A week after Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman vowed to supporters in an e-mail that the RNC would "hold nothing back" and "spend whatever it takes" to "maintain our majorities," it's clear that Republicans across the country will do and say just about anything to get elected -- even resort to some of the most insidious forms of intolerance.In the last week alone, a Republican candidate in Minnesota attacked his opponent's faith, young conservatives in Michigan are running dangerous and divisive "Catch an Illegal Immigrant" and "Fun With Guns" events, and an Arizona Republican Congressional candidate refused to demand that former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke remove an endorsement and a link to his campaign from Duke's website

Unfortunately Republicans are up to their same tricks and gimmicks and have used the urgent need for a minimum wage increase as blackmail to try to pass a fiscally irresponsible estate-tax cut bill that would cost tax-payers $735 billion dollars. Republicans should stop playing politics by giving tax cuts to their special interests friends and support a straight up or down vote that doesn't turn the minimum wage bill into a poison pill.Bush in Colorado for O' Donnell
Less than two weeks after the people of Colorado learned of his call to abolish Social Security, Rick O'Donnell today welcomes the Social Security Privatizer-in-Chief to Colorado for a $1,000-a-plate fundraiser. But that's not the only controversy the President will raise for O'Donnell. During a week in which O'Donnell spent his time raising special interest cash from lobbyists in Washington, DC, the President was busy using his first Presidential veto to block sound science and deny hope to millions who could be helped by stem cell research. The move is unlikely to boost the President's 38% approval rating in Colorado. As the Wall Street Journal reported today, Bush's veto has hurt the GOP among moderate voters across the country.
