RICHMOND, Va. (WLS) - The presidential race is already creeping onto local television in the 2012 battleground of Virginia.
The Republican National Committee previewed a new 30-second attack ad Wednesday that portrays President Barack Obama as a dupe of a China that has mastered the United States by January 2017, the hypothetical end of Obama's second term.
The ad, with light penetration but a big social media component in Virginia, depicts a wide-eyed girl in a darkened room fearfully viewing television images of Obama before a red-and-yellow Chinese flag and a cutaway shot of China's Communist leaders applauding.
RNC political director Rick Wiley says the ad is also airing in North Carolina, Iowa, Ohio, Florida and Indiana - states Obama won in 2008 but Republican George W. Bush carried in his 2004 re-election.
An afterthought in presidential elections for decades, Virginia was a decisive battleground in 2008 and a critical loss for the GOP in what had been a solidly Republican South. Obama was the first Democrat since Lyndon Johnson in 1964 to win Virginia in a presidential race.
This year, not only is Virginia in play again, but Obama's chief supporter in 2008, then-Gov. Timothy M. Kaine, is in one of next year's most-watched U.S. Senate races. Republican George Allen, trying to win back the seat he lost to Democratic Sen. Jim Webb in 2006, is favored to win the GOP nomination over a little-known field.
The GOP is striking while Obama struggles with Congressional Republican leaders to reach a compromise on raising the nation's $14.3 trillion borrowing limit by Tuesday or default on its bills for the first time in history. Wiley said polls show the drama is taking a toll on Obama heading into his re-election year.
"Across the board you're seeing it," he said. "We believe Barack Obama is beatable."
The ads, he said, "gives us a trial run before we put our grass roots in place across Virginia."
Brian Coy, a spokesman for the Democratic Party of Virginia, said the GOP is "holding our economy hostage" for political gain.
"They can launch all the ridiculous attack ads they want, but it won't distract Virginians from the fact that Republicans don't understand working families and don't have a plan to create jobs," Coy said.
Virginia is one of the states that will be hit the hardest if the GOP sends the country into default next week. If they want to have any prayer of winning, they'll increase the debt limit.

So...Your position is that the GOP must surrender again to the irresponsibly fiscal whims of the Leftist Dems in order to dethrone 0bama?
LMAO.
Virgina is a fedgov hive of bloated bureaucracy. Let these parasites get real jobs (oh, that's right - the ONLY jobs in Virgina are fedgov jobs. Eff 'em.
How is agreeing to pay the bills that the GOP ran up when they controlled both the Congress and WH capitualating to the "leftist dems"?
War, let's be intellectually honest here; BOTH Parties ran up this un-godly debt. And BOTH Parties must ratchet down the un-godly spending.
And have you forgotten that since 2007 when the Dems first began controlling the purse-strings that the debt really began exploding into the ionosphere?
Again I refer you to The Federalist #10 in which the reason for the Framers choosing a Republic over a Democracy is discussed.
So, no, there is no need to read minds when the Framers have spelled out their reasoning of one over the other in print for posterity.
You first.
You never disappoint my very low expectations of you. You've spent more time on my bozo then off of it and, at this point, I really don't care which way you go.
You attempted to posit something that, as you wrote it, makes 0 sense. Now, honestly, I could care less if you clarified it. But, this appeared to be one of those few times where you are TRYING to have a discussion. If that is not the case tell me now.

Currently, we are no longer a representative Republic. No use in pretending anymore.

You still haven't learned to consider points and compromise in debating issues - much like your hero, 0bama.
Your bozo list is your business. Whatever. Engage if you feel like it. I'll do the same, thank you.
If I even had a gleaning of understanding as to what you "mean" here, I would still point out that the occupants of the WH and Senate are quite transient in nature when contrasted to a decision of the SCOTUS.

Firstly, I mean the Citizens United USCON decision was RIGHTLY decided, and Emperor 0bama and his loyal subjects - you, mininggold and Unions - are WRONG.
Secondly, the WH and the Dem Houses have virtually blown up the country a thousand different ways since 2009, yet you two are whimpering about - of ALL things - the Citizen United decision? Gimme a break.
The debt stood @ $10trl and the deficit @ $1.2trl when Obama assumed office.
Let's see. Half of the Bush deficit was due to the Bush tax cuts, and most of the rest was from Bush's two unfunded wars and Bush's unfunded prescription drug entitlement.

The second two items are legit...
Tax "cuts" are merely the People's refund for being overcharged in the first place. And btw, even those who paid ZERO taxes got "refunds" because the DEMS demanded it.
You did forget the cost of subsidizing the illegal invader population, the Plantation parasites, and increasing the goobermint's unnecessary agencies and drones.
How can you "refund" money when you're in debt $5trl+?
For the record, IMO Bush bribed the American people with his "Tax Cut" in exchange for looking the other way as he was involving us in his fake trillion dollar war.
Comparatively speaking though, those tax cuts/refunds are a mere pittance compared to War Tax, the Plantation Tax, and the Fedgov Drone Tax.
I am curious. Why don't you take a moment and answer my question in post #101? Are you afraid? Dispute the continuing evidence about your fucked-upped GAY CANARY.
Ah, that's right you can't. You play tricks because that is all you have to say.
