The dems keep screeching about the koch bros while ignoring the 800 pound gorilla, (soros and others), in the room. Too, how many democrits have taken money from the koch brothers??

The head of the Louisiana GOP filed a federal ethics complaint Wednesday against Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, claiming the Nevada Democrat has misused taxpayer money for campaign purposes ahead of the 2014 midterm elections as part of his ongoing crusade against GOP mega-donors Charles and David Koch.

Roger Villere, chairman of the Republican Party of Louisiana, sent a letter to the heads of the Senate Select Committee on Ethics — Sens. Barbara Boxer, California Democrat, and Johnny Isakson, Georgia Republican — calling on the lawmakers to investigate whether Mr. Reid has engaged in “campaign activities using staff, equipment and facilities paid for with public funds.”

“Specifically, Senator Reid has violated Senate rules that prohibit Members of the Senate from using websites located on the Senate.gov host-domain for partisan political campaign purposes as well as the prohibitions regarding using official resources for political purposes,” Mr. Villere wrote. “Therefore, we respectful request that the Committee investigate Senator Reid’s misuse of taxpayer resources and sanction him appropriately.”

Mr. Villere highlighted an April 9 post titled “The Facts About the Koch Brothers” on Mr. Reid’s official Senate website that said, among other things, that the Koch brothers want to abolish Social Security, eliminate the minimum wage and dismantle Medicare as we know it.

Mr. Reid’s official Twitter account  also blasted out a graphic “depicting two men wearing suit jackets emblazoned with the Koch Industries Inc. logo stating, ‘Republican senators might as well were Koch insignias to denote their sponsorship.’”

A new ad from the party’s Senate Majority PAC attempting to protect Mary Landrieu from the consequences of her support for Barack Obama’s agenda tried to shift attention in Louisiana to “out-of-state billionaires,” by which they did not mean George Soros or Tom Steyer. The ad claims that the Kochs support “tax cuts for companies that ship our jobs overseas,” but as the Washington Post’s Glenn Kessler deduces, practically nothing in that argument is true … including the that and the for:
