Conservative group running ads in five Pa. districts

A prominent conservative group launched a major advertising campaign this week to decry congressional spending—and five competitive House races in Pennsylvania are among the group’s targets.

The ad from Americans for Prosperity decries last year’s economic stimulus package as wasteful spending. It was already seen airing in the 3rd Congressional District this week, where incumbent Democrat Kathy Dahlkemper’s campaign was quick to push back with an e-mail to supporters.

How much is being spent for airtime in Keystone State districts remains unclear. But news reports indicate that it is also running in the 6th, 7th, 10th and 11th Districts.

See the ad below.

    When these fiscal hypocrites come out against extending the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy – extending the cuts for those making $1MM or more will add $35B (give or take) to the deficit just next year – then they might have some credibility.

    This is aside of course from the fact that the stimulus reduced the unemployment rate by at least 1.5%, so if we would be better off with another couple million people out of work then yeah, sure, the stimulus was “wasteful”.
