The shady transfers and mysterious groups found in the last election cycle are more typical of drug runners or tax evaders. The donors to the conservative network are not such nefarious people, but why then do they use the same tactics? What do they fear from disclosure of their political investments? Are they ashamed of their positions or their candidates, or of their role in supporting them? Voters know that these donors are trying to hide something, and that only creates more suspicion and cynicism. The Koch brothers and others with great fortunes are adults, and if they want to participate in campaigns, they should stand up for what they believe in and do it in the open.
