I cannot provide a source, but it was during the time Harry Reid was in the senate. Reid occasionally commented on the political machinations of the Koch brothers.

My memory (the basic idea): A reporter asked one of the Koch brothers how much money he wanted to acquire. The answer was "All of it."

I hope Iowans will reject anyone and anything political that is supported or promoted by a Koch.
