A new radio ad from the National Republican Congressional Committee is taking advantage of Democratic divisions in conservative swing seats, targeting one Democrat by using another Democrat's criticism of Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Here's the ad, targeting freshman Blue Dog Rep. Bobby Bright (D-AL). The ad refers to recent remarks by Park Griffith, another freshman Alabama Blue Dog, who said that he would not vote again for Pelosi as Speaker.

"Even some Democrats are tired of Nancy Pelosi," the man says, saying how "One Alabama Democrat congressman says he cannot support her an-y more." However, he explains: "Bobby Bright is sticking with Pelosi. Bright votes with Pelosi 70 percent of the time."

Which is why it appeals to the neanderth...err, neocons and Republicans. Dumbing down is their way.

"Blue dog" is a misnomer for these guys. They're Dixiecrats, pure and simple.

What, Democrats are actually allowed to have their own opinions, and aren't in lockstep with positions dictated by their leadership like Republicans? What a shock...
