Good ad, bad ad in health care

A Weekly Standard article contrasts the fact that pro-ObamaCare ads attack opponents, while anti-ObamaCare ads attack ObamaCare.  I know which I believe is a more effective approach.  While people in politics believe politics is everything, ordinary people care, not about process, but about product.

Here’s an example of an excellent ad, highlighted in the Weekly Standard article:

The differing approaches remind me of the old legal adage:  If you have the facts, argue the facts [which is what Republicans are doing]; if you have the law, argue the law [which is what Republicans are doing]; and if you have neither fact nor law, pound the table [which is what Democrats are doing].
