Americans for Prosperity is intensifying the pressure on congressional Democrats by launching yet another round of TV commercials in Florida Thursday, expanding its anti-Obamacare campaign into a new House district.
The conservative advocacy group plans to announce that it will spend nearly $400,000 running ads hitting Reps. Alan Grayson and Joe Garcia for backing President Obama’s health-care law. AFP had already spent about $140,000 on ads against Garcia in November, but the buy against Grayson – for now, just online – is the group’s first swipe at the outspoken Democrat this cycle[...]
AFP, the main political arm of a donor network backed by the billionaire industrialists Charles and David Koch, has spent more than $27 million since August on spots that challenge vulnerable Senate and House Democrats for their support of Obama’s controversial health-care legislation. In doing so, it has cemented its role as the dominant player in the 2014 midterms, and the GOP’s most valuable ally. As a tax-exempt "social welfare" group, AFP is not required to disclose its financial backers, as political committees must.
You really have to watch the Koch brothers closely. They can't be fully trusted to always advance liberty. They will put business interests above liberty. Remember, they donated money to Mitt Romney, but not Ron Paul. That said, they will occasionally put their money to use in a way that attacks the state. It's probably done more to advance a Republican agenda, than truly promote liberty, but I don't mind seeing ads like this out there.
