When did the Democrats learn how to play hardball? I love this!!

All that's ever been necessary was to simply point out what the right wing was doing, and it sounds like the dems have finally figured it out. Repubs have always considered telling the truth "negative advertising", and Mitt and minions sound like whining little children. They're not getting their own way, they're not used to it, and they sure as hell don't like it. I'm waiting for him to stamp his feet and threaten to hold his breath.
