Or the calls Bush's camp made to voters during the 2000 South Carolina primaries, asking voters if they'd be less likely to vote for Senator McCain if they found out he'd fathered an illegitimate black child (McCain adopted a Bangladeshi girl and I guess the Republicans assumed their South Carolina Republicans were too stupid to know the difference. Seeing as how South Carolina crushed McCain's primary run, I'll leave it to you Republicans to decide if your party leaders were right about that).

I'm not saying the robo-calls PointG5 is getting aren't likely stupid or annoying, but to say these calls are made because true liberals "are completely insane" is ridiculous. Vote for Chabot because you like what he stands for (flip-flopping on the Prescription Drug bill, for instance), not because his opposition is doing what oppositions do during campaigns. Hey, it worked for Cleland's opposition.
Unfortunately GR, many of the younger "republicans" have little to no understanding of what makes one "liberal" or "conservative". Their parents are republicans so in an effort to appear politically aware the kids parrot everything they hear at the dinner table during thanksgiving.

I can hardly blame them though. Today's Neo cons have gone so far away from traditional republican ideals im sure the parents dont even know what to think.
