Conservatives Launch $600,000 Ad Buy Against Obama's Health Plan

I was looking around for something interesting, and just heard this ad on my teevee. It's a cheesy ad on a cheesy website set up by a con man. Bravo Conservatives!!

Is Congress moving too quickly to stick major healthcare changes in a budget bill on the fast track for approval? Foes think so, and one, Conservatives for Patients' Rights Action Fund, tells us it is willing to spend $600,000 on ads to stop quick action. The group's angle: Compare the speed at which the bank bailout bill was passed with the pace of the healthcare plan.

The fund argues that the bailout moved so fast that nobody caught the AIG bonuses. "After the embarrassment of the AIG bonus scandal, these same people are now talking about ramming a $634 billion healthcare plan through Congress, and we still don't have any details," says Rick Scott, the fund's founder. The ads will run on CNN and Fox.
