for instance. They have done lots of fund raising mailers on that kind of thing, repeatedly in the past. How do they get their grass roots to turn on a dime like that? I know Repubs are very servile, but they're also very ideologically rooted. I don't see how middle American R's are not up in arms about this -- especially since it's being done by Obama.

All I can say is The puppet masters must have stronger strings than I thought.
