Mourning in America | 23 September 2010

A pretty good ad produced by Citizens for the Republic:

By good, I mean of course, effective and a nice echo of Reagan’s famous Morning in America ad. Don’t expect a GOP-controlled Congress to do much better however. The GOP’s Pledge to America basically amounts to “rolling back” non-defence, non-entitlement spending to, oh, 2007 levels. That may not amount to a pledge to do nothing but the rhetoric of the document is not, I think, matched by its substance. This should not surprise anyone.
