Karl Rove's PAC Funding TV Attacks on Obama for Supporting Public Employee Unions

link here to article

This article has a link to the TV ad which will run on cable channels. It claims that government employees earn 47% more than private employees because democrats give them what they want in order to get their votes. The attack is directed towards Obama. It has a clip of his speech to a teacher's union. It very clear that campaign 2012 is underway and that the GOP is going to do what it can to undermine public employee unions in the mind of the public and connect Obama to the unions.

As an aside, its hard for me to understand why contributions to PAC's like this one headed up by President Bush's chief political operative, are deductible from the taxes of contributors. It is hard to argue that the PAC's serve an educational purpose.
