Report: Democrat candidates run anti-ObamaCare ads

A report at the link below is titled, Democrats spend on anti-health-reform advertisements.

The report says Democrat candidates are spending three times more advertising against the health reform law than they are in support of it.

Since the beginning of Congress’s August recess, Democrat candidates have poured $930,000 into ads deriding the health overhaul but just $300,000 in pro-reform spots.

Go back to 2006, and even before that, and Democrats used health care as their No. 1 issue,” Tracey said. “They had a villain in the pharmaceutical industry. Now that they passed this law, it’s almost disarmed them rather than given them an opportunity.”

Moreover, Tracey’s data shows that health reform opponents – inside and outside of Congress – are increasingly outspending supporters.

Opponents now spend seven times as much on anti-reform spots as supporters spend on pro-reform spots, a marked change from early May, when their dollars only doubled those of reform advocates.
