Party Line

It's a rainy Thursday evening in October and you're just sitting down to dinner when the phone rings. "Hello?" you say, and a disembodied voice replies: "Hello. I'm calling for John McCain and the RNC because you need to know that Barack Obama has worked closely with domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, whose organization bombed the U.S. Capitol, the Pentagon, a judge's home and killed Americans. And Democrats will enact an extreme leftist agenda if they take control of Washington." It's enough to ruin your appetite! Less than three weeks before Americans head to the polls to pick a new president, the McCain campaign is rolling out the robo-calls. The latest, unearthed by Ben Smith of Politico, is going to voters in the battleground states of Wisconsin, New Mexico, Virginia, Florida, Missouri, North Carolina, and Maine. Expect even harsher phone attacks as we approach November 4.
