Iwant to start off by sharing with you a document of the 1980 Libertarian Party. The candidate for Vice President from that party was one David Koch, who is half of the Koch brothers. When you see this document, you understand how far the Republican Party has moved to the right. Take a look at these exact quotes from the platform that David Koch ran on. It’s not just that he received 1 percent of the vote. It’s that many of the ideas that he put forth in that campaign were thought to be crazy, wacky, fringe ideas.

But listen to how those ideas reflect today’s mainstream Republican thinking.

This is a quote: “We urge the repeal of federal campaign finance laws and the immediate dissolution of the despotic Federal Election Commission.”

Right now, as you know, because of the efforts of the Republican Party, the Koch brothers, and others, the Supreme Court gave us the disastrous 5 to 4 decision in Citizens United, one of the worst decisions in the history of the United States of America. The decision says corporations are people, and corporations and wealthy people can spend as much money as they want on independent expenditures. - See more at: http://www.progressive.org/news/2014/10/187877/highlights-fighting-bob-fest-senator-bernie-sanders#sthash.BKqhZOXo.dpuf

1. BINGO! The GOP is not a real party. They are a 'kept' 'party'. They are owned and used.
