WI, IND, OH, FL, NJ: Is this Part 1 in a Koch Brothers coup d'état
Edited on Wed Feb-23-11 07:13 PM by Homer12

I get the sneaking suspicion that the Koch Brother's have started a coup against the federal government by using Ambitious/Stupid Tea Bagger Governors competing for national attention using them as their "Suicide Bombers" going after States first?

I'm not to keen on calling people who I ideologically disagree with Traitors, but I am willing to call the Koch Brothers and their tools just that, since they use their vast power for their own interests against the greater good of every American.

Our Union is only as strong as its collective States.

3. It's unclear to me...
... Why the Koch brothers would start a closed body car against the government. But I'll be against it anyway.

10. I'm loving all this bat-shit crazy right wing stuff.
This week I've had two more republicans who voted for McCain tell me they wouldn't vote for a Republican again if you paid them to do it. One was because of Walker and the other because of the bizarre abortion bills being introduced in various states.

5. I agree they are Traitors
and should be arrested and given an extremely public trial and then thrown into a deep dark hole where we never hear from them again.

6. There would seem to be a pretty strong connection. That stupid governor
in Wisconsin doesn't seem to have a very plausible explanation at all for why he is doing what he is doing. It's as though he's brazening this thing out because he was told to just shut up & do this right away. You figure he'd take a 20 min call from you or me?

13. Remember - the right wing coup d'état was stopped the first time around.

And that was before the Internet era.

14. A monetary view of their participation in the political process
<http://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/summary.php?id=D000000186&cycle=2010>

While they do funnel money to both sides, rebutticans enjoy a significantly deeper level of support, but I guess we're not supposed to worry about whether that's mutual.
