Really, Democrats? False Robo-calls Come Off as Desperate


During one of the most contested elections in modern times, Maryland Democrats are so  
                    desperate to win that they are willing to out and out lie to do it. 

Right in our own back yard, the truth seems to be taking a back seat to partisan politics.

Starting recently, constituents of Virginia's 2nd District (Scott Rigell-R), and Maryland's 6th District (Roscoe Bartlett-R) have been receiving robo-calls attempting to link Rep. Rigell and Rep. Bartlett to renegade Missouri Congressional candidate Todd Akin's outrageous "Legitimate rape" comments. 

The problem? BOTH representatives have publicly condemned Akin's comments and have asserted that they do not share his views. Where does the line lay when it comes to Democratic mudslinging? Its obvious that they are trying to divert the eyes of voters from the real issues facing America. 

The mad dash to tie an entire party to the comments of one rogue-integer candidate has been evident across the country and (ever so conveniently?) comes as Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan and the Republican National Committee step into the spotlight for the Republican National Convention. This kind of petty partisanship should show America what some Democrats are willing to do in pursuit of the win.
