"We're helping him, as we should. We've gotten pretty good at this over the years," he told the Palm Beach Post over the weekend. "We've spent a lot of money in Wisconsin. We're going to spend more."
According to the Wisconsin Democracy Project, the Koch-funded Americans for Prosperity, along with another group, spent $1.1 million on three TV ads for Walker in the fall and spent an additional $700,000 earlier this month on another ad buy. http://www.progressive.org/koch_brother_brags_about_helping_walker.htm
"A Few Americans For Our Own Prosperity at the Expense of Everyone Else" is more like it.
This is exactly what it is about.
Gee, where are all those Tea Party folks that want unification? I can't see them anywhere.......
The Tea Party is over. LOL!
YES!!!!
LOLOL!
they are in Wash D.C. and state capitals impacting policy , which is the next logical step. Can't be stuck protesting forever.
Impacting policies in what way? Not my way. Not the way that is best for the majority of Americans in my opinion.
that's why its called a democracy. What do you think Occupy is trying to do?
Fair enough. We'll see who wins in the end. We should at least all come together to get money out of politics. Agreed?
now we are talking. i'm a conservative but agree with some of Occupy's points. I listen, and i decide which policies, i think , in my humble opinion are best for me, my family and country.
Nice.
Yes! Money out!!!!!!!!!
In support of that as well as cleaning up legislation. Getting rid of earmarks etc.

Thanks, DKAtoday. We should all be able to agree on this one huge thing.
Yep. Forget party politics or party leanings or anything else that works to divide us. We should be beyond that crap and be uniting under common cause. Leave politics out of it.
So, he's saying corrupting the American political system has become routine for them. Another reason for a very high marginal tax rate.
He sounds like somebody talking about a new car they just bought.
Didn't they?
True enough, but I heard there was a recall on that model :).
No, the union says it's theirs and it isn't for sale. LOL.
Who cares abotu holding the ones you VOTE for accountable. Just keep attacking the ones you didnt.
That makes a lot of fuckin sense.
Like yelling at someone else's kids while your own rob the neighbors.

if this is true, what's wrong with a private citizen spending money to support a democratically elected governor? Liberals and left wing fund politicians why aren't you going after them? Soros, Tides Foundation, ACLU, CAIR....
We aren't affiliated with FLAKESnews.
I thought you knew that?
You probably don't know FLAKESnews lies either, or that Murdock likely is a criminal.
if you can't debate, then save your typing strokes for someone else.
Wait......What???
You call what you do debate???
You must be a (R)epelican't. It's the only explanation that fits.
We know that you libtards are only affiliated with media (sucks) matters
Why do you keep bring up mediamatters?
The few times I've been there, I could find no lies.
FLAKESnews does nothing but lie and misdirect.
You're perfect example.
Just so we are clear, you have no problem with them literally purchasing the state of Wisconsin. Further, you have no problem with ALEC.

i support the right for ALEC to exist just like the Media Matters, SIEU, ACLU, moveon have a right to exist. the governor of Wisconsin was elected fairly. The unions are trying to recall him, as they have the right to do or try to do. I don't see you complaining about the big Union money in Wisconsin or Indiana, Ohio to support what they want.
I just want to make sure that I heard you. You support corporations writing legislation.
You have to support ALEC, because (R)epelican'ts are too stupid to write their own legislation.
That's why the corporations created it.
It's really rather sad.
Yep.
I just want to make sure that I heard you. You support corporations writing legislation.
just want to make sure that i heard you, you support Unions writing legislation?
That is what I thought. You sure do. Thanks, tomahawk. Good to know what you are about.
don't be so closed minded. i support some of occupy's ideas, but come on, do you blindly support what Unions do politically with their money?
No, you don't. You don't support OWS and it is very clear. You have no problem with ALEC and the Koch heads.
Who in their right mind would support OWS???? it is about ready to be taken off life support
Keep dreaming.
That's the point, silly.
People of "right" mind don't support anything that's the correct thing to do.
In fact, it's the "right" that needs all the life support it can get.
That's why their PACs are taking in so much money, and knew they needed Citizens United to have any hope of survival.
Ok so you are saying that (raping, murder, social unrest, filth, destruction of property), that goes on in OWS, is the right thing to do??? No thank you
No silly, that's what the (R)epelican'ts and their cohorts do.
You should lay off the crack pipe and shut off FLAKESnews.
It makes you flakey.
Is it fun to be that confused?
Poor pathetic OWS goons have really taken a beating from the conservatives on here
Gov Walker for Pres
OWS is dead. Tea Party rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's even funnier.
Yeah...........and I'm not laughing with you. :D
Go Gov Walker and the Koch brothers!!!!! You rock!!!
Boy, do you look silly.
Please support the Koch brothers by purchasing their products. Have a good day Libtard!!!!!!!
