THE CLASS ACT CONTINUES – AT 4:07 A.M. ET:  The Democratic strategy for the midterms has "statesmanship" written all over it.  Not.  From The Politico:

After months of attacks against the Tea Party by Democrats calling them everything from extremists to racists with no explanation, the reason is now clear.

Part of the Democrats strategy for trying to keep control of Congress is to link the Republican Party to the Tea Partiers. They are releasing what they say is the identical agenda of both the Tea Party and the Republicans and titled it, “Contract on America."

The Democrats are saying that the Republicans and Tea Party will repeal all that the Dems have “accomplished."

I’m not sure about the Republicans, but speaking for myself as a Tea Partier, I would love to repeal Obama-care and everything else this administration has “accomplished."  It would be the best thing for the future of this nation. That is unless you like bankruptcy…

COMMENT:  It's pretty clear that the Democratic campaign will feature fear as its main calling card.  And "racism" will be on the flip side.

These are old tactics on the left, but the tragedy is that our first post-racial president is doing nothing to stop them.  This is going to be an ugly campaign coming up, and don't underestimate the ability of the Democratic party to make low tactics work.
