EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: Scott Brown Begs David Koch For Money »

At the public dedication of MIT’s David H. Koch Integrative Cancer Institute last Friday, Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) effusively thanked conservative billionaire David Koch for supporting his election in 2010 and made a plea for help in his re-election campaign next year. David Koch directly gave the National Republican Senatorial Committee $30,400 in November 2009, and the Koch Industries PAC threw in $15,000 to NRSC plus $5,000 more directly to Brown right before Brown’s special election. In the following exchange, Brown thanks Koch and his wife Julia (off-camera) for their support, saying “I can certainly use it again”:

BROWN: Your support during the election, it meant a ton. It made a difference and I can certainly use it again. Obviously, the –

KOCH: When are you running for the next term?

BROWN: ’12.

KOCH: Oh, okay.

BROWN: I’m in the cycle right now. We’re already banging away.

43. Just being who he is..
You said it Scuba.
Why this state voted for him. Why they chose HIM to replace Ted Kennedy.
He is incompetent and major embarrassment showing his true self.
He may not be as obvious as Scott Wanker but don't be fooled, he's just as bad.

'Wisconsin bill aimed to bust Democrats'

The main reason behind Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker's union-busting efforts is to damage the base of the opposition base, the Democratic Party, says Professor Tom Kemp at the University of Wisconsin.

"Everybody knows that the unions contribute heavily to Democrats and severe damage to the unions which this bill does would damage the Democratic Party's ability to fundraise," Dr. Kemp noted.

"Who backs Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's campaign against unions?"

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker has been launching an assault against organized labor. But he is not alone in his attack on the rights of people in Wisconsin. There is big money behind the governor and they won't cease their assault until they can achieve their objectives.

20. MA Dems WON BIGTIME in 2010, and Capuano can beat naked man.
MA didn't lose a single D seat in 2010. They had an awesome field operation. A model for the nation. Naked man just needs to be beaten to shit on his sleazy relationship with Koch the corrupt swine and every shitty right wing vote this asshole has cast in the Senate.

25. Brown looks away in the beginning as he talks to Koch. I think that
means that he feels ashamed. Only when Koch turns toward Brown, physically shifts his body toward Brown to catch his eye, does Brown look Koch in the eye. I think Brown is ashamed of asking for money and maybe also afraid to ask for money.

We need to change our system.

How would you like to have a job where you constantly have to ask people for money for a political campaign. I used to do fundraising for homeless people. I burned out. It is a horrible task.

No wonder politics attracts such hideous individuals. The most important quality for a politician is to be able to hit up people for money.

How can we expect our politicians to feel anything other than total indebtedness for their big donors.

If you really need a job to feed your family, and someone gives you a job, you feel indebted to them. So the beggar politicians feel indebted to the big donors. That is why our country is so corrupt.

Thanks for posting the video. I learned a lot from it.

40. It attracts individuals like these because ...
... they can use the philosophy, "why should I vote when I can buy the outcome?"

Personally, I think Brown turns away from him from stinky oral hygiene brought on by disgusting denture flop.

I suppose this is nothing new but wouldn't you think the Koch's would be tired of such crassly easy pickers? Obviously their avarice outweighs their intellect.

If you ever needed a simple explanation for why we need real campaign finance reform, there it is. I couldn't meet my Senator face-to-face in a million years, but if you have money, well, that's different.
