Boehner's Weapon For November: Set Up Democratic Straw Men To Knock Down

The names may change, but the strategy remains the same.

When John Boehner (R-OH) replaced the disgraced Tom DeLay (R-TX) as House Majority Leader, the spin was that Boehner offered "a fresh alternative to a House GOP leadership team sullied by lobbying scandals." Boehner himself told NBC's Tim Russert after his ascension: "Tom and I have a different approaches."

But with polls showing the Democrats' chance of regaining control of the House improving, it seems Boehner has resolved to turn to a bag of tricks that would make DeLay proud.

2. Well come ON

You can't expect them to run on the issues or their dismal record, can you? If you take away character assassination, the GOP's got nothin' left!
