Crossroads GPS – the media militia mustered by Karl Rove and underwritten by God only knows – has released another wave of attack ads, this time on Democratic House members.

Crossroads Ad Campaign Targets House Democrats

Crossroads GPS launched its third round of summer television advertisements Monday, this time targeting 10 vulnerable Democratic House members. The ads are the latest in a $20 million series hitting Democratic lawmakers and President Obama on government spending and the economy.

The conservative group said it paid $1.4 million for the 30-second spots, which will air for two weeks in the districts of Reps. Mike Ross of Arkansas, Lois Capps of California, Jerry Costello of Illinois, Leonard Boswell of Iowa, Ben Chandler of Kentucky, Bill Owens and Tim Bishop of New York, Heath Shuler of North Carolina, Kurt Schrader of Oregon and Jim Matheson of Utah.

Some of the ads use a sort of doubletalk visual:

Others go for the iPaddle:

As far as the hardworking staff can tell, this flight of ads brings Crossroads GPS’s spending so far this summer to about $20 million – 12 on ads whacking Barack Obama, 8+ whacking Democratic lawmakers.

Considering that the group has said it will spend $20 million alone on ads targeting Obama and his record, there’s still plenty more to come in the next six weeks.
