Well this is unexpected: One of the Koch brothers is for marriage equality. I'm officially creeped.

Washington's anti-gay activists are falling way behind in fundraising, as the pro-equality side gears up for a huge television ad campaign. And support for marriage equality grows, with endorsements from key Republican figures including one of the Koch brothers.

to buy the White House. I wouldn't put it past them to make statements to try to make it look like they are just like us. They aren't.

that this is some sort of a trap and I tend to agree. Never ever ever trust any of the Koch brothers. They no doubt have something up their sleeve, I'm just not sure yet what it is.

Those guys never were party line Republicans, just rich guys who want less taxes and regulation. And above all, no unions.

The religious stuff is for the peasants.
