The Left vilifies them, the mainstream media spread lies about them, and yet the majority of Americans have no idea who Charles and David Koch are. According to a new George Washington University poll, 52 percent of Americans have never heard of the Koch brothers, the billionaire businessmen and major conservative donors.

The Koch brothers are the reason I walked into a telephone pole the other day. Ask Harry Reid, he’ll tell you.

I’ve said all along that the Democrats are wasting their precious propaganda bandwidth by making an issue of the Koch brothers. Only die-hard political addicts on both sides know who they are, and ordinary Americans would simply scratch their heads, wondering why the Democrats were trying to invent a boogeyman out of folks they’ve never heard of before, especially in light of the fact that food prices are rising, their medical health insurance is in a shambles, and the Soviets are resurgent against a powerless American President.

And for those very reasons, I do want to recommend to the Democrats to keep on doing this. In fact, I think ya’ll should double-down on this, spending millions of dollars on this issue.

“Americans, for the most part, are idiots.”

They are taught that way...it’s a liberal plan. Infiltrate the education system and dumb em all down. Eliminate any studying on out constitution and our political system. History is too boring, no need to discuss that either, and if they do,lie about it.

It’s a desperation move to hold the base. Nothing more. The Dems are in real trouble. If we can hold on and make additional gains in 2016 along with winning the Presidency the Democrats will be in a long period of decline.
