It touts how wonderful they are, and how many jobs they provide throughout the country. One has to wonder why they feel the need to air this thing, and on such a frequent basis. (I see it at least once a day.) I'm guessing they're trying to preempt something.

ingested, in my opinion. Cruz is blaming others instead of asking the Koch's, at the podium, to give lots of money to the Red Cross for humanitarian aid. Cruz continues to undermined democracy by saying that the Koch way is the way Americans are to proceed. A wealthy person from California gave money to help with climate education but the Koch's cannot give to the Red Cross.

Senator, why not make yourself useful and hand out aid items in Ukraine if you are so concerned to do it the Koch way, as you are part of the government instead of the Red Cross? In my opinion, you are inferring that you and the brothers should be on the ground in Ukraine.

That once you've kissed the Koch brothers asses on camera like that - the lips will never be removed.

Once a majority of Americans are aware of just who the Koch brothers are and what they're doing - Ted Cruz is gonna wish he'd never uttered the words in that video.

As much as calling the democrats hypocrites.

They have a point - what kind of promises are the big donors extracting from the democrats when they make mega donations.

I know that I get a lot of emails saying that my donation will be double or triple matched, they don't tell me whose money is matching mine.
