The Walker Tapes- is this a gamechanger in WI?

[AlphaCrab]

Walker wants to mark his territory in a pissing contest that he hopes places him next to the mentally unstable former President Reagan in History...

...What he will end up being is just a footnote to the zany "Teabag-cracy" Movement of 2009-2012.

The Tea Party foks need to understand the Koch Bros aren't really their friends.

And liberals need to understand that George Soros is not theirs either.

You mind explaining how they are different? Opposite sides of the same coin IMHO.

My impression is that the Koch Brothers are trying to influence policy to protect and strengthen their business interests (e.g. kill unions so they can pay less in comp/benefits, etc. which goes straight to their bottom line, remove regulation so they can decrease their expenses, etc.). They do this in spite of the fact that it would negatively impact the quality of life of many Americans.

Tell me if I'm off.

And tell us what your understanding is of Soros and what he's trying to do.

He's bad because beck/limbaugh/etc. say so.

 

[LuciferSam]

I know one difference is that Soros is self-made. Can't say that about the koch brothers.

Koch executives are saying that the hoax and protests have only strengthened the Koch brothers' determination to continue to use their billions to promote a national agenda that includes gutting the power of unions and deregulating industry.

"With the Left trying to intimidate the Koch brothers to back off of their support for freedom and signaling to others that this is what happens if you oppose the administration and its allies, we have no choice but to continue to fight," says Richard Fink, the executive vice president of Koch Industries. "We will not step back at all."
