Karl Rove’s Super Pac, American Crossroads, is set to buy the 2010 Congressional midterm elections, with a nationwide media blitz of messages that talk about
jobs and
taxes . This is, of course, more Karl Rove bait and switch. Rove’s promises are always bull---and he always delivers shit. In 2000, he promised the nation a Patient Protection Act modeled on that passed in Texas. Instead, AG Ashcroft got the Texas law struck down in federal court. Rove promised no more Kosovos---even though the Bush team was already planning to invade Iraq. In 2004, Rove promised right wing voters an end to gay marriage---and then turned around and tried to privatize Social Security. He offered to give the corporate media unlimited merger opportunities, if they would bury the presidential election exit polls. We all know what happened to that promise.
American Crossroads promises
jobs. But, in January 2011, this is what they will deliver.

The billionaires who are funding American Crossroads are not your usual wealthy American businessmen. These are some real slime balls.
Charles Linder kills his employees using terrorists. Linder funded right wing death squads in Colombia in order to keep Chiquita Banana’s profits high. That’s right. This billionaire does not just
break strikes---he
murders strikers. And then, he murderers their families, to make sure they get the message.

two million dollars . This guy really needs some friends in high places right now. Remember the Marshall County, West Virginia gas well explosion that injured seven people and raised serious questions about the safety of urban gas drilling ? Those are Rees-Jones employees who got roasted on the job.

wants to leave no large body of water unpolluted. Rowling knows the value of shitting on mother nature in order to increase business profits. Tana Co. was fined for hiring BP and allowing it to bypass safety valves on one of its rigs. Rowling does not simply want to resume Gulf Oil drilling. He wants to resume it with the maximum possible loss of life and damage to the environment.

Harold Simmons (Swift Boat Vets for Truth), wants to move radioactive toxic waste into Texas. And he does not want any environmentalists or government regulators telling him how he will do it.
