New RNC radio spots hit Blue Dog Dems

Four fiscally conservative Democrats, who voted in committee to back President Obama's health care plan, are now facing a fresh round of attacks from the Republican National Committee.

The self described "Blue Dog Democrats" — Reps. Bart Gordon of Tennessee, Zack Space of Ohio, Baron Hill of Indiana, and Mike Ross of Arkansas – are targeted in a new 60-second radio campaign that slams them for voting for the health care proposal in the Energy and Commerce Committee.

The offensive ad:

"He folded like a lawn chair. [Congressman NAME]. He threw in the towel. [Congressman NAME] did exactly what Nancy Pelosi wanted him to do. He caved in. He buckled."

"[Congressman NAME] was one of just four congressmen who cast the deciding votes to advance Nancy Pelosi's radical big government health care plan…[Congressman NAME] backed a plan that will cost taxpayers billions….just days after talking like he wouldn't."

"He flipped. He flopped. He rolled over."

"[Congressman NAME] could have stopped the expensive Obama-Pelosi health care plan dead in its tracks. [Congressman NAME] held a vote that counted. But instead of using that vote to help taxpayers, [Congressman NAME] used it to help Obama and Pelosi."

"It's big government. It's big money. And it'll hit you where it hurts. Ouch! Call [Congressman NAME] at 202-XXX-XXXX. Tell him to stop voting with Nancy Pelosi."

They are not blue dogs, they are pelosi’s lap dogs.

I heard an RNC ad in my market against Dennis Moore who is supporting the Obama/Rat plan. He is a supposed “blue dog” that votes with Nancy Pelosi 90%+ of the time.

The tea party people each city needs to start their own PAC, and then make their own radio ads. It’s simple, it doesn’t take much money, most ads we made for the 1994 defolyate effort were made on desktop computers with one of the guy’s wife doing the voicing. She had the perfect voice for it.

They are NOT fiscally conservative. They are typically dishonest, political opportunists, selling their votes to the highest bidder.

Its all in the timing
To get rid of this millstone is a yearlong effort. 2010 House turnover is the goal and that happens on 11/06/2010 (when the results turn in)

There is no doubt that the present thugery method the DNC is using will cease abruptly if they have any brains. Because even those union thugs are going to have to go back to their bosses and tell em to cool it for this can blowback on those unions. Because people really are getting pissed.

Once this Obamacrat bill goes down they’ll (DNC) be wearing the smi-lies face and start kissing up to GOP “moderates” and do the shucks Aww Gee we’re sorry didn’t mean it routine sucker punching the wishy-washy GOP. One of the benefits might be seeing less of Obama and a new moderate democrat figurehead (in the House probably replacing Pelosi) fronting for the socialists.

But this scenario is depenedent upon the DNC not losing their collective minds and pushing for the Obamacrat Health care reform package through the Senate in September.

What every senator must be convinced is that both cap and trade and especially the health care reform bill is a poison pill which will kill the American economy. There is too much in the house version to bother trying to fix it.

Thats done by showing precinct penetration in solid blue as well as swing House districts controlled by Obamacrats. That those respctive Senators will notice. Best way to do it is by signs and leaflets. Radio iz a follow up.
