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

Posted on 11/07/2014 9:18:11 AM PST by jalisco555

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.

The Koch Brothers are more Libertarian than Conservative....

Not true. They do lean a smidge libertarian, but they are on board with the vast majority of what we would call Reagan Palin Limbaugh Levin Tea Party conservatism.

Insanity?

The Dems DO HAVE (by abdication of Issa and corruption
of Cummings) both control of NSA and all communications
and IRS control, and ObamaCARE Deathpanels,
of everyone in America except those
who are not protected by Holder (black criminals,
terrorists) and the EXEMPT (Congress, SCOTUS, Moslems).

The media will help Reid and that’s why he’s doing it.

What the Democrats are trying to accomplish:

1. Associate the Republicans with big money in the lo-fo public mind in order to build support for

2. Outlawing the right of ordinary citizens and businesses to spend money in politics so that (a) only government may finance political campaigns (the self-perpetuating progressive bureaucracy) and (b) only the voice of the MSM may legally shape the political field.

I think old Harry should keep hammering on the Koch Bros because no one cares and in all probability no one is going to start caring. It makes him look like the crazy uncle that lives in Grandma’s basement that you keep the young children away from at Thanksgiving.

Keep wasting your money on your fellow Communists and you’ll soon be a lowly millionaire.

What you read and reality are two entirely different things then.

Tell me one reason why they would be considered “more libertarian” than conservative, and why they would not be mostly a mainstream Reagan conservative?

Dear Dumbasses,

Re: "We're not going anywhere"

You don't need to.

You're already there thanks to the American people.

Have a nice day,

The Koch Brothers.
