Yeah and don’t forget the stupid ads that say Republicans want to destroy Social Security by giving it to Wall Street. We are being bombarded by radio commercials that tell old people that their current Social Security is in a secure lock box, safe and sound while the dirty rotten GOP wants to take it away from them.
That reminds of the Gubernatorial campaign in Florida in 1994 where the loony left had one of their few bright spots that year - they stopped a Bush from getting elected (their only other accomplishment was stopping Michael Huffington in CA - he was doomed thanks to his nutjob of a wife).
At the last minute of the 1994 campaign, with Jeb leading in the polls, Chiles put through robo-calls to thousands of Florida seniors, saying that Jeb would reduce or take away their Social Security. A blatant lie - as if a GOVERNOR of a state can stop a FEDERAL program.
Naturally, the slimy Chiles denied any involvement with this dirty lie that scared thousands of elderly voters into switching their vote from R to D. But when he was safely in office, he admitted that he did in fact pull that particular dirty trick.
There's no reason that we shouldn't expect some kind of similar Democrat Dirty Trick in 2010, especially in a state like PA where we have nearly as many senior citizens as Florida.
