GOP Blows Through $8 Million in ONE DAY to Attack Dems

[Rose Siding]

The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) reported spending $7.8 million on Friday alone for an ongoing “independent expenditure” campaign that aims to boost the many vulnerable House Republican incumbents — mainly by attacking their Democratic challengers.

The expenditures, which were disclosed in a filing to the Federal Election Commission (FEC), were spread out over 30 House districts, all but three presently held by Republicans. The outlays were mainly for television advertisements, but also included mail pieces and telephone calls to voters.

The overwhelmingly majority (97.6 percent) of the $7.8 million was coded on the FEC report as spending in opposition of the Democratic candidates. Just $184,375 of the NRCC’s Friday outlays, or 2.4 percent of the total, were identified on the report as money spent in support of GOP candidates.

1. It would be good for them to blow it all very soon.

And then the Dems will have a very good advantage closer to November.

4. Provides full employment

for the ad industry. Good for them. Do it again tomorrow. Lather, rinse, repeat. When money runs out, quit. Smash "friend's" piggybank for more.

6. Negative ads work, and the RNC has twice as much money...

...as the DNC.

This is nothing for us to celebrate.

If you want to strike back, then support radio ads attacking Republicans:

7. Negative ads will bite the Repukes back in the ass
