DNC Plays Whack-A-Mole With GOP In Latest Web Ad

The latest in DNC mockery of the Republican Party was released on Tuesday night in the form of a Web ad playing off of the GOP's staleness and internal frictions.

The "GOP Whack-A-Mole" spot is, in terms of theme, a reproduction of the line the DNC has been pushing for the past week; perhaps even longer. But it gets to the increasingly obvious subplot.

For the time being, both Dick Cheney and the Democratic Party have a shared objective, to elevate the former vice president to a larger role. What's aiding the process is the fact that few, if anyone, in the GOP is poised to eclipse Cheney on the national stage. As a Democratic operative reminded the Huffington Post: House Minority Whip Eric Cantor has approval ratings only slightly higher than the former vice president. Moreover, he's not known outside his home state, with 48 percent of respondents (according to a recent Rasmussen Poll) saying they didn't have enough knowledge of the Virginia Republican to form an opinion.

So much ammunition and that's what they come up with?

It's childish, like, it's made for toddlers or something.
I hope they didn't pay someone for that.

What the F was that? That's the worst video I've seen in MONTHS. Pointless and confusing. YOU WASTED 30 SECONDS OF MY LIFE AND I WANT 'EM BACK!

The Democrats are finally learning that in order to climb to power and to stay in power, is to trash the other side. It's unfortunately the truest axiom of politics in this day in age. At least the Democrats are doing something about dealing with all the crap out there. And above it all, Obama can still deliver his message to the American People.

Keep Pushing Out these WEB ads ...

They are free and cheap ( simple to make ) ...

Their target audience is also the FUTURE of the Country ...

the Younger Voters ...

I love the simple BUT direct messaging ...

Just don't pay to put these on TV ....

I don't understand who this i targeted toward. It seems like the DNC is preaching to the choir. Who are the voters care what the strategic "face" of the GOP is? It's too much about political strategy talking to insiders who don't need to be reminded or swayed. Shouldn't this money be spent on talking about how lame the GOP is regarding ideas? STILL?? We should b paying to help Obama's message get out. We should be talking about his plan and how it's doing regarding progress. We should be putting pundits on the streets and doing PR. This "ad" is just childish meaningless frivolity whose message is already painfully redundantly obvious.

[HC4BO]

That's why it is WEB ONLY ...

It may be a bit simple-minded, but a little humor is greatly needed for most of us in times of stress.

[Dynamohum]

LAME.

[Kohimama]

Very lame.

[jjgg5]

Fantastic. A simple ad about the simple minded Republicans. I love it.

[DrToketee]

Yep. I can't believe the Dems put out such a poor quality video production - in fact, it looks like something the GOP would make. It takes the message and the MEDIA DELIVERY working together to make the point effectively.

[AirForce Vet]

They should call the game “Whack the Trolls.” The game seems a bit amateurish.

[graceland9]

I liked their ads last week, but this one was terrible. My students used to do better quality video in their powerpoint presentations. Sorry, DNC - call a twelfth grader and raise the quality!

[jerryfromcalifornia]

Well that was terrible. Who did they get a 5th grade class to do it. USE A PROFESSIONAL!

[mjtaylor22]

KEEP IT GOING, FORGET THAT POKE FUN AT THOSE IDIOTS, THIS WAS REAL SMOOTH.
OVER THE DECADES I HAVE GROWN SO TIRED OF THE DNC GETTING BEAT UP AND NOT SAYIGN A WORD,

SO KEEP IT GOING, SLAM THE RNC JUST ENOUGH, DO NOT GO OVER BOARD AS THEY DO, JUST THROW EM A JAB HERE IN THERE.

DNC - Please don't stoop to this level again. In these serious times we need a party that RISES to our challenges. We have a Beautiful Country to restore. Game time is over.

Direct videos that show citizens (in one way or another) how to use their lives in service of this country. That would show your supporters that you are thinking and spending their donations wisely.
