in Ak will vote Dem anyway.

This plus one million throwing away a vote away on principle makes it easier and more likely that she avoids a run off n the election, so not a good or wise move at all. If that is your choice stay at home on election day.

Just another example of how the left views having "all ideas" out there is to have all LIBERAL ideas get debated.
I am fine with anyone using their resources to fight for what they believe in. WTF is wrong with people who are against that?

The Koch Brothers are great Americans.
What they stand for we should all embrace.

I don't know if you're being sarcastic but, I don't think we should all embrace what they stand for. I simply think that we should all embrace the idea that people can use their resources to fight for what they stand for.
I'm a fan of freedom that way.

Louisiana needs to dump Landrieu.

There are no greater champions of freedom in the US that I know of than the Kochs.
They have spent billions advocating for libertarian ideas in government. They financed the Cato Institute for years.

Is this Koch industries' PAC or is this the Koch family? Either way, why has this family been made into villains in the leftist media?
I know one at least one PAC that represents a Koch competitor that's also backing Cassidy. I'm pretty sure the Koch PAC has backed Landrieu before.

I really wish bill would come out with a commercial pointing out that ole Mary takes money from the Koch brothers as well. I'm sick of these commercials taking advantage of the stupid.

Landrieu is the type of polician we fought our freedom to never have. Her and her family think they are some Lords or Nobles and have some fiefdom down here. She is owned by unions and liberal money. She has a leadership PAC and will be paid from it the rest of her life.
She is owned.
She is owned.

I wonder which group of voters the dems are trying to inform when they run attack adds on the Koch bros and their candidates.
1. I doubt they get anybody to go and vote against Cassidy that was not going to vote at all, just because he is backed by the Koch bros.
2. I assume there are a large number of voters voting party line, no matter what negative attack ads are out there, it won't make a difference because these people won't even look at the names they are voting for.
I personally believe that mass advertising is successful in elections because it gets the thought in peoples heads that someone is bad or good, and when they see them on the ballot they have a negative or positive reaction and they use that as part of the inputs when making their decision on who to vote for. I just think that given how much % of votes are already in hand before election day it is pointless to spend millions to attack people whose names will not even show up on the ballot.

all politicians are owned and did i miss something since when do we have alot of union influence in louisisana..this is a right to work state

Nice losing strategy Dems. Most people either don't know who they are or care if they contribute to candidates.
And if any liberal cares to condemn billionaires contributing to political campaigns Bill Gates and Warren Buffett say hello.

Public sector unions are very strong. River pilots and doctors have a strong union as well. Trial lawyers association is practically a union. I may be mistaken but i believe there's a union for tourism industry workers as well.

Mark Begich ads are a bunch of anti Kock Bros propaganda. Must be the dem. hot button of the month.
I flipped to a PBS political discussion panel the other day and watched a 30-something guy in black-rimmed glasses and a nice suit talk seriously about the Koch brothers and how important it is to let voters know about them.
PBS is publicly funded?
