Yup...the Koch Brothers bought her, too.


The way you folks throw the Koch brothers around you would think they
were the #1 bribers of politicians. In fact both Kochs put together
gave about 20% of what Bloomberg gave to federal candidates, parties,
political action committees, 527 organizations, and Carey committees.
Bloomberg is still a piker compares to Tom Steyer who gave about 3
times that and he is a major opponent to the pipeline. Steyer's money
is probably how you heard the pipeline was being built in the first
place. People act like this is the first oil pipeline ever built in
this country and it is some new, untested technology.
The real motive for pipeline opponents is the simple fact that they
hate the idea of burning fossil fuels and they have invented the other
issues to disguise that.
It is also ironic that Harry is so quick to get in line behind a
couple banksters like Steyer and Bloomberg.



Bloomberg isn't spending his money to promote voter suppression,
backwards, overly religious candidates, and regressive legislation as
the Kochs are.
