OMG!-Sen Vitter: "Koch Brothers are two of the most patriotic Americans in the history of the Earth"

Vitter made the comments during a March 18 town hall at Blanchard Elementary School in Blanchard, Louisiana.

"I think the Koch Brothers are two of the most patriotic Americans in the history of the Earth," Vitter said. That line sparked applause from the audience.

Later on during the town hall, Vitter heaped some more praise on the Koch brothers, which again, sparked applause.

"Maybe this is a good example because I'll be honest with you, God Bless the Koch brothers," Vitter added. "They're fighting for our freedoms."

I guess really he is implying that Earth IS the center of the universe. Seems to be one of their biggest problems along with understanding humans. Anyone explain stars to him? He probably thinks the Sun is some big God orb Jesus lives in and parks his chariot.

...such as myself, to have the opportunity to publicly ask the Koch brothers the following question -

"How much more money do you personally need?" And to have the encounter set up so an honest answer was required. No BS'ing about whatever it is that they BS about like being job creators and other such crap, but just how much more money do these 2 obscenely wealthy SOBs need before they would no longer feel the need to manipulate everything in this country for their own personal gain.

Kind of like in court, with the old, "Just a yes or no answer." I'd really like to hear an actual dollar figure.

He may be correct about the Koch brothers. They may be the most patriotic people on the face of the earth. It just happens that they are on the opposite side of our belief system. Imagine if we had a Koch Brother system for the Democrats....what good we can continue too do, but we are on the receiving end of their "type" of patriotism....and that is bad for the country....as Democrats go...

The Koch's fight for freedom is perverse. They work to destroy our climate, the future of mankind, and also attack our American democracy. They are sick sociopaths who will leave a terrible legacy to their descendants.
