Koch Brothers Busy Running On Empty
The Koch Brothers may be busy stonewalling Congress on how many more billions they'll make on the Keystone pipeline, but it's not all they're doing. Their Americans For Prosperity is also launching a Running on Empty campaign to blame the White House "and the liberal Left's reckless green policies" for high gas prices - even though a ThinkProgress report finds the Koch's own oil speculation is more to blame. They're also prepping for next week's RightOnline Conference in Minnesota, aimed at "taking down MoveOn.org and the left-wing Netroots," including George Soros. From The Other 98%, a reminder to "choose your billionaires wisely." Bonus: From RightOnline keynote speaker Herman Cain, his new campaign video. Is this a great country, or what?

Show AllIt's not just unions they are afraid of? MoveOn.org scares them too?
I know what led to higher fuel prices. Banks like Goldman Sachs were allowed to purchase oil at rock bottom prices with TARP funds and park it offshore until the prices went up. If I'd gotten free money with no strings attached I may of done the same thing. If I was only interested in profitting through the exploitation of others. But I am not that kind of person.

It's interesting that Mr.Cain thinks he would be good for this country.......
Next he will be trying to rewrite history to suit his gaffes/agenda/or whatever may suit him......Reichties are nortorious for doing that.......
LOL, the Reichties want to do away with Moveon.org, why, because they make you-Reichties look dumb, talk about stifling free speech.....I thought Reichties were about freedom and everything American.....I guess, it would have to be which way the wind is blowing, one minute you about America and it's principle's such Freedom of speech and then you are not.......I call that, FLIP - FLOP......and they called it Flipper, Flipper, faster than lightning........LOL
High gas prices are the result of monopolistic business practices by the Koch's, commodities speculation (probably also the Koch's) and the refusal of Saudi Arabia to pump enough oil becaue they are angry at the US for supporting Mubarek.
