The Democratic National Committee has launched a new natioanl cable TV ad centered around the stimulus bill, attacking the top two Republicans in each chamber — Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell and Whip Jon Kyl, and House GOP Leader John Boehner and Whip Eric Cantor — for having fought against it, in a sign that Dems will actively pin continued economic problems on the Republican rule of the last eight years:
“They supported the Bush policies that sank our economy into recession,” the announcer says. “They broke it — now they refuse to fix it. Tell Republican leaders to stop playing politics with our economy.”
The DNC is also launching a series of radio ads against these four, plus Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN) in their local media markets. Check out the full scripts after the jump.
