2010 - U.S. House of Representatives - Anti-Denny Heck - "Perfect Together", 2010-01-01 - 2010-12-31

This political advertisement is sponsored by the national Republican congressional committee and targets Denny heck, a Democratic candidate from Washington. The central themes of the advertisement are health care reform, fiscal policy and energy taxation. Heck is accused of supporting a health care law that allegedly increases costs and cuts Medicare. The ad also criticizes his approval of a stimulus package, arguing that it augmented the national debt while failing to improve unemployment rates. He is further denounced for his unwillingness to oppose what is referred to as a "radical energy tax", which the ad claims could potentially cost the state 56,000 jobs. The ad aims to create a negative association between heck and the decisions made in Washington, d. C By using phrases like "heck and Washington, d. C They're perfect together.".
