Koch Bros. Attack: Grayson = Obama = Liar
The Koch Brothers are continuing to run dirty attack ads against me in my district. No surprise there; they’ve been doing it since November. If there is a surprise, it’s how brazen and mendacious those Koch Brothers ads have become. Let me boil down their current ad campaign for you:
Grayson = Obama = Liar
Support our campaign today, and help us beat back these disgusting attack ads.
President Obama isn’t on the ballot this year. And when he was on the ballot, he won more votes than any American in history – twice. But the Koch Brothers think that they can defeat me by dragging President Obama through the mud, and me with him.
The anti-Grayson ads begin by claiming that President Obama told “the lie of the year,” and that I “backed him up.” They’re referring – in their usual abusive fashion – to the fact that President Obama said that if you like your current insurance, then you can keep it under Obamacare. Which actually is true – unless your insurance company refuses to renew it. It’s not Obamacare that’s ending the coverage, it’s the insurance companies. Personally, I’d love to see a law that requires health insurance companies to renew policies. Unfortunately, Obamacare is not that law. The GOP prevented such a law, claiming that that would be “socialism.” So what has happened is:
(1) Republicans blocked and attacked a law that would require insurance companies to renew policies;[br /]
(2) Obamacare undertook to make health insurance universal, comprehensive and affordable, without the provision the GOP blocked;[br /]
(3) Because President Obama undertook this effort, the Koch Brothers now label him the Liar of the Year; and[br /]
(4) I get taken along for the same ride.
Lies, Damned Lies, and Koch Brothers ads. Please help our campaign, and give us what we need to fight back.
But wait – it gets worse. The Koch Brothers attack ad also complains that “healthcare costs [are] up.” Yes, last year, healthcare costs rose, by the lowest amount on record. Furthermore, the Koch Brothers complain that “help [for] the uninsured” is “not working.” Yes – because Republicans in the Florida State Legislature prohibited the expansion of Medicaid to over one million Floridians, even though it would have cost the state nothing.
Don’t you just hate sick, lying ads like these Koch Brothers ads? Well, let’s do something about it.
Campaigns are all about communications. What the voters see and hear. And the biggest propaganda megaphone in America is spewing out lie after lie against me. That’s why I need your help.
I need to counter their lies with our truth. I need to counter their subterfuge with our facts. I need to counter their evil with our righteousness.
You can watch silently as the world drowns in Koch Brothers fibs, fables, fictions, fabrications, forgeries and falsehoods. Or you can help our campaign beat them back.
Beat the lies. Contribute to our campaign today.
Courage,
Rep. Alan Grayson
