re: Congratulations!
Scott, "The Democrats have figured out how to destroy the reputations of their opponents."
Tom DeLay comes to mind. His reputation was killed just by the word of his political opponent and no evidence.
To be fair, both sides do this. It is a trick to put negative images into the public's eye. Even if they prove to be false, as in DeLay's case, the negative image remains.
It is a political trick both Democrats and Republicans are guilty of. It is really bad on the local level.
