1. Phone jamming, 2002
2. NRCC voter phone jamming, 2006
3. Anonymous postcards attacking Gordon Humphrey's wife in the Republican primary, 2000
4. Phoney PAC doctoring quotes and attacking Democratic senate candidates, 2000.
5. Failure of Daniel Webster PAC to comply with NH registration and filing laws, 2008 - oops, that was Sununu's own PAC, he probably doesn't think that was wrong.

And then there is the disgraceful behavior of Republican operatives;

1. The smear phone calls in the South Carolina presidential primary, 2000
2. The ugly anti-Max Cleland ads, 2002
3. The riot by Republcian operatives to stop the recount in Florida, 2000
4. The "caging" being conducted to try to stop people from voting inMichigan and other states.
5. Any one of a number of efforts to suppress the vote in election after election across the country.
6. Ted Stevens plundering the federal treasury for his friends and cronies while Sununu twiddled his thumbs.
7. Willie Horton?

I could go on.
   

The worst thing he has ever seen in politics? A tv ad criticizing poor John E. Sununu for his efforts to privatize social security, and linking Sununu to George W. Bush:

Sununu complained that an ad about Social Security by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee that shows Bush's face morphing into Sununu's "one of the worst things I've seen in politics." Sen. Chuck Schumer, of New York, who leads the committee, is laying out huge sums, Sununu said, "and he is using that $10 million to scare senior citizens."

Sununu said the recent upheaval in the stock market doesn't change his support for creating private accounts within Social Security.

John "It's All About ME" Sununu, finds the worst thing in politics to be an ad telling the truth about Sununu's position on social security.  No wonder he still hasn't shown any outrage about phone jamming, or any of the other outrages committed by Republicans who seem to think that the biggest tool in their arsenal is a series of efforts to suppress, scare, intimidate and interfere with the right to vote.

No, Senator*, that ad isn't what scares voters. What scares voters is how out of touch you are with your constituents. Wrong on Iraq, wrong on the economy, wrong on choice, wrong on the environment, wrong on energy.  

People are losing their homes, their jobs, their pension plans, their health care because of the failures of the Bush/Sununu years - and Senator* Sununu is whining about a political ad.

There is really nothing else to say, is there?
