Republicans are planning to spend the vast majority of their sizable financial war chest over the final 60 days of the campaign attacking Democratic House and Senate candidates over personal issues and local controversies, GOP officials said.

The National Republican Congressional Committee, which this year dispatched a half-dozen operatives to comb through tax, court and other records looking for damaging information on Democratic candidates, plans to spend more than 90 percent of its $50 million-plus advertising budget on what officials described as negative ads.

Anyone who has been reading my work for the past few years knows how disgusted I was during the 2004 Presidential Campaign when “Values Voting” was shoved down the throats of the people.  So many Catholic friends of mine refused to vote for John Kerry because he was an eeeeevil liberal.  The Republican Noise Machine with their media helpers pushed the narrative that George Bush won because of “Values”. 

What a load of crap.  Is it a “Value” to drag a candidate’s military service through the mud?  Or how about serving as an apologist for torture and the continous violation of privacy rights?  So much mierda has been peddled over the past several years that I can barely stand to call myself an American anymore. 

You are on the receiving end of constant propaganda that makes you feel all warm and squishy inside as Patriotic Americans for supporting the Decider in Chief.  Meanwhile, the housing market is tanking, poverty levels are soaring, due process is a thing of the past, and nuclear war looms on the horizon.  Those certainly don’t sound like Values I hold, which is why I have never supported this (mis)Administration.

If I sound angry, it’s because I am.  The election season is going to be bloody, and the point of calling out the nonsense is because not all of the blood is metaphorical.

This nightmare has gone on long enough.  Time to wake up.
