Harry Reid: Paul Ryan budget creates 'Koch-topia'
Politico ^ | 04/01/2014 | By BURGESS EVERETT

Posted on 04/01/2014 10:39:57 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid preemptively slammed the budget proposal Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) will release Tuesday, calling it a document written to pander to the Koch brothers and other billionaires.

“It’s a blueprint for a modern… how would we say this? Koch-topia. Yes, that’s it,” Reid said. “Call it whatever you want. We might as well call it the Koch budget because that’s what they’re doing, protecting the Koch brothers.”

Reid’s remarks mark the latest volley in Democrats’ mid-term election year strategy of attacking the Kochs repeatedly, hoping to fire up their liberal base and associate Republicans with the brothers in the minds of voters. And while a poll last week showed that most Americans don’t know who the Koch brothers are, 45 percent of self-identified liberals said they have a negative opinion of them.

Reid dared conservative outside groups to “fire away” at him for his fiery election-year attacks on the billionaire Koch brothers.

Speaking after the group American Encore spent $30,000 on Monday airing ads in Nevada dinging Reid for “attacking free speech,” the Senate majority leader launched a rebuttal aimed at Charles and David Koch, harshly criticizing their role in politics and influence among Republicans.

Reid called American Encore one of the Kochs’ “puppet organizations,” likening it to Americans for Prosperity, the Koch-backed group that’s poured millions in attack ads onto vulnerable Senate Democrats for their support of Obamacare and climate change stances.

Harry Reid.

Harry Reid.

Is that not the senile, crooked, loathsome POS that sometimes appears on my television screen when I accidentially dialed in the “Sewer Channel....er Senate Channel”?

Shove it up your smelly Obama, Whorehouse Harry. I eagerly await the opportunity to take a bodacious Obama on your slimy grave.

Why would I want to do that? I hope he keeps it up all the way to November.

Hey Harry, spouting this nonsense makes you sound like a fool and you’re too stupid to realize it.

So just keep it up Einstein.

Let’s jujitsu and use the Democrats obsession with Koch brothers for our advantage and against them.

Like when Harry Reid says this, we say something like: “you must be exhausted with the Koch’s running circles around your head”..

A little mockery would be good for Senator Reid.

This guy is the Senate majority leader. There is absolutely no hope for America unless the 17th Amendment is abolished and the 10th Amendment is strengthened.

Harry is obsessed with the Koch brothers. How does an old fart, senile Senator get away with targeting one family, who has done more to help the poor & sick than this old fool ever has (even with taxpayers money) is beyond me!
