GOP Targets "Lapdog" Blue Dogs With New Radio Ads

The National Republican Congressional Committee has announced a new series of radio ads against five Blue Dog Democrats from districts that voted for John McCain, attacking them as “lapdogs” for Nancy Pelosi and President Obama.

The five targeted members are Reps. Marion Berry (D-AR), Charlie Melancon (D-LA), Earl Pomeroy (D-ND)), Zack Space (D-OH)), and John Tanner (D-TN).

“But this year in Washington, Earl Pomeroy’s not voting like a Blue Dog,” the announcer says. “He’s voting like a lapdog — a lapdog for Nancy Pelosi and President Obama. Pomeroy’s been voting with liberal Pelosi 99% of the time.”

The ads are essentially the same, with the scripts localized for the Congressman’s name — and if you listen carefully, the announcer taking on the appropriate regional accent.
