David and Charles Koch love Arizona congressional representatives the best. In 2011, they gave our our representatives more money than those of any other state, and they gave money to more Arizona congressional representatives than those from any other state. Ben Quayle ($6,000), Trent Franks ($7,500), Dave Schweikert ($10,000) and Jeff Flake ($12,300) racked up a total of, to save you the math, $35,800 for their campaign coffers from the Kochs, and wouldn’t you know, their constituents apparently wanted them to vote in ways that seemed to favor the brothers. Americans For Prosperity gave them all a 100 percent rating for the first half of the 112th Congress.
What would it take to make our representatives even more prosperous? After all, Tim Walberg of Michigan was able to tap them for $27,000 all by himself. Are Arizona voters just making it too easy for them? Meanwhile, wouldn’t you love to see an analysis of the brothers’ contributions, or trickle-down contributions to state offices? Or even local ones?
Here are details from Think Progress. Feel free to sweep the inflammatory rhetoric aside and focus on the numbers.

Hm, your buddy Soros outspends everyone else by 10:1, but panties are twisted when conservatives support good men who are under assault from La (klan with a tan Raza), the Democrat war machine and the Department of Justice. So if the Koch brothers are, indeed, giving a paltry amount compared to the left wing conspiracy against anyone who stands up to La (klan with a tan) Raza and their sponsor cartels in Mexico, I am thankful. I have been an independent for many years and have voted for both parties, but after the unbridled assault against those who’s only crime is trying to stop a foreign invasion and enforce the law, I think it may be time to move to the Republican party.
Another example of journalism with an ageda: How much have the unions and Soros pumped into AZ? Millions. The Koch brothers are small time compared to the far left, socialist machine.
Ms. Ray, I cannot take you seriously when you refuse to mention how much George Soros, or Warren Buffet pump into the coffers of various Democrats. And think Progresss is nit credible s a news source. Please take off the Liberal blinders and check the whole picture.
There was a newspaper in Chicago that spearheaded investigative reporting on corruption,featuring the Daley Family crimes and the connections with Eric Holder , William Cellini , the entire Blagjeovitch Governorship , and many other taints from the Illinois power structure that is the current White House regime. Rahm Emanuels friends bought the Sun Times one month ago and there hasn’t been another article about anyone in the Democratic Party.
Thank you, Miss Ray.
Soros is not passing on his money like this….they lie!
They lie…or else they’re so uninformed & brainwashed by FOX and FRIENDS.
The Republican party is in denial of reality…
America is hurting and the GOP keeps working to help the people who need help least.
As my Grandfather always said:
Democrats help those who need help…
Republicans help those who don’t need help.
It’s a fact.
