Progressive Policy Council --- NOT

Like many Pennsylvania voters I received a flyer in the mail from the Progressive Policy Council telling me that there isn't much difference between Rick Santorum and Bob Casey, specifically on gay marriage. There was even a photo of a wedding cake with an interracial gay couple on top. Mr. J and I looked at it for awhile trying to figure out what it was all about. Attytood pointed towards a TPMmuckraker post that spells out the details. The Progressive Policy Council was started by someone who worked on the Bush Cheney campaign. So, it's really a "if there's not difference why not vote for Santorum" flyer. Hmmm, I don't think so, folks, nice try, though.

A dirty trick to try to convince progressives not to bother voting. But of course no mention that Democratic control of the Senate will be infinitely better for progressives. Partially the give away on the mailing was the Arlington, VA return address!
