Perhaps, but this is low even for the GOP

Demonizing the Democrats is the GOP’s only message. It has been their everything since Jimmy Carter, maybe even before that.

Why would they change now?

This is in no way a new GOP message. They’ve been fear mongering for years now.

This is a low cost strategy for the GOP. They plant the seed now and if something happens, they can say “I told you so”. If nothing happens they use a different tactic in 2010/12.

That being said, it shows a lack of new ideas and that is going to have the GOP wandering in the wilderness for a long time.

I cannot ever recall seeing any kind of commercial in a non-election time where a party went after another president like that–or even at all.

Can you imagine if such a thing had occurred during the Bush presidency? People would have been put on trial for treason–and I am only slightly exaggerating. Heck, I think if the Dems had done against Bush I would have been offended.

This is not “fair game” as Boehner puts it; this is a game changer. Republicans are not governing or even playing the loyal opposition–this is turning the political process into a 1360-day campaign cycle at the most charitable or a war at its least. This is not how the political process is played in the United States.

What a bunch of sore losers. I am almost embarrassed for the GOP,

If I were Obama, any last desire to be bipartisan or reach out would die with that propaganda…er, commercial.
