An advertisement produced by the RNC that won’t air on ABC because, well, our money (and message) is no good to them. The only currency (and message) ABC currently accepts is unpaid-for, deficit-increasing, bureaucratic-based, and government-run, unless of course, such is proposed by a Republican, and then ABC is automatically against it.

Good question.
The Republican strategy to defeat health care looks like it will be to attack the price tag in a time of recession. That may be effective short-term, but I think it is a mistake long-term.
By basing our argument on cost, we essentially are arguing over procedure, not substance; not right now, we cannot afford it. But the economy will get better someday, despite the suffocating regulation and increased government control of the private sector. When that happens, what will our argument be then? We will have conceded that nationalized health care might be a good idea, if we just had the money.
This would be a great opportunity for the Republicans on the Hill to present a conservative alternative to the health care problem. Instead of only standing against the president and the Democrats, we should try to stand for something. I do not know enough about Governor Romney’s plan in Massachusetts, but there has to be a free-market solution that would keep the government out of health care.
The other problem, at least in a subtle communication sense, is the language used: “How will they pay for it?” That’s our money, not their’s. How will we pay for it?
How will they pay for it? Better: How will we pay for it? Best: Why should we pay for it?

The RNC is set to release a report that it raised $25 million in the first quarter of this year.
This report is much anticipated by politicos as it is expected to be a measuring stick of Michael Steele’s performance as chairman, or so reports the politico.
