Tactics of Desperation

As the Rose colored glasses are being removed from people across the nation who hoped for 'Hope and Change' and all they're seeing is politics as usual, it appears the Dems may be feeling the sting from that. And they're responding with , you guessed it, smear campaigns and politics as usual.

In the VA Attorney General race, the Democrat contender is down by 16 points IIRC. His response is to send out campaign literature w/ the usual "Republicans are trying to arm felons and children" meme's.

With just days to go before the election, Virginia Democrats are getting desperate. In the race to become the commonwealth's next attorney general, state Delegate Stephen Shannon is trying to tar his opponent, state Sen. Ken Cuccinelli, for purportedly giving guns to convicted felons. Mr. Shannon is sending around literature with a scary picture of a violent criminal claiming: "FACT: Ken Cuccinelli, candidate for attorney general, voted to allow violent felons to purchase guns in Virginia."


So how many seats/offices are the Dems going to lose through 2010 if this trend continues?

In NJ, the Dem's are smearing any Republican Candidate as someone who wants to legalize assault weapons, or sell cigarettes in school zones.

Sounds like the same political conflation tactics. We sell you the fear, then sell you the protection. A two-fer.

CGB,
It's illegal to sell cigarettes in a school zone? Or just to minors in a school zone? WOW! Either way, HOW SCARY!
