Karl Rove and Repubs up to their same old tricks....

They make some off-the-wall accusations against their Senate opponents, hoping to wear them down like water upon a stone.

For example, in Louisiana, they are accusing Mary Landrieu of "maybe" breaking the law back in 2001 by swapping influence for a $30,000 campaign contribution. http://www.foxnews.com/story/2008/01/08/sen-mary-landrieu-accused-swapping-influence-for-campaign-cash/

In Kentucky, Rove and his crew are questioning Alison Grimes campaign of somehow misusing her father's bus for campaign purposes. Anything to cast doubt, no matter how trivial it might seem. is their method of operation. http://www.kentucky.com/2014/08/21/3389822_questions-linger-about-grimes.html?sp=/99/322/&rh=1

Voters can expect the dirty tricks to continue between now and election day. They love their petty personal attacks over issues that matter to the people. Unfortunately, too many people are too busy to notice what they are doing?
