@Lizard_of_Ahaz Again, bullshit. Almost everything you've written is demonstably wrong. Where dud you ever get such foolish ideas?

@jeshuey The Libertarian party is supported by the Koch family (yes the same people who fund the Republicans to the tune of 900 million each election cycle through their network of billionaire donors). The Kochs have helped build the Libertarian party since its beginnings along with John Birch Society which still campaigns heavily for the Libertarians even though it is now greatly reduced in size.... I suggest you actually study this before you start calling others "liars" by reflex....
[washingtonpost.com]

@jeshuey To quote you in part and put your own words into context against you...
"everything you've written is demonstably wrong."

@Lizard_of_Ahaz The Kochs have had no role or even contact with the LP for decades, and separated before pouring hundreds of millions into the GOP. Richard Byrd, lifelong Democrat, was once a KKK leader, does that make all Democrats racists? You play very loose with facts and eshew logic liberally. I have been involved in the LP for 20 years, served on the TX State Executive Committee, was a delegate to five National Conventions, and served on two National Platform Committees. I worked in a leadership capacity in both of Governor Gary Johnson's Presidential Campaigns. I know and have interacted with literally thousands of Libertarians across this country, and never once have I heard a single racist comment nor known of anyone endorsing or excusing rape. So yes, your comments go beyond uninformed all the way to slanderous bullshit. Read the LP platform, visit the party webpage, try talking to an actual Libertarian. Get the fuck out if ypur self-imposed cocoon.

@jeshuey No role or contact except for all those millions in funding?.... How about the TEA Party I assume you think that "just happened" all on its own? They own both as well as the GOP.... I hate to tell you but they use a lot of fake organizations and SuperPACs to hide their activities. That family is the single largest threat to this country. Your involvement with the Libertarian party which was created for the sole purpose of gaining "liberal tools" makes you just that for Koch industries....

@jeshuey After all where did you think all your funding came from Santa Claus?... If you don't believe me look at the money you get and look at the names on that graphic while it is a bit dated (2012) I bet you find donations and SuperPac support for your candidates from several of those Koch funded fronts.

@Lizard_of_Ahaz Just fuck off. You're an asshole.

@jeshuey Just because you don't want to see the facts doesn't make me an asshole for showing them to you. But when you call me an asshole for proving you are wrong that makes you no different from a Christian who calls you names for pointing out the bible is full of shit... Why do you think the Libertarian party kept Rand Paul a guy who spent his entire life mooching off the government he hated so much in office? He knew nothing of economics or much of anything else but he was a racist pile of shit who let one of his own campaign staffers die because he hated the idea of paying for his health insurance. His stupid idea of taking us back to the gold standard and pegging the price of gold at $35 dollars an ounce would have bankrupted the entire economy which is exactly what the Koch boys have been working for since their daddy came back after WW2 having left the country after being sued for infringing on other companies patents. That entire family is little more than criminal scum who have defrauded the people of this country of revenues from their oil operations using "the Koch method" (look that one up if you dare) and used shell corporations to defraud the IRS as well as deal with countries like Iran while it was illegal....

These are the people you really work for and fund your organization...

"Christopher Leonard is a business reporter whose work has appeared in The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, Fortune and Bloomberg Businessweek. He is the author of The Meat Racket and Kochland, which won the J. Anthony Lukas Work-in-Progress Award.

How did the Koch Brothers become the Koch Brothers? The oil-company heirs had long held small-government, anti-regulation beliefs, but weren't always deeply enmeshed in the political world—until 1988, when the U.S Senate began looking into allegations their company was stealing oil from Indian reservations in Oklahoma.

For his new book, KOCHLAND, author Christopher Leonard unearthed the full story of what happened, from the workers under-reporting their oil pickups to the network of front groups, training centers and political operatives that the Kochs built to fend off the investigation—and which today have come to be both respected and feared in American politics."

@jeshuey
Charles Koch – whose mega-corporation Koch Industries is running a PR campaign with the tagline “We made that” – helped make that, or rather helped break that.
Newly uncovered documents reveal Trump and Bloomberg owe thanks in part to Koch for the power to tap their enormous personal fortunes to run for office.
Koch claimed in 2014 that “it was only in the past decade that I realized the need to also engage in the political process.” The truth is he got involved in elections and trying to overcome election laws 45 years ago.
Archives show that Koch funding for the Libertarian party helped subsidize the legal effort that resulted in the infamous Buckley v Valeo decision, which equated spending money with free speech.
Buckley also created a loophole that allowed David Koch to self-fund his campaign for vice-president in 1980, establishing perhaps one of the most extreme examples of privilege in politics today: most Americans can’t afford to max out in campaign contributions, but a couple of billionaire white guys have what amounts to a supreme court-divined right to spend an unlimited amount on their own elections.
The big money of a tiny few is swamping the voices of most Americans
Until now, however, few people outside the Koch inner circle knew it was really Charles who was bankrolling that political party and its attacks on federal election laws, before David’s failed run.
After Buckley, the FEC gave the Libertarian party an advisory opinion to allow Koch to give the party 25 times the limit Congress had adopted. Koch then bundled money with his family to become that political party’s biggest donor, giving it an amount that seems small now but was big then and was the start of something bigger.
Two years later, he pledged to match at least $50,000 raised by the party (despite the $25,000 limit). The year after that, he was one of the largest donors helping to fund lawsuits attacking federal campaign laws.
Buckley litigation also laid the foundation for the discredited Citizens United decision.
Since that ruling in 2010, American elections have been conducted like the Koch-funded Libertarian wishlist circa 1976: the uber-rich have virtually no real limits on how much they can spend to influence the outcome of our elections because they can deploy non-profits to escape donation and disclosure rules applicable to candidates, political parties, and Pacs.
As a result, non-profit groups collectively spent more than all candidates in 28 congressional midterm races, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. The $2.6bn in “independent expenditures” in 2018 also exceeded spending by both political parties combined.
And, just days ago, Koch’s operatives announced their biggest election effort ever for 2020. Koch spending down the ballot will help buoy Trump, without naming him, as it did in the 2016 Senate races.
Koch’s use of secret billionaires’ cash to secure the Senate and states is not new. To win in 2016, Koch planned to amass and spend $889m – Koch Industries even bought the URL: 889million.com.
The new reality is that billionaire-funded dark money groups, like the ones run by Charles Koch’s network with its sophisticated voter databases, can operate like a shadow political party but they are more powerful, unbound by donation limits and disclosure rules that govern parties.”
