lets put the facts out so it can get back

I recently checked out the repuke forum; now we all know they get their info from faux as they are far to lazy to research the facts. How many times have you heard big gut on his program slam Soros? to many to count!Of course he loves the koch brothers(they hate unions) Of course we all know he grew up in florida near lady of the lake(now predominately owned by snow birds) as us older folks know florida was noted for low pay!I made a life long friend from this area when in the army! At the time I was drafted my pay was $1.50 an hour in Maine as a transitman on a survey crew;but I got $2 an hour as a junior party chief in the summer time! he got >80 cents an hour as a transitman in florida.now tell me when has Maine ever been known for high wages? think about it folks the textile industry moved south because labor was cheap and the politicians kept it that way!so you see where big butt's mentality was formed!
As for the bird brain that wrote the piece In the repuke forum and put the editorial writer down-he was spreading bull like he always does! ain't that right flamboyant!
here's my facts sonny refute them!
Organization-Driven Political Activity


The Koch brothers’ company, Koch Industries, has been a big player in both campaign donations and lobbying. Koch Industries currently leads the oil and gas industry as the top contributor to federal candidates and parties, and is the fifth highest lobbying spender in the industry this year. Soros’ hedge fund, Soros Fund Management, has also lobbied at the federal level, but employees have not made campaign donations through a Soros-sponsored political action committee. Because of the notable lobbying involvement of a Soros-funded think tank, the Open Society Policy Center, this group's data is also included for the purpose of this comparison:


Political Action Committee Spending (1989 to 2010)
Koch Industries: $5,938,993 (83 percent going to Republicans)

Soros Fund Management: $0


527 Group Contributions (2001 to 2010)
Koch Industries: $574,998


•$186,598 – Democratic Governors Association
•$150,000 – Republican State Leadership Committee
•$103,400 – Republican Governors Association
Soros Fund Management: $0


Lobbying Expenditures (1998 to 2010)
Koch Industries: $50,972,700

Soros Fund Management: $860,000
Open Society Policy Center (Soros-Funded): $11,930,000

According to federal lobbying reports, Koch Industries’ top issues include energy, environmental, tax and homeland security policies. The Open Society Policy Center has mainly lobbied on issues relating to foreign relations, civil rights, and law enforcement policy. The graph below outlines these organizations lobbying history since 1998 (click on graph for full size):
