Video: NRSC, “60″

Al Franken took his seat in the Senate this week, a gift of comedy from the muddled voters of my state, and with it, Democrats have the magic number in the Senate with which to control the flow of legislation. The NRSC decided to mark the occasion with a fundraising effort to ensure that Democrats only have that situation in place for 18 months:
I like the ad, with a couple of reservations, one minor, one more serious. First, the minor point: checks and balances should come from the Constitutional exercise of prerogatives of each branch. Political parties don’t serve that function. Practically speaking, though, it amounts to the same thing, just as it did from 2001-6, we should recall.
The more serious point: we need to certainly run hard against Democrats, but we also need to give voters reasons to vote for Republicans. The recent Rasmussen poll of GOP voters show financial and economic issues rank highest with 60% of them, and presumably Democrats will be feeling the same way after a month or two more of Obamanomics. There’s nothing wrong with this ad, as long as it’s followed by ads laying out Republican principles for economic growth, fiscal responsibility, and getting government out of energy production. The NRSC has time to do that, but they and the RNC need to start soon in getting out a positive message for Republican campaigns.

Pretty good ad, I have to say. Certainly makes Franken come off as a twitchy freak.
DrSteve on July 8, 2009 at 8:57 AM
Really, the point of the ad is meaningless when there are about 10 Republicans in the Senate who can be counted on to vote with the Democrats at least half the time. Gang of 14, anyone?
BigD on July 8, 2009 at 8:58 AM
Saw this through Instapundit and liked it, simple and concise.
Follow it up with some real numbers that Americans can apply to their own lives and create the basis to hammer the ‘rats in 2010. Don’t use trillions or hundreds of billions, use the numbers that individual families will see on their utility, gasoline and grocery bills to get the points across.
Bishop on July 8, 2009 at 8:58 AM
I am sure the demoncrats will try to rip this apart however, as always there is not a single thing presented that is not true. I think even demoncrats are going to swing, to a certain point, away from “the One” with the thoughts of another possible bailout. As always, I will vote again.
Conservican on July 8, 2009 at 8:59 AM
yep
indeed ed
you can be against something
but you need people to be for you
the dhemmocrats tried to be against bush, but none of them we were really FOR kerry in 2004

Franken is a twitchy freak. As well as an unhinged, petulant, angry MoonBat.
God help us all.

Good ad.
Upstater85 on July 8, 2009 at 9:02 AM
A great ad..but where is it running? Online? TV? Which markets? This needs to be shown across the country.
Thunderstorm129 on July 8, 2009 at 9:02 AM

blatantblue on July 8, 2009 at 9:06 AM
I like it.
My only (minor) worry is that it will be one of those things that make people feel guilty and therefore they won’t want to listen or they’ll get angry and want to shoot the messenger, so to speak. Because I actually misread the “They have no one to blame” part and thought it was going to say They have no one to blame but the American people.
pannw on July 8, 2009 at 9:07 AM
How do Senate Republicans talk about fiscal responsibility when many of them have a record of being fiscally irresponsible? How do they talk about getting government out of energy production when they keep passing laws for bigger government intervention? Fact of the matter is that what the Senate GOP needs most is a better set of Republicans!
Make no mistake, Democrats are more vulnerable than they think but to do so, the GOP needs to be out there with a harsh right-of-center message. That kind of position runs counter to the positions staked out by rat bastard traitors like McCain and Collins. Chuck Grassley is wasting time on flag burning amendments. Only Mitch McConnel seems to be on message.
highhopes on July 8, 2009 at 9:08 AM
Oh believe me, I know. I am positioned inside the blast radius. Just waiting for the first incident. Suspect it’ll be floor speeches either for Kennedy-Dodd or the C&T bill.
I actually hope the RSCC has someone tasked with trying to light this guy’s fuse.
DrSteve on July 8, 2009 at 9:09 AM
Why not go all out? How much money would it cost to get 30 minutes of air time on CBS? Why not run their own infomercial about healthcare or cap and tax and show contrasting ideas?

With the melancholy music it seems like they’re pandering to the political junkies and few others.
VibrioCocci on July 8, 2009 at 9:11 AM
Good ad. That message will (please please please) get through even the densest of skulls.
Could this be our follow up strategy?
One Against Many on July 8, 2009 at 9:11 AM
Sure, be for something, but do it in a separate commercial. The news right now is bleak, and the GOP should pull no punches and should not be afraid to call it like it is for fear of being negative. I therefore have no prob with the negative tone of the ad. In fact, they left out 10% unemployment.
If I were running things, I’d be hammering the unemployment #s, and the dreadful job prospects for young high school and college grads. And I’d run it online. Message: 10% Unemployment. Democrats are jobkillers. How are you liking The Change?
james23 on July 8, 2009 at 9:11 AM
It’s perfectly fine with me if God doesn’t help Democrats and liberals. They are the enemy to the American way of life and any chance of restoring the US will have to be over the resistance of Democrats.

The NRSC oughta be running with this, whether or not it has a chance to pass. Every Dem on Capitol Hill should be asked about this today, and either endorse it or condemn it.
Alcee Hastings is Hitler. There, I said it.
Akzed on July 8, 2009 at 9:12 AM
very lame ad from a very lame and dysfunctional Republican Party. The Rasmussen poll says it, although vague. Its not so much “financial and economic” issues but jobs. High paying private sector jobs. Or the lack thereof. Obama and the radical environ whackos are gleefully disposing of a half million jobs per month and the Repub’s can’t seem to exploit that?? Because Republicans place little value on jobs for US citizens. That has been their attitude over the past 6-8 years. Especially since 1/21/05. And that one issue is what cost them the elections on 11/7/06 and 11/4/08. And they’re still not wise to that fact. Darvin Dowdy
Darvin Dowdy on July 8, 2009 at 9:13 AM
Exactly what I’ve been trying to say.
We just can’t be the “anti-Dems”.
JetBoy on July 8, 2009 at 9:14 AM
“Yes we can!”
Kidding. ;-) The GOP does need to run on a positive agenda(Contract With America II: The Wrath of Khan?), but they’re probably saving all that til next year when we get closer to the midterms. With over a year to go still, there’s not much else they can do aside from oppose what the Dems are pushing through.
Doughboy on July 8, 2009 at 9:16 AM
I really believe the GOP wants us to think this way toward Democrats so they can get their power back. After that I don’t think there is one Republican with a spine or a “pair” who will cut the size of government or do anything to dramatically change the status quo
VibrioCocci on July 8, 2009 at 9:17 AM
Not to worry… the GOP still has Barbour and Jindal to show America what Republican leadership looks like… Let’s hope one of them doesn’t resign or have an embarrassing affair…

I’d crawl over broken glass to vote against Democrats if (only) the alternative were an empty Oval Office and an empty Capitol.
Democrat politicians are all worthless, corrupt, incompetent scum.
That being said, the Republican Party does need to give people something to vote for. Not everyone despises Democrats as much as I do, although for the life of me, I can’t figure out why not.

Upstater85 on July 8, 2009 at 9:21 AM
It’s a good start and perhaps the GOP is finally starting to pay attention to the lack of monetary support the base is providing as well as those who are calling themselves conservative but not Republican.
If the follow-up is positive and decisive, there may be something happenng, finally. I’ll wait and see.
Bishop on July 8, 2009 at 9:21 AM
I remember, and I know you remember. I think the fiscal conservative thrust still has a sharp edge on it. But as to someone else’s point, we need some new Republicans and some good primary challengers.
I think the 2010 ad specifics will come out just fine. Plenty of awful statistics to come out between now and then. Boondoggles, wasted moneys, failed programs — and where these aren’t found, juked stats and a trail of fired or bullied IGs. There will be more than enough fodder for 30-second spots.
Anyway, give us candidates with proven records of competence and fiscal conservatism and we’ll be just fine.

Before you plant a tree, you need to clear the brush…we need to set it up that the dems are failing, then we come in and establish our programs.
Right now so much is failing, that it is a perfect time to “clear the brush”, it is overgrown.
It is better to point out the failures, there are so many, then it will be easy to establish our solutions.

The democrats treat the public as if they were children giving them any thing they want, and we look like the bad guys trying to get a little discipline back in society. We know the children are going to go with the givers. Thats why we lose because it’s so darn easy being liberal.
fourdeucer on July 8, 2009 at 9:26 AM

Seriously, the adults in charge now have demonstrated that they can destroy this country at warp speed, but Bush didn’t do much to convince me that he wasn’t trying to damage the economy either (TARP, Medicare Part D, …).
Look at the number of Republicans who voted for Cap and Trade, the stimulus, etc.
I don’t want you to hate Democrats because they are Democrats – don’t hate them at all. Just do what you can to support a candidate who believes what you do.

profitsbeard on July 8, 2009 at 9:29 AM
No one will care about what the “balance” is in the Senate, only that the D’s are failing to do their jobs for the country.
That will be all that matters. The D’s can scream about Palin all they want; it will be the equivalent of trying to display the Shiny Pony.
Won’t work if things are the way they are now. The way Teh Won is printing money and kicking off inflation, they will be worse.

VibrioCocci on July 8, 2009 at 9:30 AM
Why should I vote for Republicans based on this ad? Because they’ll put a check and balance on Obama? In what way? Big government instead of bigger? Less higher taxes instead of more? What is the point? We gave them six years of control and they did nothing except a tax cut which they’re not even willing to defend because it has Bush’s name attached.
Someone wake me when we have a leader that espouses a principled conservative approach to governing.
smfoushee on July 8, 2009 at 9:31 AM
That has been a message several of us have been pounding the table with since 2005 starting at CQ’ers to no avail.
The common theme since has been the lack of Repub leadership. It persists to this day. They just don’t get it. Repubs will make gains in 2010 because of the dynamics of election cycle. What I fear is that they will again attribute those gains to their efforts as opposed to the real reasons, the election cycle and Dem failures.
patrick neid on July 8, 2009 at 9:31 AM
So yeah, step one of the plan is simple = wait for Dem’s to overreach, screw everything up, spend too much and go weak-kneed around the world. Check.
The problem with the necessary follow up is that Republicans don’t know exactly how bad things are going to be, and therefore don’t know what to give as a follow-up other than vague generalities like “we’ll fix it” or “we’ll spend less”.
Republicans might be staring at 10-15% unemployment. Might be staring at China not buying any more debt and the US suffering from hyper-inflation. Serious issues.
Can they lay out a strategy to fix it?
Thunderstorm129 on July 8, 2009 at 9:31 AM

right2bright on July 8, 2009 at 9:32 AM
it’s going to be an even longer time in the desert for conservatives if that is what the message from GOP ‘elite’
lame, no actually its double-lame and here’s why:
- Most voters don’t give a flying rats behind about Al Franken – much less recognize him in those clips, so that is a big FAIL
- Completely down played the most important parts which speak to the ‘pain’ of voters, and that is the jobs issues – yes, one 2 second ‘9.5% unemployment’ graphic won’t cut it
- Music? Geesh – are we at the funeral of a mafia boss? Way to instill optimism /sarc
- Can we leave our petty 2nd grade pissing contest at the door please? What’s with that ‘no one to blame’ line? That speaks to the echo chamber that is the GOP ‘elite’, but comes across sooo dumb to everyone else.
The ‘anti-dem’ party schtick is dumb and ineffective. Give us a reason to go to the polls to pull the lever for your sorry butts (although not *quite* as sorry as the dem butts)
gatorboy on July 8, 2009 at 9:32 AM
The republicans still don’t know how to fight even the the dems have been showing how its done for over 15 years now.
Allinky’s rule, pick the target an individual not a body, isolate it pounce on it and bury it. Al Frankin is OK to use as the boogeyman but he just got there. They need to demonize the head of the snake. They need to tie Pelosi (the worst pictures of her and there is plenty of them)around the neck of every democrat in the house and demonize the the living hell out of her and the dems.They have Dodd, Frank and Waxman, the ones the electorate can recognize. Voice over announcer, “They voted to raise your electric bill in time of eceonomic crises, he / she voted to put your grandchildren in debt, he/she voted to tax your health care benefits during a recession, he/she voted to take away your choice of doctors and have the government pick them for you, He/ she voted to make America a less safe country by cancelling vital defense systems.” They have to be hard hitting and graphic. Talking about checks and balances won’t cut it. The average independent voter with limited political interest with think they are talking about a personal checking account. Anybody remember the church burning ads in the south done by the dems in the 90’s? The dems used this tactic this with Newt and was effective. The republicans have to fight fire with fire. Their is a goldmine of issues out there them dems can be brought to task on. The republicans just need the balls to call them on it.

And doesn’t get b**chslapped by the McCain wing of the Party for doing so. Seriously, the intolerance of McCain et. al. to social and evangelical conservatives is a far bigger hurdle for the GOP to overcome than selling the nation on the idea that somebody needs to reign in the filthy liar and his corrupt party.
The GOP is where it is because McCain and his ilk have run around acting like little Democrats. Victory will only come when their kind is irrelevant to the discussion and, in the Senate, virtually all of them are just like McCain. I’m still going to contribute to individual politicians but the Senate GOP is still on my blacklist. Even after shedding Specter there are still too many rat bastard traitors within the GOP ranks.

yoda on July 8, 2009 at 9:40 AM
The message needs to be that the economy will recover, and would have been further along if Obama had kept his hands out of it.
Focus on the minimal amount of spending so far of stimulus dollars as politization of the dollars that had to be approved immediately so they could sit idly by as people lose jobs, only to be held back to be used as campaigning talking points in a couple years.
Obama is NOT encouraging private sector recovery, but the signals are out there he is trying to begin to spin this recovery into his favor.
I’ve recieved multiple emails and phone calls questioning whether I have ‘taken advantage’ of Stimulus dollars in the form of tax rebates or for adding employees.
Look for propaganda to come spewing from the administrations spin machine in the next month or so.

For six years, the Presidency and Congress were Republican and they demonstrated that they could not properly hold each other in check when they were spending too much. Now we have the reverse situation but we have the same problem times 10. I am aware of all the Republican are “for” that the Democrats are not. I voted AGAINST Obama… notice that doesn’t equate to FOR McLame. To continue to offer candidates that have their strongest point of not being the other guy is simply not good enough. If 40% of the people are conservative, that’s enough for a start. Notice that doesn’t say “Republican”. They are not the same thing and haven’t been for a long, long time.

Fine ad.
But at some point things are going to get passed with the magical sixty and it’s not going to be the Democrat 60.
Bayh and Landrieu or some other mix is going to vote NO on something but their votes will be replaced by Snowe and Collins.
There is no good ad for that scenerio.

Stating the obvious doesn’t change minds.
Republicans need a Contract with America strategy…now.

Don’t know about you, but I kinda miss those days..

I’d settle for CONTACT (paper) with America right now, the GOP is really quiet with new ideas.

No, the key to winning is having a clear coherent message that challenges the status quo. You can’t be “positive” and attack the filthy liar on his out-of-control spending or his massive plans to destroy healthcare. There is nothing positive about the way the stimulus money has been squandered on political spoils for the filthy liar’s cronies.
I want a reprise of that LBJ ad featuring a mushroom cloud not pictures of John McCain wearing a sweater and hugging a kitten.
