William Koch gives another $1 million to pro-Romney 'super PAC'

WASHINGTON -- Billionaire energy businessman William Koch, whose brothers finance an array of conservative political causes, directed another $1 million into a "super PAC" backing GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney, according to new campaign finance records filed Friday.

The donation to Restore Our Future was made through Huron Carbon, a subsidiary of Oxbow Carbon, a privately held coal and petroleum supplier that Koch founded and runs.

The contribution means that Koch has steered at least $2 million to the super PAC: Last year, Oxbow Carbon gave $750,000 to Restore Our Future, while Koch personally gave the group $250,000.

The donations represent stepped-up political activity by the Palm Beach, Fla., resident, whose twin brother, David, and older brother, Charles, are famous for their lavish support for conservative causes.

Mr. Short Term Memory, he shouldn't have sat under that pear tree..

3. Why isn't it against the law


to " buy America" ~ this is exactly what they are doing.

I don't have a problem with donating to a candidate, but IMO, this is an outrage.

Bill Maher Gives $1 Million To Obama-Supporting Super PAC

WASHINGTON -- Stephen Colbert may not support the idea of super PACs, but fellow political satirist Bill Maher is buying into the system -- literally.

During a performance of his comedy special "CrazyStupidPolitics" Thursday night, Maher announced a gift of $1 million to Priorities USA Action, an Obama-supporting super PAC. While he mocked the group's clunky name, saying it was "named by Borat," his publicist said that Maher was deadly serious about the donation and believed a second term for Obama was “worth a million dollars."

GOP Super PACs like Restore Our Future, which supports Mitt Romney, have allowed major donors to pump massive sums into the Republican presidential primary. President Obama was a long-time critic of the groups, but the threat of their fundraising power prompted a controversial change of heart earlier this month.

"Oh, but that's just combating the evil Koch brothers!!!"

Sure, but they are all for George Soros donating millions to the democrats, or Bill Maher donating a million to the democratic party. Liberals are such hypocrites.

Pfft. Typical lib double standard. So long as you talk a good liberal feel-good game your exorbinant wealth and excess gets a pass. In honor of algore on earfday, I'll remind of similar hypocracy- preach on how our carbon output is killing the planet while jetting around on his private jet to do so. Effin' libs. Hypocrates the whole bunch.
