i find it interesting that nobody gave a damn about what the koch brothers were doing until TEA candidates won enough elections in 2010 to influence policy and legislation.
I find it interesting that your claim is false.
The Kochs were being tracked long before 2010.
Here's an example:
In a 1997 study, Sally Covington of the National Committee on Responsive Philanthropy examined the spending of 12 "core" conservative foundations from 1992-94. Her tallies showed that these foundations directed some $210 million into conservative organizations in that period alone.
Covington's study reviewed grants from such foundations as the John M. Olin Foundation, the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation, the Koch brothers' foundations, the Smith Richardson Foundation, and the Scaife family foundations.
From 1992-94, these foundations gave a variety of conservative recipients sums that overwhelmed what was available to their scattered “progressive” counterparts.

You stand corrected.
