Republican PR gurus seem to be hitting a new low, beating the incredible marketing techniques previously mentionned by Tan last week. From Metafilter:
The National Republican Congressional Committee has launched a $2.1 million campaign calling individuals, including those on the Federal Do-Not-Call Registry, with automated telephone messages scripted to sound as if they are coming from the Democratic candidate up for election, in the hopes of driving away support come Tuesday's elections. "Hello. I'm calling with information about [Democratic candidate]," the recording begins, and then pauses for the traditional hang-up. If the recipient does indeed hang up, they then receive repeated phone calls back.
Also in case you were wondering, despite Mark Foley’s predilection for young boys, and Ted Haggard’s love of Meth and Manly hookers, "it’s the Democrats that are sex-offenders".
