Democrats say GOP budget cuts hurt Ebola response

Democrats are trying to gain a political edge on the Ebola front, saying Republican-driven spending cuts have hurt the nation's ability to fight the deadly disease.
It was pushback against Republicans who have accused President Barack Obama of doing too little to combat Ebola. Democrats say it's the GOP's steady push for less government spending that's hampering key agencies at a crucial time.
"Republicans voted to cut CDC's budget to fight Ebola," says a new Web ad aimed at GOP House candidates, and sponsored by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. The CDC is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The ad is not running on TV or radio thus far, and it's unclear whether it, and similar efforts, will have much impact on the midterm elections three weeks away. Republicans are reaching for six new seats to grab control of the Senate and to strengthen their majority in the House.
