That ad is just the standard issue Republican scaring of the herd. They have done it in the last two elections and it has worked so they are trying it now. You would think that people would look at the commercial and see pictures of Bin Laden and think to themselves, "Why should I vote for someone who has promised to catch this guy, yet can't seem to get the job done?"
The repubs are desperate. They are down in almost all the polls and are staring losing both the house and senate to the dems in the face. With the Folley scandal and the mess in Iraq, all they have left to push is ,"be afraid and we will protect you."
It's politics as usual. The question is will the dems have spine enough to stand up and point out the repub failures? If I'm a Dem running for a seat I would not shut up about how the repubs promise to keep you safe, but they do nothing to stop the flow of illegals into this country and in 5 years they still can't get Bin Laden, the Taliban is gaining strength again and the war in Iraq is a cluster fuck. How long do you accept people promises before you finally decide it's over? But most dems are wimps and they won't do that. If the Dems fail to get at least one of the houses of congress back this election will be a huge failure for them.
