Remember George Allen and Macaca?

From Eric Dondero:

Democrats in absolute panic mode, reading the poll numbers, and seeing a massive Hurricane coming their way, are now going back to the only weapon they've got left in their arsenal; attacking Republicans personally.

From WaPo "Democrats digging harder than ever for dirt on Republicans" July 7:

Democratic officials are advising campaigns to hire trackers to follow their Republican opponents to public events with video cameras, ready to catch any gaffe or misstatement. And the Democratic National Committee last week issued a call to the public to submit any embarrassing audio or video of Republicans, as well as copies of their direct-mail advertisements.

Republicans don't need dirty tricks, "we just need C-SPAN"

Joe Sciarrino, Spokesman for the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) told Libertarian Republican:

“After a failed $787 billion stimulus, record high unemployment, and a healthcare takeover that grows more unpopular by the day, this is clearly a Hail Mary as Democrats attempt to cling to power. It’s disappointing, but not surprising, that national Democrats are dredging the bottom of the barrel in an attempt to discredit Republican candidates campaigning to fix the problems Speaker Pelosi and her minions have perpetuated.”

Republican Party of Texas (RPT) spokesman Bryan Preston told Libertarian Republican:

"Once you get past the branding and hoopla, the Democrats' 'macaca campaign' shows how desperate they are. They're cornered on the issues and know that they're about to lose big, not just here in Texas but everywhere. They're scared to come home in August to face voter wrath before facing defeat in November. Their astroturf Obama activist army has been an unending source of embarrassment for them here in Texas, as we keep catching them pushing out outrageous messaging and fundraiser emails. Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden contribute their own gaffes nearly every day, like Pelosi saying that unemployment checks create jobs. Republicans didn't need trackers to get that one, we just needed CSPAN."
