DNC Targets Republican Leaders on the Stimulus

Pushing back against Republican charges that President Obama’s stimulus package has been ineffective, the DNC is launching a three-pronged attack this week focused on projects being funded in the states and districts of the GOP’s congressional leadership.

Democrats are going on the air Thursday with TV and radio spots aimed at three GOP House leaders and two Senate Republican leaders and will hold press conferences or conference calls in their states with individuals testifying to the effectiveness of the stimulus.

In a TV commercial to be aired in Washington and on national cable, the party cites disapproving comments made about the $787 billion legislation by Sen’s Mitch McConnell (Ky.) and Jon Kyl (Ariz.) and House members John Boehner (Oh.) and Eric Cantor (Va.)

The goal is to not only detail the benefits the stimulus opponents are seeing in their individual states, but to also lay the blame of the still-sputtering economy on the policies of the Bush administration.

“They supported the Bush policies that sank our economy into recession,” says the narrator in the TV ad. “They broke it - now they refuse to fix it.”

I like this. Get out in front, while the repukes arestill bragging about their stubbornness. When the job numbers improve next year, they won't say a word about the stimulus, except to try and take credit for it.
