The Hill reported:

A conservative advocacy group closely aligned with the Tea Party announced a $9 million swing-state push against President Obama and the healthcare law.

The announcement by Americans for Prosperity (AFP), which is largely funded by the conservative Koch brothers, comes one day after the Supreme Court ruled to uphold the vast majority of the law in a major coup for Obama.

“While we are deeply disappointed in the Supreme Court ruling,” AFP President Tim Phillips said in a statement, “this is far from over.”

The group’s push is worth $9 million, according to a release. It includes a television ad buy as well as grassroots and online efforts against the law, though the division of spending between the different efforts was not made clear.

Targeted states include Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin — all expected to be hotly contested in November’s presidential election. Blue states Minnesota and New Mexico were also on the list.

The television ad calls the health law “one of the largest tax increases in history” — a refrain expected to form the foundation of GOP arguments against the law as the election draws near.

“Shouldn’t President Obama’s priorities have been creating jobs and ending reckless spending?” the ad’s narrator says.

Might have to send these guys some money...I do not yet have the courage to send mittens money...

In order to eliminate Obamacare, one has to eliminate Obama. Anything short of that won’t do the job.

Nice ad, but it's hardly blistering. Blistering would have been to have Obama saying over and over, in all the different forums in which he's said it, that Obamacare isn't a tax.

I agree.

Blistering would have been to have Obama saying over and over, in all the different forums in which he's said it, that Obamacare isn't a tax.

Somehow I think we're going to see and hear that over and over again during this campaign in many different venues. If someone made a compilation of all the Rats claiming the mandate wasn't a tax, the running time would probably exceed 24 hours.

We all need to start informing the ignorant masses as to what Obamacare will do to our health system in 2014.

This imbecile at work said, “It’s not so bad. I went on a site that said ‘How will Obamacare affect me?’ and it won’t affect me at all.”

After I explained to him what an absolute moron he was, I saw the light. These people will only know what is spoon-fed to them. We have to pick up our spoons and get busy.

It is hardly “blistering”. More mild than it could be, IMO.
