'Dear Koch Brothers: We Aren't Going Anywhere' (Dems doubling down)
Politico ^ | 11/7/14 | KENNETH P. VOGEL and TARINI PARTI

Democrats are doubling down on their attacks against the Koch brothers.

Prompted by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Democrats spent millions of dollars spotlighting Republican ties to the billionaire conservative megadonors Charles and David Koch. But despite Republicans — and some Democrats — publicly decrying the strategy after Tuesday’s GOP wave as an ineffective waste of money, Reid told allies on election night that he planned to continue hammering the brothers, according to an operative close to him.

And big-money liberal groups ranging from the Democrats’ Senate campaign arm and House super PAC to the outfits run by billionaire Tom Steyer and conservative-turned-liberal enforcer David Brock all signaled that they intended to pursue anti-Koch spending and oppo tactics headed into the 2016 election.

Brock’s American Bridge outfit on Thursday began circulating a memo to senior Democratic congressional aides and big money groups making the case for redoubling the effort to make the Kochs into boogeymen.

If Dingy is still looking for scapegoats, he should look in a mirror. My guess is the Rats will throw him under the bus January 2nd.

I dunno, by all accounts both he and Pelosi intend to stay on as leaders. I doubt the Dems have the huevos to so anything about it.

What’s funny is that the Koch Brothers are pro-gay, pro-amnesty, they aren’t even conservatives.

Is there ANY rich conservative donors out there?

Justice would be the Republicans going after Mr. Penis Breath(David Brock). This sodomite is a true enemy of all that is decent. I wish the Koch Brothers would fund some deep opposition research into Steyer/Soros/Weinstein/Brock etc. These vermin MUST have some awful secrets they are trying to hide.

You may very well be right. The Rats never could take responsibility for anything they screwed up. They just didn't throw enough money at it.

PS: Koch Brothers, when you die we will marry your widows and run for Senate with your money. We will infiltrate your foundations and make them contribute to global warming groups and gay marriage causes. We never quit and you can’t kill us off.

The funniest thing is that the libertarian Koch Brothers aren’t even in the top 40 of big spenders on politics.
