10. Repackaged Shit Still Smell...

Welcome to the latest round in the rushpublican circular firing squad...the blame game. The Kochs threw a lot of money around last year with little return and now are gonna spend more money to find out ways to waste more money. As long as they lose, that's fine with me, but they're still a very big threat to our democracy and need to be monitored closely...and that's the crux of their problem.

They became an issue in the past election and I expect their names will rise again in the statewide elections of 2014. Alec has been exposed and their motives have been exposed. But that's not their big problem. It's thinking they could pour tons of money in an "air war"...non-stop teevee commercials without much of a ground game. They also backed piss pour candidates that were exposed as being puppets. Ya see...I just saved 'em a lot of bucks...but my hopes are they ignore me and continue to make the same mistakes.

Wouldn't it be cheaper if they just paid their fair share of taxes? FSogol Feb 2013 #1
