Harry Reid Backs Constitutional Amendment To Limit Koch Brothers’ Influence

Buzzfeed ^ | May 14, 2014

All the huge problems this nation faces — but Reid is upset that the Koches are competing with George Soros for political influence.

[GeronL]

Koch isn’t even in the top 50

One thing any amendment should do is ban unions from being involved in politics in any way, shape or form.

[Izzy Dunne]

I won it, but just barely.

I think here is the crux of the problem.

>> Someday, perhaps sooner than anyone thinks, Harry is going to be led off the Senate floor by the Sergeant at Arms, and put into protective custody.

Boehner would never allow his friend to be arrested.

wanting to do away with Social Security, taxes, no unemployment insurance, I mean weird stuff. No minimum wage. That in 1980 was kind of on the fringes, now it’s basically what the Republican Party is

I only wish that is where the Republican Party is today. But we all know it isn't. Reid is lying and the media is letting him. The GOP is Dem-light but gets tagged in the media as wanting to do away with Social Security and taxes. And they don't know how to respond other than attacking the one voice of sanity in the party -- the Tea Party -- which wants to cut spending back to sane levels and balance the budget.

Ok, Harry, why don’t YOU list by name your financiers. OK?
Start with the mob, whom you get your bagman percent from regularly. The moron tablenapkin choir who sings your songs of sixpence. A perv of the first order.

[MrB]

It should ban government employee unions totally.
No way is it ethical for two sides (govt & employee) to negotiate against a third (taxpayer).

[ExTxMarine]

Laz, you got “smaller portions” and “small portions” in that letter.

I suggest that you remove one of those references and replace it. I would replace it with causes “deadly obesity” and place it right next to the “smaller portions” statement!!

Otherwise, PERFECT! LOL!

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

“I won it, but just barely. I felt it was corrupting,”

It sure was Harry. You have been corrupt every since.

[John S Mosby]

And did not fess up to how exactly they would have obtained IRS tax filings for romney in the first place. The man is a criminal in the well of the Senate where he can and does say anything. At least Byrd was entertaining. This man is nuts.

[formosa]

There is majority in DC that belong in a straight jacket. Are there no judges left in this country with the courage to commit these nuts.

[Starstruck]

Laz, I seriously hope you sent that.. What a hoot!!

Just double dog dare him and Laz will hit send and Harry will be so screwed.

[Night Hides Not]

Laz, have to correct you on the missing keyboard keys, at least the “w”. That was Clinton’s fault.

[DJ Frisat]

Imaginary headline referencing a Koch brothers interview:

"Harry Reid Sucks" -- Kochs

[GeronL]

government employees unions should not exist, I agree with that too

The Koch Brothers are Harry’s Vietnam.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Ask Harry if its OK to throw Soros in that mix. :-)

[JimSEA]

When Harry was spending his time back in Nevada, he did his best to put the gold mines out of business. The unspoken problem was the owners weren’t Nevadans and wouldn’t finance his campaigns and other enterprises.

The Crime element in Las Vegas must have crazy Harry by the short hairs.
