Is That the Best You Can Do?

After yesterday's Sunday shows and a recent ad, it looks like Democrats are going with the narrative that Republicans and groups allied with them are accepting illegal/foreign campaign donations. Bob Scheiffer on CBS's Face the Nation, seeing the sketchiness of this, even went so far as to ask, "Is that the best you can do?" Since these accusations, which have turned out to be unsubstantiated and are lacking in reliable sources, Karl Rove and Ed Gillespie have fired back.

While good to see them defending themselves, I think they, along with others in the Republican Party, need to remind Americans about past practices of Obama and the Democrats. Very little coverage has been done on the untraceable pre-paid credit card donations given to the 2008 Obama Presidential Campaign. Furthermore, Al Gore was famous (or infamous) for his questionable behavior in soliciting campaign funds during 1990s, whether meeting in Buddhist temples and claiming there is "No controlling legal authority" to soliciting campaign funds in Federal Government Offices.

So if Democrats want to go down this path, I welcome it and think Republicans need to examine them, as Republicans have more on Democrat past discretions, than do the Democrats to back up these accusations.
