...the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) plans to run ads on the July 4 holiday criticizing several vulnerable Republican members for their votes against the supplemental last week. As Glenn Thrush reports, “A series of 60-second radio ads will run during drive time from July 1 through July 8, according to a script provided to POLITICO — and they have the support-our-troops ring of GOP spots.”There's no point in doing this.
For 8 solid years, and even well into today (see post below) Republicans have used this sort of "anti-American" name calling to combat anyone or anybody that might not agree with them. Debate them on policy issues, of which the Democrats are currently winning splendidly, but not on patriotism. This is politics of the past and it serves no purpose in our national discourse. Good for Think Progress at calling out the DCCC for their hypocrisy.
When hoping to hold onto a majority, the last thing Democrats need to do is take lessons from the GOP playbook.
