Rove-Associated Groups Vow $120 Million In Attack Ads, Say More Is Needed
WASHINGTON -- The leaders of two behemoth Karl Rove-associated unlimited donation campaign fundraising groups on Friday promised to spend $120 million against Democrats in the 2012 election cycle, much of it in the form of attack ads.

At the same time, the leaders of American Crossroads and Crossroads Grassroots Political Strategies (GPS) tried to cast themselves as underdogs to a Democratic apparatus they predicted will spend $2 billion between now and November 2012. They spoke at a breakfast briefing with reporters organized by the Christian Science Monitor.

"We're going to have $2 billion spent in the suspension of reality," said American Crossroads chairman Mike Duncan.

But lest there be any doubt, Duncan's solution was not for Democrats to spend less, it was for Republicans to spend more.

"There's not too much money in politics," he declared. "I firmly believe that there is a role for various organizations."

Indeed, Duncan railed against one of the few campaign finance restrictions left in the wake of a series of sweeping Supreme Court decisions. The former Republican National Committee chairman said that limiting how much individuals or corporations can contribute directly to political parties constitute "restrictions on free speech."
