Ben Smith at Politico reports that Republicans viewed the whole bail out as a way to set up Demcorats from the get go.
The Republican National Committee’s new advertisement critical of the the Wall Street “bailout” was produced and sent to television stations in key states before the package failed, officials at two stations said.
“Wall Street Squanders our money. And Washington is forced to bail them out with — you guessed it — our money. Can it get any worse?” asks the ad’s narrator, as the words “BAILOUT WITH OUR MONEY” cross the screen. (The answer: Obama’s plans would make it worse.)
The ad, however, seems to assume that it can safely attack a successful plan. And the reason may be the timing: Though it started airing this morning, the spot was released to stations yesterday morning, ad executives at stations in Michigan and Pennsylvania said.
Is it any wonder I don’t trust Republicans? Can even the few decent Republicans around accept the fact that your party is not trustworthy? It is all politics all the time for Republicans. They put thier party first time and time again.
Disgusting.
