"Why Republicans Lie"

[DemForLife]

This article hits the nail on the head.  I am from a small
rural city in Ohio.  The Democrat running for Mayor has served
in that very office previously, and did a great job.  He left
in the middle of his last term to fill a vacancy in the Ohio
House.  He appointed his successor, the woman who was
president of council at the time.  Well, she was re-elected to
a second term and is finishing that term.  She lost in the
primary to the man who appointed her.  Because of Republican
redistricting in our area, he lost his seat in the House.  We
practically begged him to run for mayor again.  The woman has
had a questionable reign for our city and we were sure to be
beaten by the Republican opponent had she been the nominee
this time.  Anyway, the Republican opponent is up to dirty
tricks as usual.  She collected money locally for our National
Guard Unit that was being deployed to Iraq a few months ago. 
They took a photo of her presenting the check to the Veteran's
organiztion here in my town.  To make a long story short, she
is exploiting this photo op for her own personal political
gain.  She printed up brochures and sent them to numerous
households in our city making it appear as if the veteran's
organization supports her candidcy.  This couldn't be farther
from the truth.  Our local paper has refused to print the
democratic party's version of the truth concerning this
blantant political trick.  So now we are getting donations to
place an ad in the paper refuting this horrible message that
the Republicans are trying to send to voters.  Her opponent is
a decorated Viet Nam vet.  The only way Republicans can win is
through trickery, distortion, charachter assasignation, etc. 
They certainly can't win on their own issues and merits.  This
is exactly why they lie.  They would wind up extinct as a
political party otherwise.  Okay, I'm done with my rant!
