Vide08: TV ads on Iraq targeting GOP senators

Posted: Tuesday, July 10, 2007 9:29 AM by Jen Brown

As Chuck Todd reported yesterday, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee is going up today with TV ads on Iraq targeting GOP senators up for re-election in 2008, including GOP leader Mitch McConnell (in Kentucky), Norm Coleman (in Minnesota), John Sununu (in New Hampshire), and Susan Collins (in Maine).

Today, the DSCC has finally confirmed these TV ads to NBC, and below is a script of one of these ads, which the Political Unit is efforting. You can also click here to view the ad. Click here to watch what was on Hardball Tuesday.

Narrator: The situation isn’t improving.
Narrator: But instead of doing the right thing, Senator McConnell just gives us more of the same.
Visual: Sen. McConnell
Narrator: Four times this year, McConnell voted to continue George Bush’s open-ended commitment in Iraq, and against bringing our troops home.
Narrator: Now he has another chance. Call McConnell. Tell him it’s time to do the right thing.
It’s time to start bringing our troops home.
Visual: Call Sen. McConnell
Tell him to start bringing our troops home
Narrator: The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee is responsible for the content of this ad.

As it is the truth, whatever could be the issue with the ad?
It is certainly not a personal attack. It is an observation on his voting record. That, as most Americans forget, is the reason of the Congress -- to represent their people.
