= new reply since forum marked as read
I hate to be a Nervous Nellie, but sometimes I worry for her safety. I would not want to be on the Kochs' enemies list. 
there is still one law left to break....these "non profits" are not to coordinate with candidates ,they are supposed to be issue driven but thanks to a secret recording published by brad of brad blog we KNOW the kochs and Christie met and coordinated for Christie's benefit.......where are the feds on this illegal activity?

As noteworthy, if not more so, billionaire brother David Koch is heard introducing the Governor and revealing, among other things, that he had met privately with Christie in Koch's New York City office a few months prior, "just the two of us - for about two hours," according to the audio tapes. Afterward, the oil-and-chemical magnate, said to be worth $22 billion (just like his brother, as they both inherited their father's fortune), determined that Christie was "a true political hero" and "my kind of guy."
David Koch's "kind of guy." Well, that's the sort of thing that could leave a mark. Especially when the entire thing is recorded for posterity on audio tape. Perhaps that's why Christie didn't want anybody to know he was hobnobbing with the Kochs...or what he had to say at their secret shindig, including (but hardly limited to):
•Details on wielding extraordinary unitary executive powers to declare a "fiscal emergency" upon taking office in order to impound billions in planned spending ("The good news for all of you and for me is that the governorship in New Jersey is the most powerful constitutional governorship in America."
;
•Snookering and strong-arming Democrats in the state Legislature to cut pensions and benefits and collective bargaining rights from public workers ("You know, I cannot believe how stupid these people are" ;
•How the same tactics and strong-arm governance he's brought to New Jersey need to be applied to the country as a whole, and;
•How his next major plan for his Garden State constituents is to crush the power of public school teachers ("We need to take on the teachers' union once and for all."
