As has occurred in other states, the Kochs are trying to buy 3 seats on the PA. Supreme Court. They are helping to pay for an ad that blames one of the Dem candidates for placing a child in the care of her aunt, who later abused her. The City Human Services Dept. and other staff never told the judge that the aunt had a previous criminal record.

This just reinforces my theory that American voters are becoming inherently stupid...one morning the people of Pennsylvania are going to wake up and find out they only live in PA because the Koch's allow them to...much like the people of Wisconsin are finding out!
But, it was the majority of voters, who actually took the time to vote, that decided to make America into a country ruled over by the noble classes like the Koch brothers!!!
That little revolt over 200 hundred years ago was a fucking complete waste of time...at least with England in charge the people would have had a better health care system!

(67,088 posts)IMO it's not even a theory anymore. Idiocracy is quickly taking over all of America. It is so F'en frustrating how ignorant, lazy and incapable of rational critical thinking many Americans are today. I'm not sure exactly where the US is headed, but IMO 2016 will be a major fork in the road. I find this nation scary. Imagine Carson as president or Trump, for example.
