In a remarkable turn of events, the Koch Brothers symbolically threw in the towel on the debt ceiling strategy of their tea party drones by sending a letter to the Senate, claiming Reid lied about the Kochs supporting the GOP brinksmanship.

In fact, the Koch Brothers are lying: their shill organization, Freedom Works, has stridently cheered on the tea party's attempt to destroy ACA using the debt ceiling as a cudgel.

Still, it appears that the tea party pharaohs have decided that destroying the US economy might actually affect their lifestyle. It's a good assumption this means the end of the GOPs powerplay.

But what is more disturbing is that the Koch Brothers would even write such a letter. They realize that they are basically pulling the strings of the GOP and have the gall to directly write to the Senate to tell them what to do. An outrageous affront to our democracy.

Actually I'm a Lutheran, but try to focus on the topic.

Given that the tea party is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Koch Brothers, I would think you'd be interested in what the two Rasputinlike buffoons would have to say on the issue currently driving the GOP into extinction, especially when it seems to disown the strategy.
