I didn't see Koch mentioned either. Sometimes they are direct linked to an activity they have no direct association with. Like most philanthropists, they donate money to organizations that they believe have America's best interest at heart. These organization use the funds on a variety of of causes that the Koch brothers may or may not agree 100% with. This is might be one of those cases.

I am not sure why Jim wants to call
me dishonest, other than the typical right wing personal attack. He suggests that I may have a personal interest in this as if that would be bad. Sure, I have many friends that teach in that District and I have many friends whose children atted school in that district. I helped with the campaign for the recall which won by a two to one margin. Unlike Jim, I have ties to the profession which was/is my life. I still work with students on a part time basis. I am their assistant debate coach. It us rewarding to be able teach students how to think rather than what to think. Did I discuss this election with students during school hours? Absolutely not. It would have illegal for me to do so. Am I happy with the results o the election? Absolutely!

Why couldn't you have been open and honest about that from the start? Is it dishonest to involve the Kochs without be able to provide proof?

Why should I have responded to you, Jim?" Remember, you do not give a "rats ass" about the election in this thread.

No need to at all, Lowell. That way you can keep from digging the hole dipper.

Had I posted my last post earlier, I would have eliminated Jim's typical right wing badgering and his excuse to participate in the typical right wing personal attack by innuendo. I chose to allow Jim to keep digging his hole deeper and deeper.

I find it amazing and rather amusing that some non Coloradoans actually think they know more about our local elections than do we who live and work in the area. Sad, very sad. But, typical of the US right wing.
