Koch Brothers Launch $2.5 Million Ad Blitz Against Democrats, Obamacare

[okaawhatever]

Americans for Prosperity, the conservative group backed by the Koch brothers, unveiled a TV ad blitz Thursday attacking vulnerable Senate Democrats over the implementation of Obamacare.

The group launched a $2.5 million ad buy targeting Sens. Kay Hagan (N.C.), Mary Landrieu (La.) and Jeanne Shaheen (N.H.), all Democrats facing tough reelection battles in 2014. The three ads follow a similar theme, zeroing in on some of the struggles the health care law has faced in the early stages of its rollout -- namely President Barack Obama's pledge that individuals could keep their current plans under Obamacare, which later turned out to be untrue.

"It's the lie of the year," the narrator says in the ad targeting Shaheen. Each spot also notes that the senators in question reiterated Obama's "If you like your plan, you can keep it" promise. The woman appearing in the Hagan-directed ad is Sheila Salter, a small business owner in North Carolina who recently said she was so stressed out by Obamacare that it was causing her to drink. The ads will run for three weeks in major media markets across North Carolina, Louisiana and New Hampshire.

Response from DSCC at link. It appears they are going after Shaheen to try and get Scott Brown to run and win. They also ran ads against Congressional Dems last week

6. Quite a bit. They had already spent $10 million on the Obamacare hate ads (that was discovered)

God only knows what else they've done.

4. Thanks for that. People can look for the Georgia Pacific symbol on the back of any paper products if

you can't remember the individual names.

5. Their last ad blitz was such a rousing success (2012 elections)

I can see why they felt the need for a follow up.

7. Those two brothers are just evil.

I wish they'd either have some kind of crisis of conscience that turns them into decent human beings, or do us all a favor and move off the planet.
