Last month, former Kansas Rep. Todd Tiahrt (http://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/summary.php?cid=N00008144&cycle=2010) announced his candidacy for the state’s Fourth Congressional District seat by shooting some early barbs at his former protégé, incumbent Rep. Mike Pompeo, citing some of the “big policy differences” (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-politics/wp/2014/05/30/want-to-see-a-nasty-gop-house-primary-oh-its-just-getting-started-in-kansas/) that divide them. The Republican rivals have one thing in common, though — the hand that has fed their political careers is one and the same: the Koch Industries (http://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/summary.php?id=D000000186).


Claiming that Pompeo had been too hawkish on Syria, too accepting of the government's sweeping surveillance efforts and too soft on Obamacare, Tiahrt made his case for why a change is necessary.
