Democratic 'Trackers' Skulk Around GOP Events
I guess this means the gloves are off.



Democratic groups are sending "trackers" to Republican rallies and events in the hopes of catching GOP candidates making campaign-ending verbal gaffes.

According to The New York Times, Democratic organizations like American Bridge 21st Century employ full-time workers to carry high-tech video cameras to GOP events where candidates interact with voters. They also staff a headquarters where a video archive is compiled, ready to be used at the right moment during the campaign season.

The goal is to use candidates' own mistakes against them, dealing a knockout blow in the process.

“Our obligation here is to get these guys on the record with what they really believe so they can’t walk away from their record,” American Bridge President Rodell Mollineau,told the Times. “There are many opportunities for us to record Republicans showing their true colors.”

1. It's about time.
The gloves should have been off a long time ago.

You know they do it.

3. I should have known it was NewsMax using 'Skulk'.
You could have given fair warning that you were linking to a garbage dump.

5. This is a good thing.
Although they need to cover themselves in Urine of the female republican so they won't pick up their smell.

6. Have some guts and say, folks of ours, dont make asses of yourselves.
But this is less stigmatizing to them.

7. Unrec for RW talking point title
They are merely reporting the news that the MSM is failing to report.

8. Well, how dastardly - using the candidates being themselves against them.
Using the truth! How low can you go?
