I KID YOU NOT, THEY
http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/04/30/gop.ad/?iref=hpmostpopHouse Republican leader John Boehner released a lengthy Web video Thursday suggesting Democrats are not keeping Americans safe -- part of what GOP sources tell CNN is a renewed political effort to push a historically winning issue for Republicans: national security.
"We're quite happy to be talking about national security," said a House GOP leadership aide who requested anonymity to speak freely about internal strategy.
The aide insisted that Republicans have substantive, serious policy differences with President Obama on national security, especially with regard to his approach to dealing with detained terror suspects.
But the aide also conceded Republicans believe those differences have a political upside for them.
"It's an issue that traditionally plays well for us," said the aide. "From a political perspective, it will be beneficial over the long run."
The campaign-style video, created by a Boehner aide in his Capitol office, begins with the question, "What are Democrats doing to keep America safe?"
Then, with ominous music in the background, it splices sound bites from news reports and Republicans talking about the dangers of President Obama's decision to close Guantanamo Bay and to release Bush-era memos about harsh interrogation techniques.
Watch this farce of an ad, and remember to rate it and leave a comment. Boner left them open, and they are not great. Dumbass!
