2010 - U.S. House of Representatives - Anti-John Boccieri - "Not Independent", 2010-01-01 - 2010-12-31

This political advertisement is sponsored by the national Republican congressional committee and targets Congressman John Boucher, presumably a Democrat, given his association with speaker Nancy Pelosi. The ad criticizes Boucher for his voting record, claiming he aligns with Pelosi 93% of the time, which they argue indicates a lack of independence. The ad specifically points to his support for a $787 billion spending bill intended to stimulate the economy, suggesting this policy contributed to a 10% rise in unemployment in Ohio. Thus, the key themes of the ad are fiscal responsibility, job creation, and political independence, with the implicit message being that Boucher's policies have failed in these areas.
