American Future Fund Parties Like It's 2010 In A New Attack On Sen. Nelson
In an effort to turn up the heat on moderate Democrats to push health care repeal in the Senate, the American Future Fund (AFF) has put out via a new radio ad against Sen. Ben Nelson (D-NE). In the ad, the AFF regurgitates lies straight from the 2010 elections while simultaneously citing the "non-partisan CBO" and ignoring the CBO's finding that the Affordable Care Act will lower the deficit.

American Future Fund's Attack On Sen. Reid Is Breathtakingly Deceitful
The conservative American Future Fund has created a new attack ad seeking to portray Democrats as hypocrites on the process of reconciliation. Their ad highlights various statements made in 2005 in which Senate Democrats opposed a Republican plan to change the rules for confirming judicial nominees. Because they have no facts to attack Democrats on the merits of the argument, they've egregiously resorted to taking quotes out of context. Budget reconciliation and the Republican-led "nuclear option" plan to change the rules of the Senate are entirely separate things.

New American Future Fund Anti-Reform Ad Chock Full Of Misleading Information
The American Future Fund has released a new anti-health care reform ad that likens the distribution problems of the H1N1 vaccine to the imminent failure of additional government involvement in health care. Evidently, the production staff at AFF needs an introduction to "Google" since simple searches produce factual contradictions to the ad's script.
