Per NBC’s Isikoff, Koch Industries has sent a letter to members of Congress, saying that Obamacare should NOT be tied to shutdown fight— Mark Murray (@mmurraypolitics) October 9, 2013
The TP response (which hasn’t been announced, but likely will come in this form):
We thank you for your largesse and financing in getting the extortionist wing off the ground, but we’re going to take Obamacare out if it’s the last thing we do.
Koch may be trying to find a way out for Boehner, but the TP is too fixated on Obamacare to actually notice the lifeline.
