Koch on Walker recall: 'We've spent a lot of money in Wisconsin. We're going to spend more.'

[kpete]

Asked about his efforts to sway public opinion, Koch acknowledges his group is hard at work in places such as Wisconsin, where Gov. Scott Walker is facing off with public unions and grappling with a likely recall vote.

"We're helping him, as we should. We've gotten pretty good at this over the years," he says. "We've spent a lot of money in Wisconsin. We're going to spend more."

By "we" he says he means Americans for Prosperity, which is spending about $700,000 on an "It's working" television ad buy in the state. It credits Walker's public pension and union overhaul with giving school districts the first surpluses they've seen in years. The unions and the left see things differently.

3. thanks for spending your money in Wisconsin, Koch.

Won't do you any good, but the more you spend there, the less you have. But, do you realize how many kittens you could have slaughtered with that amount of money?

Rethinking it now, eh?

5. He wants to 'restore' his image?

So he does so from Palm Beach? That's like standing on Rodeo Dr and talking about the great deals you can get at malwart.

6. Make them dig deep and spend, spend, spend. In the end the voters will prevail and throw the bum

out on the street, or perhaps jail before it's over.
