......organisations tracking money in politics say the Kochs' biggest impact in the midterm elections will be from funding and providing logistical support to such groups as Americans for Prosperity (AFP), one of the biggest Tea Party groups.

"It's so freaking easy to manipulate the dumb TeaBaglicons (R), especially with Fox 'news' and Rush DraftDodger Limbaugh, and the other Chickenhawk PropagandaPimps (R) like Beck, Hannity, and O'Reilly on our propaganda team. Smirk."

6. This info needs to go viral
I sent a link to this article to everyone in my address book and asked them to forward it on as well. This is the type of info that may help to close the enthusiasm gap. People need to fight back against it.
