New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s super political action committee has spent at least $660,000 for 12 days of TV ads blasting Democratic congressional candidate Debbie Halvorson’s past support from the National Rifle Association, records filed by local affiliates of the four major networks showed Thursday.

When its current ad buy ends Sunday, the Independence USA super PAC will have aired 574 half-minute broadcast TV commercials to influence the outcome of the 2nd Congressional District special election, the records show.

These people, these PACs spend so much money on this. They must be very sincere and dedicated people.

Bloomberg is the proto-type of the coming class of globalist tyrantz.

where are the libs who say we need to get the money out of politics?

where are the libs who condemn the rich who set up their own pacs and spend their millions influencing politics?

where are the libs that rip on the koch brothers, to stand up against bloomberg doing the same thing?

It would be better for Bloomburg to worry about soft drink cups.

Senator Angus King won in spite of Bloomberg. He is a popular politician in his home state. Scott Brown lost because it is a very blue state. Obama won because of low GOP turnout and the assumption that the House GOP would block any of Obama’s far left measures. The senate will be expected to block any gun grabbers on the appeals courts. The Supreme court is another thing. The NRA should aim to get 51 votes by 2014 blocking any SCOTUS appointee if Scalia or Kennedy retire.

Bloomberg doesn’t even realize half of congress is A-rated by the NRA. They helped get rid of RINO Lugar replaced with a Dem who is against amnesty and gun control. NRA backed Kirsten Gillibrand became anti-gun at the federal level.

Bloomberg is a mafia Don and street thug in drag. Above the law, ruthless, not to be under estimated, etc.
