Republicans want a Communist Dictatorship

At least that's the overall message of a commercial I saw this morning. . .

The Senate's fight over the use of the filibuster to block judicial nominees is headed toward a climax this week as the two sides continue to fail to reach a compromise. The commercial was paid for by a PAC and shows cartoon elephants rampaging through a cartoon Washington, D.C., and tearing apart the capital. The narrator points out that the Republicans control the White House and both chambers of Congress, and that a majority of federal judges were appointed by Republican presidents. "But that's not enough." What? Was this PAC founded by Ron Popeil? 'But wait! There's more!' The narrator continues that the Republicans are trying to break the rules (it may have been merely "change," I only saw it once) to gain more control over the country. The narrator mentions "a few brave Republicans" who have stood up to the party and tried to stop them. We get a Batman TV-series style angled close up of a nervous looking cartoon guy in a suit, then a wider view of the elephants walking down the middle of the street and the guy standing in front of them in a parallel of the incident in China's Tienamen Square where a man stood holding his grocery bags in front of advancing tanks. Finally the narrator tells us to contact our Republican Senators and ask them to stop trying to break the rules, and Senator Lugar's name and a toll-free number appear.

So, as you can see, the Republicans are clearly a bunch of cleverly (or not so much, depending on your p.o.v.) disguised Communist dictators. You'd better call your Republican Senator before you have to stop the elephant on your street!

Yeah, I know, you do what must be done to get your message across, but that seems sensational even for a PAC.
