The Swift Boats are out again! Except, this time in the form of some fairly incompetant, not very intelligent bloggers over at Lucky Dawg News (www.luckydawgnews.com).
They have set up "Blogs 4 Heather" to "stop Nancy Pelosi's takeover of Congress!!!" They've said some pretty extremist things about Democratic nominee Patricia Madrid:

"Patricia Madrid wants America to lose the war on terror. ... she's a weak, appeaser that wants America to tuck tail and run from our enemies... Madrid's appeasement ignorance... Madrid is a self serving coward... Patricia Madrid's pre 9-11 mindset, cut and run strategy, baseless attacks on our commander and chief, and not supporting the troops"
I don't think words can describe how ridiculous this is. Not only is it ridiculous, it's dangerous. Despite the fact that these extremists come from the fringe of the Republican Party, I think that it's an omen for what's to come: nastiness.
This year, Republicans can't win on the issues. So, they're going to ATTACK, ATTACK, ATTACK. All across the country, they're going to lie about our candidates and make very personal, very inappropriate attacks. When a vicious, spiteful dog is backed into a corner as the Republicans are with their failed policies, all they have left is to attack, and that's what they're going to do. Look out!
Fortunately, Madrid hasn't stooped to their level. She's remained a class act. Not only that, but, she's doing a pretty decent job with her official blog, one of the better official blogs I've ever seen, check it:

Let's hope that nasty "Blogs for Insert Republican Name Here" don't start cropping up across the country!
