In a move that highlights a growing rift in conservative ranks, Koch Industries -- the privately held energy conglomerate owned by billionaires Charles and David Koch -- today distanced the firm from allied political groups lobbying to keep the government shut down unless Obamacare is defunded. . .

. . .But privately, Koch officials have expressed concern to lawmakers that the prospect of a government default over the Obamacare issue would be a "disaster" for the economy, according to one GOP consultant who recently discussed the matter with Koch officials and asked for anonymity. Koch Industries associates note that the firm is widely diversified, including last month's $7.2 billion purchase of a company that makes connectors for Apple iPhones and other consumer products -- one of many markets that could be effected by spikes in credit resulting from a government default
Hold steady guys, this is more astro-turf bullshit.
Keep your eyes focused on the hands, and you'll never see the foot that kicks you in the balls...

The KOCK Broz and now Heritage Action and Freedom Works (who are all massive money sugar daddies for Teawipe Kongrasspersons) last week were "true believers" in the shutdown to the point of having recently funded $236M+ worth of ads against 100 Republican't Kongrasspersons that have been signaling a desire to end the shutdown, are NOW saying either, "Who, me?" in the case of the KOCK Broz or, as is the case with the other two, "End the shutdown with a clean bill NOW."

The Wall Street Urinal finally had to point out to the Teawipes and their patrons that the worldwide financial situation is poised to move downhill in a hurry and that all of this "it won't be so bad, in fact it may even be beneficial" horsepucky is merely the wet dream talking points of dumbasses. Isn't it odd how Really Big Money suddenly changes direction when it becomes known that they will lose up to half of their new worth if the US defaults?

The problem with our resident Teawipe Geniuses is that they are silly little foot soldiers of the plutocrats, NOT members of the "1%," (or even the "30%") and too fu*king stupid to realize it.
The Gop already abandoned defunding Obamacare as a negotiating position.....you and the Koch's are behind the times.
When did you abandon it whirl a turd?

You are a fringe group. You are like the nuts on the far left, you balance each other out. You are the Code Pink of the GOP.
You said the TP is in decline; you offer no proof..........

I say it is in ascendancy; I have offered up proof - election wins, recall victories, recall defeats, influencing agenda, etc.

You are just blow smoke and hope someone buys it..........

If you have proof of your claim that the TP is in decline; then please provide it.
