Via an OFA email titled, “The Koch brothers are spending a ton on this.”
Drew —
If you turn on the TV right now, you’re going to hear a lot about Obamacare.
Quite frankly, a lot of it is crap — and that’s because some groups are spending an insane amount of money trying to mislead people about what the law does.
Just how much money? $400 million and counting since Obamacare passed. [opposed to the $1 billion being spent on Obamacare -ed.]
Think about that — hundreds of millions of dollars to try to convince people they shouldn’t get insurance. It doesn’t get much more cynical than that.
Look, we’ll never have that kind of money, and that’s OK. Our side is working overtime at the grassroots level to get the facts out on health care reform. We don’t need to outspend the other side, but we can’t let them completely drown us out.
Karl Rove’s American Crossroads GPS and the Koch brothers’ Americans for Prosperity — it seems almost every wealthy conservative group is putting their money behind trying to make Obamacare fail. I saw one ad that encourages young people to “opt out” of getting covered. […]
