MoveOn’s Bid To ‘Stop The Escalation’
February 8, 2007, 11:01pm
Democrats are pointing fingers at Republicans this week for blocking a vote to stop a U.S. troop surge in Iraq, and the liberal activist group MoveOn.org is helping carry the Democratic water with a new advertisement that attacks various GOP senators.
“Remember their faces, remember their names — the Republicans in the United States Senate,” the MoveOn ad says as it shows images of various GOP senators with the word “escalate” superimposed by their mouths. “They’re willing to send tens of thousands more troops to face danger in Iraq, but they don’t have the courage to face a vote. Tell your senators: Stop the escalation.”
The ad specifically mentions:
- Sam Brownback of Kansas, a potential 2008 presidential candidate;
- Elizabeth Dole of North Carolina;
- Judd Gregg of New Hampshire;
- Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky;
- Gordon Smith of Oregon;
- Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania;
- John Sununu of New Hampshire;
- George Voinovich of Ohio;
- And John Warner of Virginia.
MoveOn also produced separate videos aimed at specific senators — Brownback, Smith, Sununu and Warner.
