The Los Angeles Times exposes the "non-partisan" group attacking Senator Mitch McConnell.

Not surprisingly, the ad is funded by MoveOn.org, the same group who called General David Petraeus a traitor. MoveOn.org also opposed the war in Afghanistan following 9/11, and compared the President to Adolph Hitler.

Campaign Money Watch, the group that bills itself as a nonpartisan advocate for campaign finance reform, is attacking Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell.
 
The Washington-based group is spending almost $400,000 on the attack, which includes a tough new television ad and website.
 
In filing with the Federal Election Commission, Campaign Money Watch disclosed a new batch of donors paying for the attack on the Kentucky senator. Its biggest contributor was the liberal online advocacy group, MoveOn.org, which gave $400,000.
 
Campaign Money Watch received $130,000 from billionaire Jerome Kohlberg, a founder of the private equity firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co., and $30,000 from Communication Workers of America.

The ad advocates passage of the Fair Elections Now Act, which would spend $1 billion taxpayer dollars on publicly-financed elections.  Where does Bruce Lunsford stand on this legislation?  We’re assuming he’s in favor of spending your tax dollars on yard signs and bumper stickers and television attack ads since his liberal allies funding this partisan front group are attacking Senator McConnell on his behalf.

The McConnell Campaign has launched radio ads throughout Eastern Kentucky featuring Fifth District Congressman Hal Rogers, who has a simple message for voters: he needs Mitch McConnell in the U.S. Senate to help him deliver for Eastern Kentucky priorities.
 
“I urge you to reelect U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell.  Why?  Well, he has a lot of seniority to help us get things done for Eastern Kentucky.  His opponent would be a freshman; they can’t help you.  And he is a fighter for coal, and we need his help.  Mitch is in a very powerful position and we would be foolish to squander that big advantage,” Rogers says in the radio spot.

McConnell’s bus tour has hit Eastern Kentucky twice during the first week, and Congressman Rogers campaigned with Senator McConnell every step of the way.
 
“I challenge Bruce Lunsford to tell Kentuckians where he stands on the Obama high tax, anti-second amendment, liberal Washington agenda.  These are the things we need to know,” Rogers said at various rallies.  “He won’t say, so I have to assume he’s right there with Obama and the liberal Washington crowd,” Rogers said.

“I know where Senator McConnell stands. He has been a true supporter of Eastern Kentucky,” Rogers said.  “When I need a partner in the Senate to help me get funding for critical needs, I turn to Mitch.  Without him, it will be much harder to find the funds to build our roads, eradicate drugs, and clean up our environment.”

The future of Kentucky’s coal industry was a big topic at several campaign events.  Rogers told supporters at a rally Knox County earlier in the week to beware of the Obama/Biden/Lunsford anti-coal agenda.  Democratic Vice-Presidential nominee Joe Biden was recently overheard at a campaign stop telling a supporter an Obama/Biden administration would not allow any more coal plants in America.

“We need all the help we can get on coal and Mitch McConnell is solid with us,” Rogers said. “The other side, if you listen to them, is not going to be a friend of coal and we need Mitch there to fight with me to protect and advance Kentucky’s coal communities."
