'Dear Koch Brothers: We Aren't Going Anywhere' (Dems doubling down)
Politico ^ | 11/7/14 | KENNETH P. VOGEL and TARINI PARTI

Democrats are doubling down on their attacks against the Koch brothers.

Prompted by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Democrats spent millions of dollars spotlighting Republican ties to the billionaire conservative megadonors Charles and David Koch. But despite Republicans — and some Democrats — publicly decrying the strategy after Tuesday’s GOP wave as an ineffective waste of money, Reid told allies on election night that he planned to continue hammering the brothers, according to an operative close to him.

And big-money liberal groups ranging from the Democrats’ Senate campaign arm and House super PAC to the outfits run by billionaire Tom Steyer and conservative-turned-liberal enforcer David Brock all signaled that they intended to pursue anti-Koch spending and oppo tactics headed into the 2016 election.

Brock’s American Bridge outfit on Thursday began circulating a memo to senior Democratic congressional aides and big money groups making the case for redoubling the effort to make the Kochs into boogeymen.

Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results each time.

The Dems just went somewhere, which is out.

Steyer’s $74 million investment in the midterms is looking good right about now, ain’t it?

When the lame duck session starts, Reid will go stark, raving batshit bonkers..Can you imagine his comments when he takes the floor the first day?

Wouldn't it be great if the Koch brothers were both in the Senate gallery that day to wave and smile at Harry?

I don’t know who is dumber . . . Harry Reid or the Russian guy in the article two spaces above who wants to provide Putin’s sperm to Russian women!

How about we impregnate Pelosi with Putin’s sperm? Imagine the children that would spawn!

What’s funny is that the Koch Brothers are pro-gay, pro-amnesty, they aren’t even conservatives.

"is this pronounced coke or kotch?"

I've heard it both ways, so I don't really know with any degree of certainty!

That session will be one for the books. How many soon to be unemployed Dems will bother to show up, I wonder.

Tom Steyer gets little payoff for millions spent on green issues

But California hedge fund titan Tom Steyer's $74-million bet — most of it from his own wallet — yielded little payoff. On Tuesday, voters elected the most hostile Congress environmentalists have faced in years
