Billionaire conservative businessman Charles Koch’s political network is freezing out Republicans that it believes have violated its fiscally conservative principles, and is, at least for now, only supporting four Senate GOP candidates in the fall.

Maddow did everything she could to present Americans for Prosperity as some kind of big company group that is "busing in" their people to take over these meetings. Phillips got in a good line when he said, "I am a community organizer - I'm qualified to be President." He also slapped Maddow down by reminding her that many Left organizations are funded by George Soros, far more so than anything they are...
