Americans Against Prosperity?

Last night I'm sitting around at home minding my own business and around 7:30 the doorbell rings. At the door is some guy handling out pamphlets and wants five minutes of my time to conduct a short survey. This is Friday night, mind you, so that seems like an odd time for some door-to-door canvassing.

It turns out that this guy is representing Americans for Prosperity, crusading against Congressman Gary Peters' bid for Carl Levin's senate seat. Gary Peters, you should know, is solely responsible for the passing of ObamaCare.

I don't follow PACs much, so I don't really know much about AFP.

Got me wondering, though, are there any Americans Against Prosperity?

From what I can gather here, whoever disagrees with you is against prosperity.

Just seems to me the name AFP is generically ridiculous.

Takes a real asshole to come up with that name to set them apart from the balance of the country.
