Propaganda Wars, Pt. 2: Mislead, misinform, anything to get the vote

The Democrats have already lost if their only objection to the recent employment of misconception-breeding phone calls used by the Republicans to get votes is that they're misleading. Of course they're misleading! That's the point, and of course, acting like integrity plays an important role in getting votes is so naive as to be almost ignorant.

The real problem with this scenario is that the Democrats aren't using similar tactics to "inform" their voters of the potential evils of electing a Republican.

And I can't help but be frustrated that, instead of instituting an equally biased response using the same or similar technology, the best the Dems can do is call the NY Times and say it's misleading. Do they still really think that voters choose based on the real issues?

Has anyone been paying attention for the last 8 years?
