Rove's Swift Boat Backer

http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2010-07-23/karl-rove-group-funded-by-swift-boater-more-billionaires/

He’s back! Harold Simmons, the man who bankrolled the Swift Boat campaign against John Kerry, is the primary funder of Karl Rove’s “grassroots” group that threatens to shake up this fall’s midterms.

The billionaire Texas businessman who funded the Swift Boat attack on John Kerry is back in the saddle—along with a few other conservative money-men—bankrolling Karl Rove’s latest effort to win control of Washington for the Republican Party.

American Crossroads, launched with fanfare as a “grassroots” group in March by Rove and former Republican National Committee chairman Ed Gillespie, raised $3.4 million last month, according to forms submitted by the group to the IRS and examined by The Daily Beast. That’s by far the best monthly haul to date for the group, which aims to help GOP candidates this fall by running ads and talking to voters in Senate races across the country.

The June contributions offer the first hard evidence that Rove’s new project can be a major player this fall in support of GOP candidates across the country.

Bush administration co-criminals.

The GOP can't win unless they have Karl performing his patented lying, cheating, and stealing.

Lovely turd blossom is back.

Many on DU may enjoy this and feel it is payback for Obama "ignoring" the progressive agenda??

Payback is possible with the money they will mobilize for attack ads against Dems.

They can buy their way back to even more tax cuts.
