Attack Ads You’ll Be Seeing

Ruth Marcus of the Washington Post predicts some “Attack Ads You’ll Be Seeing.”  her column begins:

Here’s an emerging line of attack you can expect to hear more of in the 2008 congressional campaigns — especially if you live near a vulnerable Democratic incumbent: Democrats vote to give welfare benefits to illegal aliens.

Or, even better: Democrats vote to take benefits away from deserving senior citizens to pay for welfare for illegal aliens.

Ugly? Absolutely. Devastating? So Republicans hope. True? No.

****

Unfortunately, Marcus may be accurately predicting our future.  Just look at what we have seen already  in the 2008 Presidential race with Mitt and Rudy fighting over who is tougher on immigration and immigrants.  Just how ugly things will get before election day in November 2008 is anyone’s guess.
