The attack from the right...

Thursday, November 15, 2007
 
The so-called Consumer Alliance for a Strong Economy has two radio ads up on their website, attacking health care reform.

This is a shady conservative outfit that doesn't reveal its members or funding sources, and that has put out similar "ads" both against Prop 72 in 2004, and against Governor Schwarzenegger's plan right after his announcement earlier this year. In neither case did the ads get much traction, or get much actual placement in the media.

As for the substance, the ads are not very original, attacking reform with ideological bromides like "government-run health care." No one said that 30-second ads increases the tenor of dialogue.
