Don’t do it man! The Kochs will go after you labeling you a RINO and claiming that you actually believe in climate change!

Someone forgot who he really works for. His leash will be yanked momentarily.

But—But Obama!

“Since you’ve put on the record that the Senate is engaged in pursuing some very amazing policies, to quote you, would you mind sending a mailer to all of our constituents that you sent the original mailer to, suggesting we’re engaged in some ‘really amazing’ policy development and follow up on your comments here at this committee?”

So now the GOP/Teatrolls are openly coordinating their messaging with Koch brothers groups on the floors of state legislatures? Is AFP a PAC? Isn’t this fucking illegal?

Koch-blocked

Lay down with dogs, wake up with fleas. I don’t suppose he minded when the AFP was pouring money into his state to get his sorry ass elected… now he finds out what selling his soul really cost him.

Aw, c’mon. He’s a Republican. Rene’s pissed-off because he didn’t think of the mailers first.

callmeeric · April 16, 2015, 4:46pm

Rand Paul has a special-interest in these idea men.

You think that’s bad. Wait till you see what those fuckers in Tennessee tried to do to mass bus transit. AFP under the Koch Bros’., whose attempts to buy their way and take over the country if not the world, got Tennessee legislators to consider a bill banning all mass transit bus service (or BRT) in metropolitan areas of that state. Apparently for now, its been amended. These Kochsuckers need to be taken down. They are the scum of the earth.

our Florida legislature is like watching Looney Tunes cartoons.

Misinformation - sometimes it’s all you got.

oldvet · April 16, 2015, 4:58pm

Hell, the Koch Machine has probably already picked someone like Alan West to run against him in the next election.

They left out the undermining of the U.S. Government.

Rachel revealed that there is an effort underway by a Koch spinoff to privatize the Veterans’ Administration. Leading the charge is a pro-Iraq War Vets For Freedom The more freedom the Kochs grant the more enslaved we’ll become.

When the Sturmabteilung are questioning the Schutzstaffel you know that things are not going well in conservofascism land.
