Are the Democrats Wising Up?

I found the following excerpt from a negative political campaign leaflet on Echidne's Blog:

Sounds nasty, doesn't it? However, there is one thing you need to know. Rose Ferlita is a Conservative candidate and the leaflet was sponsored by a Democrat. 

I think it's great that finally there are some Democrats who are willing to give the Conservatives a taste of their own medicine. We've seen enough abstinence pushers whose children give birth in junior high. Promoters of family values who serve their wives with divorce papers on a hospital bed. Gay bashers who get caught with teenage male prostitutes. Let's make the Republicans live up to their avowed beliefs. If you keep preaching about family values, you better uphold them in your own life. If you are a woman who runs from a party that is in the habit of condemning female Hispanic judges as temperamentally unsuited for public office, be prepared to be judged according to the same standards.

Finally, there is a Democrat who is not afraid to make the Republicans confront their profound hypocrisy.
