Sound Advice for the GOP

Rather than engage in this nonsense, the RNC should take the advice of former Clintonite Dick Morris in today’s New York Post:

Here's one possible ad: We see and hear a wiretapped conversation, with a terrorist revealing his worst plans to his associate - and, inadvertently, to government eavesdroppers, too. Then, when he's about to spill the beans on when and where the next attack is going to come, the line should go dead, with a dial tone, with a machine voice saying "This wiretap terminated in the name of privacy rights by the Democratic U.S. Congress."

The announcer can then say, "If the Democrats win, the National Security Agency will never be able to listen in as the terrorists are plotting to attack us.

Connecticut’s Nancy Johnson has run a similar campaign ad. For more on the terrorist surveillance program, see Democratic Center, R.I.P.
