America: a wholly owned subsidiary of Koch Industries.

Robber barons David and Charles Koch want to buy America.  They are offering a billion dollar down payment.  For them, a billion dollars is pocket change.

Flexing its financial might, the political machine backed by billionaires Charles and David Koch on Monday told its allies that spending across its conservative network would approach $1 billion ahead of 2016’s elections.

The stunning sum from Freedom Partners would dwarf expected spending from official GOP committees and many of the hopefuls expected to seek the party’s presidential nomination in 2016. The $889 million budget is almost twice what 2012 GOP nominee Mitt Romney spent from his campaign accounts.

Kinda makes you wonder who they are afraid of, right?

I’d also like to add that if Sarah Palin, Ted Cruz, or any other clown car occupant is the nominee, no amount of money in the world will make them any damn smarter.

Thanks to Claudia for the heads up.
