The headline says it all. Facing Super PACs, thanks to the Citizens United Supreme Court case that leveled the playing field that labor unions once owned, Democrats are using familiar tactics in preparation for the 2012 election. The scapegoat continues to be the Citizens United case, as Democratic front groups blame what they perceive as a disadvantage for this fall. But that's not stopping billionaire and puppet master George Soros from donating millions to election causes, outside of the advocacy groups that he funds, including the Tides Foundation, Center for American Progress and Media Matters. Instead of running negative attack ads, Democrats are focusing on voter registration. Translation: buying votes.
