Besides the karmic affect that I was talking about in my Tibetan "What is the emotion they are appealing to?" theory, this is a tactic that *really* seems to backfire on Democrats when they try to adopt it, thinking that they have to "fight fire with fire." Why? Because they're so BAD at gettin' down and dirty. The Republican Party, definitely since Lee Atwater and possibly before, are the admitted masters of dirty tricks and media manipulation. The Democrats are without clue when they try to do this. To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!' Yahoo!
