Via The Patriot Room, could the GOP be onto something with their new ad?
The new video ad, entitled The Comeback Starts in 2010, lays some nice groundwork and sets up the issues for next year. They split screen Carter and Obama and sprinkle GM, AIG, and the bailouts on top and ask if we want more of that. They they have Reagan speaking, as if from heaven itself, with his words and the light falling on the faces of hopeful Americans, urging us to muster our strength to fight to defend our freedom. Wrap up with a crowd cheering USA!, USA!, USA!, and you can't help but think the GOP may be onto something. Because Americans have been cheering USA! at rallies far longer than they have been chanting O-ba-ma.
Now is the time to make your choice. You can choose to be a responsible person with your freedom, give the time and energy that preserving that freedom demands, or you can choose to not, be irresponsible with your freedom, and risk losing it.
“Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel.”

What a great ad! For too long, Republicans - both in California and across the nation - have failed to produce a vision that binds us to the conservative values we share.
After watching that ad, I have a small sliver of hope that maybe, just maybe, we can pull it together and give America what we know they need.
CALIFORNIA REPUBLICAN LEGISLATORS - PLEASE TAKE NOTE! We too need a vision for the state!
Republicans don't have a chance in any election -- regardless of Democrat performance -- unless they grow a pair. The media will always run interference for the Dems and we need Republican leaders who, like the Gipper, could parry the media attacks and communicate directly with the American people. Instead, this current batch seems to be "compromising" with Dems, taking blame for wrong policies, and playing by polite rules while the Dems play dirty. Grow a pair, or keep losing..... Where is today's Newt Gingrich or Ronald Reagan? Could Sarah Barracuda lead the charge in the Senate? I hope she will at least be among those leading the charge.
I think there is much to like about this ad. The imagery, the sounds, the feeling of something greater than the person running. It is a good introduction ad, that something is coming. Now the real test will be if something actually shows up and the Republicans are able to deliver candidates that are able to stand for something, or as and earlier comment says, "grow a pair." We need candidates that stand on principles and values while delivering through message and accomplishment of goals and policies of the Republican ideal. We must also focus on the larger issues and not let our candidates be caught in the mire of one issue verses another or if someone is a RINO. Together Republicans can do something great, but only together.
