Pop Quiz: Pick Biggest Weasel — GOP, RNC, Koch's, All Three

The Fight is On: Control of the GOP, the System, and Hell, America itself


By way of introduction, I have many times expressed my views and opinions about the GOP and the Koch billionaire brothers that my extensive reading and listening have shown and I am also sure those views are shared by millions of others, maybe even this same way: (1) The GOP professes to stand for principles, family values, and the American people (sadly on their terms); and, (2) the Koch's who want to buy and own the country. (Bonus: FOX is the propaganda machine and arm for the GOP).

The cartoon graphic above was snatched from here — it and the article are both keepers. Why do I say that?   Well, it seems that the RNC and ergo: the GOP in general are now “seeing the light” as it were, or more apropos “feeling the heat” by aligning with people like me who hold the above stated view that “The Koch's want to buy and own the country and thus, run it their way.”

More from the piece here, in part. Cal it the juicy part: 

The Republican National Committee’s (RNC) data arm last year called it “historic” occasion when it struck a deal to share voter information with the Koch brothers’ rapidly expanding political empire. 

It was an uneasy détente between the committee, which views itself as the rightful standard-bearer for the GOP, and the behemoth funded by Charles and David Koch, which is free of the campaign finance restrictions that bind the RNC and Koch plans to spend almost $900 million in the 2016 election cycle to elect a Republican to the White House. 

Party leaders, including the current chief digital officer for the RNC, hailed the deal as an important step forward in the GOP’s attempt to modernize itself. 

But after the fall midterm elections, the deal was allowed to expire without being renewed. Since then, relations between the two sides have soured, turning into what one Republican operative described as “all-out war.”  

You gotta luv this stuff, right (smile). (So, may the biggest, phoniest jerk with the most money and fewest donors win – for the people, natch???) … We’ll be watching and tracking.
