And as long as we’re spinning “what minimum wage was worth” comparisons …

Check out what the DEMOCRAT Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said from the floor of the United States Senate.
Reid: “It’s just stories! Lies!”
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. And the more than 5 million Americans who have had insurance policies they liked canceled? They’re all lying liars in a giant, right-wing conspiracy? Pull the other one, Harry.
Reid: “Ack! The Koch Brothers are trying to buy America!”
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. Time Warner donated MORE TO DEMOCRATS than the KOCH BROTHERS donated to Republicans. And both of their donations were teensy weensy tater tots compared to the HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS that billionaires, big unions and corporations have shoveled into Democrat coffers.
Obamacrats are absolutely shameless. Five years ago, one of them pimped an equally evil lie from the floor of the House of Representatives.
Those of us who are not brain dead Obamacrats know that the Republican plans were about addressing specific problems in the health insurance market that drive costs up. E.g., States (like New York) that forbid residents to buy health insurance anywhere else.
In New York, Blue Cross has a monopoly; you know what happens when one business controls a commodity, right? It should tell you something about how UNaffordable health insurance has been in New York State that we are one of the few places where ObamaCare prices are similar or a little less.
Dearest couldn’t afford health insurance before ObamaCare; we STILL can’t afford it, but now the government is going to FINE us for not having it. Thanks, Democrats. That was a Big Help. NOT.
Here’s a sampling of Tweets and Twitchy comments in response to Reid’s outrageous claim:
Tweeters also sent around links to some of these allegedly untrue horror stories.
We’re supposed to believe the KOCH BROTHERS are behind ALL THIS when they can’t even engineer a majority in the Senate?! Bwahahahahahahaha!
Update: Reid walked back on his statement. And by that I mean he shifted his lying feet about 1 centimeter, from all the horror stories are lies to the vast, vast majority of the ones the Koch Brothers finance are lies.
Puh-leeze. This is the same man who once swore that he had it on good authority that Mitt Romney had not paid his taxes in years. That was a big fat lie as well … not that the Democrat Media Machine cared.

Feb 24, 2014: Trey Gowdy scorches the David Gregory interview of Susan Rice
Not a scintilla of evidence … stunningly arrogant … Bojangles Drive-Thru … ROFLL … except not funny given the subject, KWIM?
Rice has no regret, bless her little black heart. I remember Carter being asked what his biggest regret was for his entire administration. He said not sending an extra helicopter on that failed rescue. Four years of the (until now) worst presidency in modern history and, with 20-20 hindsight, he can’t think of anything better than that?!
Democrats. Argh.

Lefties rant and spew about how the eeeeeevil Koch brothers allegedly buy elections for Republicans and MUST BE STOPPED.
One might suppose from the fact that Democrats have dominated the federal political scene since January 2007 that the Koch brothers are rather ineffective morons. But that’s neither here nor there, since Open Secrets has compiled a list of actual Big Bucks Donors.
The Koch brothers are waaaaay down at #59. And six of the top ten are UNIONS that donated to Democrats 15 times what the Koch brothers donated to Republicans.
Facts can be so messy. This is no doubt why the Left avoids them as much as possible.

Full list of donors @ http://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/list.php. N.b., All donors listed at Open Secrets are linked to pages that describe the nature of the group. I compiled a simplified version of the Open Secrets list using this methodology:
The breakdown I made of the TOP 100 DONOR TOTALS for the past 15 years that I used in my graphic:
$605 Million donated to Democrats by UNIONS and TRADE ASSOCIATIONS that gave 70% or more of total donations to ONE party.
$157 Million donated to Democrats by CORPORATIONS, PACS and one PUBLIC UNIVERSITY that gave 70% or more of total donations to ONE party.
$25 Million donated to Republicans by UNIONS and TRADE ASSOCIATIONS that gave 70% or more of total donations to ONE party.
$123 Million donated to Republicans by CORPORATIONS and PACs that gave 70% or more of total donations to ONE party.
