Christie To Harry Reid: 'Stop Picking On Great Americans' Charles And David Koch [View all]

Guess we know who butters his toast?

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) has a message for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV): leave Charles and David Koch alone!

Reid has escalated his tirade against the billionaire Koch brothers, who donate heavily to Republican causes, recently calling them "un-American" and accusing Senate Republicans of being "addicted to Koch."

Addressing the Conservative Political Action Conference in Maryland on Thursday, Christie told attendees that Republicans must rise above the vitriol and offer a more positive message.

"We have to start talking about what we're for and not continuing to rail against what we're against is because of one simple reason, our ideas are better than their ideas," he said. "And if you need any further example of that, just look at what's going on in terms of what they're for in Washington, D.C. What they're for in Washington, D.C. is to have the leader of the Senate Democrats stand up and rail against two American entrepreneurs who have built a business, created jobs and created wealth.

I think we need to find out how many meetings Christly has had with the Kochs, Inc. I know of two.

And good luck with that ideas thingy. I haven't seen one in going on 30 years from the GOPer side, maybe more.
