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"? "Spandex", btw, isn't an answer.
But is Lycra?? Lol... 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?
The issue here is either honoring or not honoring debt. The rest is bullshit.
No, that's not the issue. The issue is whether we should be running up even more debt.
IMHO the issue is "how to we increase economic growth and spur job creation/wage increases." Talking about cutting government spending when the economy is limping along is idiotic and ignores what is currently going in countries like the UK that adopted austerity, as well as our own history (see 1937). The Democrats have let the Republicans shape the wrong agenda. Get back to 3-4% growth and the deficit becomes a much smaller issue.

The debt and deficits are two separate issues that have been melded into one. This nation incurred its first debt a few months after the Revolution was over. So we balance the budget tomorrow. We still have debt that does not come due until 2041. So we cut spending to the point where we surplus a trillion dollars a year. That's enought to retire barely a year's worth of debt as it comes due. So, we go ahead and do the latter, my guess is that the GOP, as it did in 2001, doesn't pay down debt but instead opts to give tax cuts to the wealthy.
