Our own Pat Toomey is cited as a leading figure in the new tax scam from the Repugs.
I'm sure the Kochs and Chamber of Commerce will be inviting us all to the celebration, unless you're a member of the other 99%.
Oh, and if you get any help from "Obamacare" - you'll be too sick to attend.

Very good article, BTW. Thanks for posting the link.

(28,394 posts)Don't know if you read Twitter, but this guy posts a lot about election hacking. He recently had some threads about PA.

I have said from day one that PA was "hacked." It was just too weird.

(16,939 posts)Three major states that were "guaranteed" went the other way - and no government agency wants to find out why (well, we know "why" - it would cost the Pugs EVERYTHING!).

Meanwhile, he can never be bothered to meet with constituents. Toomey doesn't represent us. He only serves for the Koch Bros.

(24,774 posts)We have to do whatever it takes, by hook or by crook, to bring this millionaire crook to his knees. He has to have something to hide from the people of Pennsylvania and we should be willing to use scorched-earth tactics to find some serious dirt on him.

(12,328 posts)Hillsdale Pat got what he wanted with his tax cuts for the rich. I hope he drowns in all of his money.
He couldn't care less about the average Pennsylvanian or the average American. His only concern is the Koch Brothers.
I'm very glad the Washington Post is exposing Toomey for the corporate ass-kisser that he is.
