There's a difference between holding an unpopular opinion and orchestrating terror attacks. Your snide remarks don't make you look any brighter.

Koch Brothers aren't someone with just a "difference of opinion" though yes I agree they should not be assassinated, my post wasn't meant to be super serious.

Everything they're doing is legal and the opposition has the same opportunity. The left really needs to stop complaining about the right being the party of money while they benefit just as much. Your side has no moral superiority here.

I seriously, seriously doubt everything they're doing is legal (in fact it's virtually guaranteed there's tons they're doing that isn't), but that's beside the point.

Never stated a side but it's a shame the discussions here always devolve into "WELL YOU LIBERALS ARE RETARDS/WELL YOU CONSERVATIVES ARE RETARDS".

People spend money in order to communicate ideas. Just because you don't like their ideas doesn't make them the devil. This isn't the 14th century. I've encountered more hatred of the Koch Brothers than actual Koch Brothers propaganda. The exchange of ideas occurs, but I'm only seeing character assassination coming overwhelmingly from one side.

Oh absolutely, and I use several of them each and every cycle because the bet made at the proper time is essentially automatic. But making the smart bet at the wrong time in the cycle is just irresponsible and careless; it's why no one should be comfortable betting on an electoral outcome months in advance (let alone years), even if they're skilled enough to be able to correctly analyze how a neutral election cycle would play out. You just have no guarantee that a neutral environment stays neutral or if even begins neutral. 2012 was a fairly neutral cycle, Republican-friendly to a degree, and yet it was extremely easy to comfortably bet on an Obama victory by August or even mid-July. But if the media covers the VP debate/2nd presidential debate like they covered the aftermath of the 1st debate in Denver, or if the 47% video never gets leaked, or if the networks cut Clinton off a third of the way through his DNC speech then the margin could have gotten much smaller than the relatively wide margin that Obama won by.

2016 could lurch from neutral to favorable/unfavorable even easier. If it doesn't move, and if someone wanted to take the 2016 Republican nominee in a neutral environment at $100 then you should be comfortable putting up $200 because the outcome (a Democratic win) is just that likely in a true neutral environment. The same is true for $300, even $400. You just have to wait until you feel confident that neutral really does mean neutral and that it stays that way.

Legal because the law is created by them for them. Segregation was legal, so was the Holocaust.

Since when did you get such reverence for the state?

The Koch Brothers are like Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader...sure they had their supporters who liked their law and order position despite then literally destroying planets.

i've been thinking, and ... a woman to be superior commander of such a military power ?! could be freakin'

Lol. She could be another Golda Meir.

Cathrine the Great would be a women in charge of one of the greatest armies on the planet, during her time.
