Reid says he will back a Constitutional Amendment to limit the Koch Brothers... and Harry is so crazy-mad-head-over-heels-in-love with these Koch's, I actually expect the Amendment to name the Koch Brothers BY NAME.
After all, if he writes an Amendment that limits every rich person's money in politics, what will George Soros do? What will J.J. Abrams do? What will Michael Bloomberg do? No, the Amendment will HAVE to mention those Koch gentlemen by name.
In the meantime, here is my letter to Harry Reid:
Dear Harry,
The Koch Brothers cause global warming, infanticide, glacial formation, the sinking of the Titanic, the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, and fire ants. The Koch Brothers are the cause of late mail, lack of adequate punctuation, the heartbreak of psoriasis, and feminine itching. The Koch Brothers are the cause of fixed greyhound races, the metric system, errors in longitudinal measurements, and smaller portions. The Koch Brothers are the cause of angry wives, Speedos on fat people, mismatched socks, and mold on cucumbers. The Koch Brothers are the cause of the Zombie Apocalypse, interstellar planetary collisions, muteness in albinos, and killer bees. The Koch Brothers are the cause of gingivitis, off-key chorus singing, air inversions, and incremental floods. The Koch Brothers are the cause of fans that quit, entropy, soap shards in the shower, and fat girls. The Koch Brothers are the cause of cold oatmeal, excessive blogging, sweat stains, and misfires in 9mm ammunition. The Koch Brothers are the cause of cabinet doors that do not line up, cracks in the sidewalk, the scourge of heroin, and every plane crash since 1972. The Koch Brothers are the cause of low toner, high transmission rates, delivery service price increases, and gaudy shirts. The Koch Brothers are the cause of splinters, earth tremors, Gamma ray emission by the element Lawrencium, and the lack of hobbits in real life. The Koch Brothers are the cause of Facebook monitoring, trigger happy SWAT teams, pencil-neck geeks, and the Yellowstone Cauldera. The Koch Brothers are the cause of Russia, France, Sweden, and Zambia. The Koch Brothers are the cause of carborator buildup, broken bungee cords, small portions, and a lack of friendly greetings in cities. The Koch Brothers are the cause of paper cuts, whirlpools, thunder, and machine disconnects. The Koch Brothers are the cause of honey badgers, rigidity, painful exercise, and linear contraction. The Koch Brothers are the cause of regression analysis, microstamping, failed unions, and misaligned microwave towers. The Koch Brothers are the cause of blurry lenses, spider bites, stains, and legless crocodiles. The Koch Brothers are the cause of missing keyboard keys, unexpected phone calls, broken pottery, and squeaking doors.
Love,
Laz
I only wish that is where the Republican Party is today. But we all know it isn't. Reid is lying and the media is letting him. The GOP is Dem-light but gets tagged in the media as wanting to do away with Social Security and taxes. And they don't know how to respond other than attacking the one voice of sanity in the party -- the Tea Party -- which wants to cut spending back to sane levels and balance the budget.
Ok, Harry, why don’t YOU list by name your financiers. OK?
Start with the mob, whom you get your bagman percent from regularly. The moron tablenapkin choir who sings your songs of sixpence. A perv of the first order.
Laz, you got “smaller portions” and “small portions” in that letter.
I suggest that you remove one of those references and replace it. I would replace it with causes “deadly obesity” and place it right next to the “smaller portions” statement!!
Otherwise, PERFECT! LOL!
“I won it, but just barely. I felt it was corrupting,”
It sure was Harry. You have been corrupt every since.
Laz, have to correct you on the missing keyboard keys, at least the “w”. That was Clinton’s fault.
"Harry Reid Sucks" -- Kochs
The Koch Brothers are Harry’s Vietnam.
The Crime element in Las Vegas must have crazy Harry by the short hairs.
“I felt it was corrupting, all this corporate money, Reid added.”
Looky-looky! Reid seems to be admitting that he is, in fact, corrupt!
So, the Koch Bros are responsible for all that bad stuff, but not Erectile Dysfunction????
You left out Iron Poor Blood and The Heartbrak of Psoriasis
Lol, good job, very tenacious and very funny!
Laz!
You forgot that they cause sacrococcygeal fistulae!
Harry,
Pull your head out of Obama’s backside and get some air. I would say I regret you are consuming oxygen that is mine but I don’t think that addled brain of yours has gotten oxygen for 6 years.
I think the old coot would run with it.
Good, let him propose an amendment. He may get a Senate vote in favor but it will never get out of the House. The next time “campaign finance” comes before the Supreme Court the pro first amendment people can point out the attempt to change the Constitution to restrict free speech didn’t pass.
Every time Reid talks about the wonderful McCain/Feingold law McConnell and McCain should be publicly reminding him it was Obama who trashed the law in the 2008 campaign by refusing public financing once McCain had accepted it and its limits. Obama chose to accept unlimited corporate money and spent almost a billion dollars after promising to adhere to McCain/Feingold. The Republicans should be slapping Harry in the face with this, particularly McCain who was both the author of the bill and the loser when the Dems walked away from campaign finance. Why are the Republicans allowing the Democrats to make this an issue? Call out the hypocrisy!! Instead we get silence.
Actually, there’s some campaign rules I could support.
ALL persons/campaigns/PACs/whatevers are required to maintain records of where their contributions come from. No anonymous donations. In combination with:
Tax nexus-like status. For any given campaign, if you don’t have a presence (work, residence) in any candidate’s district, you are not allowed to contribute in that election. City mayor? you gotta live or work INSIDE that city to interfere with that race. State Rep? Only if you’re in their district. US Senator? Gotta have ties to that state.
