New Group to Launch Anti-Kerry Ads

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Move over, MoveOn.org. The liberal-leaning group that has raised millions of dollars to run negative ads attacking President Bush now has a competitor on the right with a somewhat similar name.

Liberal-leaning? That's like saying the "somewhat husky Michael Moore".

The conservative MoveOnForAmerica.org plans to blast battleground states with anti-John Kerry ads until Election Day.

What's good for the goose, and all that.

One of the conservative group's ads criticizes Kerry for his actions when he was a private lawyer with a criminal defense practice.

Err... yeah... and how many months was he a lawyer? Moving on [no pun]...

He [Stephen Marks] said his group has already raised $200,000 and aims to surpass $1 million by the election.

They've raised 200k and hope to pull in a million by the election? Why the heck is this news? To groups like MoveOn.org (thanks to folks like George Soros and Peter Lewis et al) 200k-1mil is walking-around money. These guys are the tiniest of blips on the radar screen.

• Joint Victory Campaign 2004 -- Receipts: $41,685,706 | Expenditures: $35,780,404


• Media Fund -- Receipts: $28,127,488 | Expenditures: $27,208,905


• America Coming Together -- Receipts: $26,905,450 | Expenditures: $24,196,532


• MoveOn.org -- Receipts: $9,086,102 | Expenditures: $17,435,782

And MoveOnForAmerica.org's pulled down a whopping $200,000 and is hoping for $1,000,000 by the election.

Tell me again, the Republicans are the party of the rich fatcats who buy elections and own the government, right?

Speaking of MoveOn.org, anyone else find it odd that their total receipts are $9,086,102 while their total expenditures are $17,435,782?

Anyone else think that sounds fishy?
