http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2011/04/20/democrats-house-majority-pac-readies-first-ad/One of the Democrats' brand-new independent-expenditure groups is going on the offensive – already.
House Majority PAC, a third-party group dedicated to winning Democratic control of the House of Representatives, will begin airing radio ads on Thursday as part of a six-figure campaign, sources familiar with the effort said. The ads target 10 House Republicans who voted for Rep. Paul Ryan’s budget. It accuses them of trying to gut Medicare while giving a tax break to the wealthy.
With the sound of pigs snorting in the background, the ad claims each of the nine supports a budget “that’s going to have the wealthiest Americans lining up at the trough” and “leaves the wealthy fat and happy” while putting “the squeeze” on regular families.
The narrator says the nine tried to “end Medicare as we know it – that’s right, end Medicare as we know it” and insists families “should all be squealing” about the representatives' votes.
