I think (and could be wrong - no evidence here) that most actual voters are working folks, or folks that want to work. Totally government-dependent sloths don't do anything that they don't have to, and they don't have to vote.

These ads reinforce the GOP base and (hopefully) convince some "independents" that this move by Obama was bad, like most moves he's made (those made on the basketball court excepted).
