The GOP lives up to its affectionate nickname of 'the stupid party.' They start to make a statement and before the sentence is over, it's like they have started apologizing for their position.
They like to play nice with the dems, though the dems haven't played nice with them in as far back as I can remember.
The GOP can't articulate a cogent, persuasive message if its life depended on it - and in 2006, their political lives do depend on it.
They can use humor to fight the dems - it is a very effective weapon. They don't have the stones - that's why they won't use it.

Well, there's reason why the Democrats remained in power for 40 years and shyness and timidity wasn't it. Sometimes I get the same reaction as you get when I don't see a strong response or rebuke from the GOP like during the Foley scandal.
Democrats on the other hand go too far, but keep in mind they held power in Congress for 40 years as opposed to the Republicans' dominance of 12 years. The GOP needs to counter attack decisively and effectively to get their message across and to move the voters to the voting booth on election day.
I think this ad is good and any other ad that conveys a strong rebuke to the Democrat's agenda is welcomed. However, they won't use this ad for fear of offending someone. Never mind the gratuitous insults the Democrats and their surrogates generously pour upon the Republicans 24/7.
"Republicans often pay a great price for such a creeping pop culture messages that instill non-logical prejudices on very complicated issues. A vigorous response is needed to correct these plainly false notions lingering in the American psyche."
I concur.
