The flavor of the GOP is hatred and lies these days. And the formerly moderate members of that one-time major political party sit by quivering as the lunatics run the show. And even worse they have managed to seep into every level of government in acquiescing to the craziness.
Case in point, the runoff election for ABQ's new Mayor. dan lewis has partaken of the fringe flavored Kool-Aid in trying to paint Tim Keller as a supporter of rapists in the new Lewis TV Commercial. I just saw that piece of political fear mongering, and any respect for I had for lewis is gone. I had at one time thought he was a moderate man until the GOP/religious fundamentalism reared its ugly presence and took his decency.
I am hopeful we can prove that this hateful kind of campaigning doesn't work any longer. But, it will have an effect on many voters who are scared of their own shadows these days. So, getting out the vote is really important in this low turnout election.

I thought it was lewis!
The pro-Lewis ads are ugly and will have an affect on certain voters. So, yes, I wish Brian Colon and Gus Perotty would endorse Keller so their voters would go vote for Keller. We cannot underestimate Lewis.
