“But Rove’s team won’t just rely on Forbes 400 members to fill its coffers. They’ve wisely wheeled out legendary fundraiser Haley Barbour, who’s been pitching Main Street with American Crossroads’ so-called 1600 Fund, aimed at encouraging average Americans to put $1600 towards taking back 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.”
Billionaires have done the math and will be giving away tons of FREE MONEY to the Republican Party of Jesus in order to make a profit off the poor and the sick.
Satan Karl knows who I am, and what I can do, and has enlisted GREEDY BILLIONAIRES who pretend to love Jesus, in order to take from the poor and give to the rich. Any Christian who votes for a Republican, will be melted down in hell and turned into a giant Anti-Doomsday Plug, that will be used to stop the Giant Brain Leak that is turning millions of smart Americans – into raging morons! You Jesus Freaks will not get one red cent out of this Billionaire give-away program. So, why betray the real Jesus?

How Karl Rove’s Billionaire-Backed Super PAC Will Be Election Game Changer

+ Comment now On Tuesday night, President Obama appeared on Jimmy Fallon’s popular late-night show to “slow-jam the news” with the comedian. Of course, the brief video clip went viral immediately — and even more predictably, right-leaning political groups were quick to slam the POTUS, who Fallon dubbed the “ Preezy of the United Steezy”, borrowing lingo made famous by rapper Snoop Dogg.
One of the first Super PACs to respond: American Crossroads, who released this video on Thursday, asking: “After four years of a celebrity president, is your life any better?”

For Karl Rove’s American Crossroads and its secretive sister group Crossroads GPS, this ad is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. TV viewers can expect a deluge of anti-Obama spots in coming months. They’ll be even more slickly produced and targeted, and they’ll be unavoidable.
Why? According to the most recent campaign disclosures, the pro-GOP powerhouse PAC has only spent about $1 million on advertising so far this election cycle. That $1 million is a drop in the bucket considering the $100 million Rove’s team has already raised, much of it from billionaire donors and their companies. They plan to spend $240 million in total in the run-up to the election, by far the most of any other independent groups — at least, any that’ve spoken publicly about their budgets.
There are other reasons Team Obama should be concerned about the power of Rove’s super PAC, aside from its massive war chest.
1. Their powerhouse fundraiser, Haley Barbour.
American Crossroads has had no trouble getting billionaires to open their wallets. Texan investor Harold Simmons has already given $12 million to the group, which allows unlimited donations, and he’s said he’ll shell out far more. Other billionaires who’ve donated over $1 million each this cycle include Jerrold Perenchio, Robert Rowling, Trevor Rees-Jones and B. Wayne Hughes, to name a handful.
But Rove’s team won’t just rely on Forbes 400 members to fill its coffers. They’ve wisely wheeled out legendary fundraiser Haley Barbour, who’s been pitching Main Street with American Crossroads’ so-called 1600 Fund, aimed at encouraging average Americans to put $1600 towards taking back 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. He’s working for Rove without taking a salary, with the sole aim of ensuring the next President is Republican. His track record is undeniable. He raked in $115 million in the last election as chair of the Republican Governors Association, and he’s one of the best-connected players in Washington besides Rove himself.
