Republican legislator to Kochs' AFP: 'You people serve absolutely no purpose'

[Triana]

Republican frustration over the Koch brothers' rule is expanding beyond Montana, all the way across the country to Florida, where a Republican legislator has had just about enough of being targeted as not conservative enough by the Kochs' Americans for Prosperity. In a hearing on a bill she's proposed to create incentives for the film industry to come to Florida, Sen. Nancy Detert blasted AFP.

"I appreciate the mail-outs that you do against me on a monthly basis that say I give money to Hollywood moguls, which, of course, I don't have any money to give, and neither does the state of Florida give money to Hollywood moguls.
"You're all on the Koch brothers' payroll. Good for you. I'm glad you're all employed ... I hope you're getting paid a lot of money to show up to these meetings and say meaningless things.

"Obviously you're for prosperity for yourself and not anyone else ... You people serve absolutely no purpose."

[First Speaker]

1. maybe, one by one, at least some Repubs are being converted to sanity...

...that doesn't mean they do, or shall ever, agree with me. But it might mean they're prepared to inhabit the empirical world they're supposed to be helping to govern. We can but hope...

2. I don't think most repukes start out evil.

The big money folks do, but the little guys really believe in less government, etc. Eisenhower style, not Nixon. I've converted several when they realize what the moneymen are up to - and my neighbor, a huge repub! Has a KOCH BROS GO HOME sticker on his front door now - and voted Dem in the last election cycle.

It's not the people. It's the system.
