They WANT to turn you off. They want you to be apathetic. It's called voter supression, and Rove is a master of it.
And keep in mind, "Democrat" Miller gave not inconsequential sums to GOP legislators in recent years:
Webb has responded to Miller's attacks on his Democratic credentials by pointing out that Miller has contributed to the campaigns of a handful of Republican congressional candidates, including House of Representatives Speaker Dennis Hastert. Miller made the contributions while serving as ITAA's president. http://www.roanoke.com/politics/wb/wb/xp-66620"Why did you donate money to Dennis Hastert? I've never given money to a Republican in my life," Webb said.
Miller acknowledged giving several thousand dollars to Hastert and Spencer Abraham, a former U.S. senator who lost his reelection bid in 2000 and went on to serve as energy secretary during Bush's first term. He told reporters later that the board of directors of the Information Technology Association of America, where he was the chief lobbyist at the time, strongly urged him to contribute to Republican candidates.
"They said I had to be bipartisan in my giving," Miller said of his former employer. "Two or three, I can't remember, board members said to me on separate occasions, 'Harris, you were very visible supporting the Democratic candidates in the 2000 election. This is a bipartisan organization. We would suggest very strongly that you try to be more bipartisan in your personal giving.' "
Webb's campaign later pounced on those comments, saying it was an excuse for contributing to Republicans that only a former lobbyist could love. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/05/19/AR2006051900799.html
