Obama Allies Launch New Ad Directly Attacking GOP Leaders — White House Told In Advance.

What's the purpose of this ad? The Dems don't NEED the votes to pass the stimulus package.

What, you thought they all got together after the election and gave each other big HUGGZZZ?

Somebody needs to look up the definition of "politics".

[lafinfil]

So we have an independent group / union that is employing their constitutional right to exercise
free speech by producing ads to lobby members of congress to pass a package that they feel
will ultimately benefit their membership in the form of increased jobs.

Do I have that right ? The site speculates that the White House knew about and and approved them,
although that is not proven - just conjecture.

They spent their own funds to produce these unlike the Bush White House that spent taxpayer money
to plant fake news stories that ran as real news items in 2005-06. At least by spending their own money
they have stimulated the advertising economy. Also they are truthful about the origins, so if they are
"playing politics" they are paying for it out of their own pocket.

But what is the point, Lafinfil? The Repubs aren't going to vote for the stimulus just because Dems prod them too.

The point is to let the public see that the Republicans are being obstructionists, even as they pretend it is only Democrats who are being partisan during this process.
