DNC expands ad Reid calls "waste of money"
DNC expands ad Reid calls "waste of money"

A Democratic National Committee group is significantly expanding a healthcare ad buy that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) last week called a “waste of money.”

The advertisement will run in 15 new markets, targeting centrist Democrats whose support for the leading Congressional healthcare proposals is crucial.

The 30-second ad, “It’s Time,” features the stories of five Americans who have been affected by what Democrats say is “the broken care system.”

The original ad buy was for television markets in Maine, Arkansas, Indiana, Florida, Louisiana, North Dakota, Nebraska and Ohio.

Asked about the ad last week, Reid didn’t mince words in voicing his displeasure.

“I think it’s a waste of money,” Reid said. “Democrats running ads against Democrats?”

But now Organizing for America, an offshoot of the DNC, has announced 15 additional markets for “It’s Time.” The ad is now set to run locally in Savannah, Ga., Palm Springs, Fla., Seattle, Nashville, Bloomington, Ala., Sacramento, Salt Lake City, New Orleans, Pittsburgh, Charlotte, Little Rock, Columbus, Marquette, Grand Rapids, Mich., and Medford, Oregon.

4. I second that!
Harry Milquetoast Reid has GOT TO GO.

I hope the Democratic Party in Nevada can find a warm body to run against him in the primary. I will contribute if they do.

8. Hey Harry, I read that Obama is gonna get tough with centerist DINOs
Harry, you might wanna think on that a bit. How many votes for Reid? How many for Obama? Let's talk mandate Harry. Do the math.

9. Gee, Harry, how the hell else is this going anywhere
if the damned DINOs and Blue Dogs don't vote the way that 72% of the country has requested? (While, I might add, they get healthcare - for life!)

Certainly no sense wasting money on Republican targets since they ain't budging. Primary objective: make Obama & Democratic Party look bad (American people? who are they?!).

This week's episode of "Ineffective Harry": "Harry is concerned that Democrats are running ads against Democrats when they need to get along and achieve nothing but harmonious lunches."

Wouldn't it be nice to have one called "Democrats working with Democrats and achieving something since they're in bloody control"?!

<sigh>

10. that's why Reid is getting his ass called by a bunch of us on July 22.
to let him know we're sick of his shit. First they didn't have a majority in either house. We gave them that.

Then they didn't have the presidency. We gave them that.

Then they didn't have filibuster proof majority in senate. Largely, Al Franken gave them that.

He has proved he is an ass.
