Can we please get rid of the simple people who can't think for themselves and vote based on party.

Rev, believe it or not, I'm not trying to start a party war here; I really want to know if anyone in any of the districts this is alleged to have happened in have gotten these calls-- Oracle was complaining about getting barraged with calls a few months back, all from the Dem candidate, and I'm curious as the 19th District is one of the ones cited in this thing. But I don't know if he's in the 19th District or not.
My first reaction was "How absolutely despicable" and my second reaction was, "And awfully clever. No wonder the Repubs keep winning; they play the game better."
If you would be so kind as to post info on the Dems playing the same game (robo-calling announcing the name of the Repub candidate first before anything else), please do so. I myself am tired of simple people who dismiss any sort of crummy and potentially illegal campaign tactics, with, "Oh, both sides are crooks." What a way to eschew any sort of responsibility for the state of one's own country. Most of these people seem to be Republicans lately, which I find very interesting.
Here's more on this robo-calling thing. From conservative John Cole's website. Actual conservatives, and not partisan hacks, are spitting mad about it. As they should be.

And from Andrew Sullivan (also conservative) on Republican posters in NY:

I lodged my first protest vote today, as I couldn't vote for Hevesi (crook) and I don't think the Republican candidate has the experience for state comptroller. Did not like being in that situation one bit. Yick.
Again, if you have stuff on dirty Dem tactics, post the links! I like being informed as much as I can.
