MORE ON THE UPCOMING GOP MUD SLING

Updating yesterday's post. From Talking Points Memo courtesy of Eschaton:

And who have they chosen to head up the effort?

According to the Post, that man is none other Terry Nelson.

And who is Terry Nelson?

Nelson has the unique distinction of being tied to two of the biggest cases of Republican campaign corruption in the Bush era. Nelson was implicated in the infamous New Hampshire phone-jamming scandal and he was an unindicted coconspirator in the political money-laundering case which ended Tom DeLay's career.

So the GOP, having absolutely no positive record on which to run in the upcoming Congressional elections, has launched a negative "get the dirt on the Dems" campaign, which seeks to drown out common knowledge of near total loyalty to Bush by Republicans with a downpour rumor, innuendo, and lies. In other words, old-school Nixon style dirty tricks. I'm sure that Karl Rove, a master at this sort of thing, is providing spiritual guidance for the effort, but this guy Nelson, whose corporate-friendly bio says nothing about his fangs, sounds like nearly as big of a bastard. The fact that he was in on this phone-jamming thing says it all: the Republicans aren't just going to play dirty; they're going to cheat, just as they did in the 2000 Presidential election, just as they did in the '04 election.

I think I'm starting to figure out how to read right-wing code. "Taking the high road" means "mud-slinging," and "mud-slinging" means "election theft." These fuckers never tell the truth.
