Radio ads sounding like newscasts, putting your ballot number with a picture of your opponent on
fliers, distributing anonymous leaflets in front yards with made up items about your opponent, putting up signs to have your opponents supports call for a ride to polls that has a number to a morgue, stealing yard signs or using stamps to the make a sign say "BEAT" candidate name are nothing new. All these things predate people knowing who Karl Rove is and are part of politics.

If politics offends you why are you on a political message board?

3. Just making sure politicians remain true
to their core values.

Taking money from the rich.

Taking votes from the poor.

Promising to protect each from the other.
