but it's real.

These sleazeballs did an interview on Marketplace last year when they swore they didn't control the money.

I was wondering when somebody was going to post this.

As much as I want to see this bill burn in flames, their motivation behind this is scarier than the current bill:

The Koch-aligned networks oppose the bill because they think it does not do enough to scale back former President Barack Obama's health care policies.

This "offer" just clearly goes to show how incredibly crooked Washington is - regardless of what side of the fence you're on. Now, no matter how any GOPer votes, it will relate back to this offer from the Koch brothers and partners. If the current bill is shot down, and a more draconian one unveiled later, are they going to offer GOPers access to a larger coffer if they vote "yes" on a new bill? I just can't believe this is the state of things.

Fucking vile and disgusting.

No.
Remember the GOPers grumble about Soros owning the left, but don't bat an eye at Koch power moves like this.

I didn't read the article (short on time), but the headline/title make it sound a bit like a bribe to me.
