The Stakes

http://www.gop.com/ currently has an advertisement running, in which Osama bin Laden features prominently. Quotes from him that talk about attacking the US are featured in the advertisement, whose central message is, “These are the stakes. Vote.” The objective is to scare Republican voters into actually making sure they vote Republican, but I ask you this:

Why is Osama bin Laden still free?

Democrats should be responding with an ad embracing this GOP buffoonery. Sure! Vote! I’m sure you’re not stupid enough to reelect the morons who’ve let OBL run free for the last five years, right? There’s no way you’d vote for a guy who said he “really isn’t all that concerned” about OBL, right? Right?

Ah, but I’m sure I’m going to be disappointed in the intelligence of the American public yet again. Still, naive as it is, I hold out some hope that at least some people will be able to connect the dots.

    Too bad the democrats will not be in the group that’s able to connect the dots.

    I’m currently residing in the camp of a stalemated Washington is a better place than a unified Washington. I think the answer to who is the party of smaller government may be “both”.

    United we stand to misimplement all of our terrible ideas, divided at least we mostly only bother each other and screw up the country less.

    I’m just not sure how I want that to break down. Republican executive and Democratic Congress or the other way around?

    Who knows, I’ll reserve judgement to give the dems one shot at owning it all, maybe they’ll get it right finally. One good thing about that party is they can’t ever really unite.
