    Wow. What a strategy. Dems are running in November again the Koch Brothers. AND the Koch Brothers aren't even running!!!! Gee.....I am just so shocked the Dems are NOT running on the oh-so-wonderful-Obamacare. :) :) :) Nah....it's always best (In Dems' minds) to create a bogeyman. It's what they've always done....and especially this time when they have little or nothing to point to as a positive.

    "Political attacks on the Koch brothers have emerged as a key, practically everyday part of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and his Democratic Party’s 2014 election strategy -- accusing the wealthy conservative donors of trying to buy elections and block aid to Ukraine.

    The attacks began in earnest last month when the Nevada Democrat in notable floor speeches accused Charles and David Koch of being “un-American” and “trying to buy America” and continued straight through this week."

    The dims like to provide fodder for the MSM. Dims know they can expose their hypocrisy and dishonesty, but get by with it in the MSM.:smile:

    they aren't running against the 56 people that bundle more money than the Koch boys? you think that might be because those 56 others support liberal candidates?

    Yep. You won't hear Harry Reid or any of the Democrats demonizing this California multi-Billionaire who got rich running a Hedge Fund:

    Tom Steyer plans to spend $100 million in mid-term elections ‘to enact climate change measures through a hard-edge campaign of attack ads." In other words he wants to unseat anyone who doesn't believe in Climate Change being caused by man... and plans to run ads against them. He alone is why we see stories popping up about Hillary Clinton touting the dangers of climate change. She and the other Dems are doing as their BIG DONOR wants them to do....in order to get the money.

    Many Democrats demonize the Koch brothers, as if there were some neutral principle at stake here: Why, it just seems, well, morally unhygienic to allow large sums of private cash to corrupt public campaigns.

    Oddly enough, however, these same Democrats seldom (if ever) complain when, say, the billionaire, Tim Steyer, pledges $50 million of his own money to Democratic candidates who toe the environmentalist line.

    Or when George Soros spends lavishly upon Democratic candidates, either...

    But, to quote Mitt Romney there's 47% of suckers who do believe the Koch bros are worse; they support the 'other side' after all.

    If your main issues are Benghazi, IRS targeting, NSA spying, the disaster that is Obamacare, the economy that is in perpetual recovery only it doesn't ever recover, unemployment, and a foreign policy which makes America a laughingstock, wouldn't you be talking about the Koch Brothers as well? I thought so.
