It’s official: The GOP is officially taking the Dems-will-kill-seniors message to paid television advertising.

The Minnesota Republican Party, plus the support of the Republican National Committee, have been running TV ads version of the RNC’s previous “Reforma” Web ad, a parody of pharmaceutical ads, only targeting “the Obama-Pelosi prescription for building a government takeover of health care.”

Here’s the ad targeting Democratic Rep. Tim Walz. There is also another version spotlighting Blue Dog Dem Congressman Collin Peterson.

One of the potential side effects: “The government can deny your health care based on patient age.” That same line was in the original Web ad — but now it’s on paid TV.
