Rich dem business owners want the same, so knock off the self-righteous attitude.

It's not surprising at all. As much as the right-wing rank and file love to blame Democrats for supporting illegal immigration, it is the financial elite running the GOP who ensure nothing really gets done about it. That's because cheap labor is good for their bottom lines. As always, it's all about the dollars.

Ahh ok, so you agree that despite 'siding with liberals on many issues' their actions overwhelmingly support people who oppose liberals not just on economic issues, but also on those social issues where they (the Koch brothers) ostensibly align with liberals.

Actions speak louder than words as to where their values lie. While intellectually they may possibly side with liberals on some things, their actual actions overwhelmingly oppose them and they are clearly perfectly willing to dispense with those liberal values when they conflict with their conservative ones.

I'm not sure where your confusion is as this all seems pretty obvious.
"Many" vs. "some"...I should know to be more careful as it always seems to boil down to a semantics game with you. "Some" it is.

IIRC, Walker came out against immigration and the Kochs are surprisingly for it.

I'd read that and it's not surprising as the present situation re "illegals" suits the family and the 'big business' crowd that they are a part of. Walker bowed to the wrong part of the party and now pays the price.

Look...I think you're an idiot and there is zero reason for me to even attempt reasonable dialog with you. But I should have guessed that you would be a little slow on the uptake. My bad.

A swing and a miss! It's not my uptake that's the problem here, it's your lame responses to my original post responding to your demented thinking that the Koch brothers are libertarians and allies of liberals in any way, shape or form. If you want to attempt another witty response then be my guest.

The odds are stacked you though since everybody knows that libertarians and conservatives are horrible at witty comebacks.

And Cruz was just at a fundraiser hosted by a pair of gay hotel owners and never once mentioned his opposition to gay marriage. I wonder if that will cause him some problems down the line with his supporters.

On a side note, I doubt Einstein would like you very much IMHO.

You ought to rethink that signature, it doesn't automatically make you look smarter.

You might have a point if the Democratic masses were screeching as much against immigrants as the Republican masses. They aren't and you don't.

Why don't you show me how smart you are and explain the meaning of my sig and tell me how I've misunderstood these words or how I've used them to make me appear to be smarter.
