Radio ads attack Voinovich

The Democratic-leaning activist group Americans United for Change just unveiled today two radio spots attacking Sen. George Voinovich, a Cleveland Republican, and calling on him to put an end to the war in Iraq.

Voinovich has said he does not support the recent troop surge in Iraq but has declined to vote for measures in the Senate designed to stop it.

The ads were produced using a 1-800 number by which regular people were able to leave messages about Voinovich and the war. The group then choose the top recordings for the ads.

CLICK HERE to read the text of the ads.

But you won't hear the ads unless you travel north – they're only playing in Columbus (on WTVN and WSNY) and in Cleveland (on WTAM). The total buy is $30,000.

The group previously launched ads against Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Louisville, whom the group calls " Obstructionist-in-Chief."

We desperately need an Iraq exit strategy. This country cannot continue on this path.

Outstanding ads, especially the one about Mitch McConnell's mindless echoing of the Bush Spin Machine's lies about Iraq. And how can Voinovich say he's against the surge but won't vote accordingly? A double dose of the famous Republican hypocrisy gene? (A mutation known to be fatal.)

Yeah, lets exit Iraq and then we'll invite the war here. Yeah, all you Americans who gave up on this War are quiters. Just like Americans to leave things unfinished.
