BOSTON — A group backed by the conservative Koch brothers plans to spend more than $125 million on the November elections.

The investment marks a significant escalation for the Koch brothers' main campaign arm. Americans For Prosperity plans to increase television advertising across the country, improve voter data collection and strengthen its 31-state ground operation.

A senior official with direct knowledge of the plans confirms the election blueprint. It's outlined in a memo to Republican donors this spring. The official confirms the memo's authenticity but isn't authorized to discuss it publicly.

Keep talking Harry Reid, the Koch brothers are writing those checks. I guess they are tired of you bashing them every time you open your mouth. How does Former Majority Leader sound to you? Sounds good to me.

Lol! They should say that every time Harry Reid mentions their name, they will spend another million to defeating democrats this fall. Poor Harry would be so conflicted....

I am absolutely flummoxed Conservatives support the Koch Brothers. yeah, I like that the drag Harry and crew through the poop, but they are NOT in this for any Patriotic cause or reason. They are going to buy America and it is not going to be what we/you want.

“The enemy of my enemy is my friend” is ludicrous and dangerous. If the Kochs are successful at stopping Liberalism (I am more confident of winning the Lotto) then rest assured we are next.

Well, thanks Senator Reid. I didn't know you were a FReeper.

While it's very very bad for the Koch Brothers to do this, it's very very good for Warren Buffet, George Soros, Peter B. Lewis, and many other billionaires to fund Harry Reid and his Democrats.

This is simply logic. Democrat logic in fact, but that's the best kind of logic.

Right, they are going to buy America one roll of toilet paper, one roll of paper towels and a few 2x4’s at a time.

Get serious.

Yeah but the Koch brothers are libertarians so we're not suppose to cheer them, right? I mean, they aren't conservatives, so they have to be stopped, too, don't they?

I assume you are being sarcastic. The Koch brothers are being attacked in a combination of class warfare and crony capitalism (Greenies want their money). It is proper for them to defend themselves. What they should really do it turn off Dirty Harry’s energy, make him freeze in the dark the way he wants the rest of us to do.

You're insane.

Nobody blows as much money as they have on political causes without being motivated by ideology.

The monetary return on their investment is next to nothing.

They're trying to fight leftism and putting up big money to do it. How much are you doing?

OMG...Are these the same Koch Brothers who employ 70,ooo people worldwide? 50k here in the states alone? Those pesky capitalists whose industries they serve are being inundated by Gov’t regulations that makes it harder to employ all those people?
How unpatriotic of them to continue employing all these families to make their lives better. They are so evil and these would be the kind of men who would stop at nothing to destroy everything....(please note this is sarcasm and please note how stupid you sound)

I’m trying to think of the words to describe what this will do to Dingy Harry. He’s already deranged, so I can’t use that one.

NOT A PROBLEM.

All the Democrats have to do is RUN ON THEIR RECORD.

Come to think of it...HUGE PROBLEM. I can see why they got their backs up when they found out that there will now be a well-financed counter to Soros, the Media, and the Unions.
