Barack Obama's victory last year left many Republicans bemoaning their party's ineptitude when it came to political exploitation of the Web. Democrats, they admitted, were far ahead in the art of using the Internet to seduce voters.

So Connecticut Republicans decided it was time to boldly forge into the 21st century, only to stumble when one of their decidedly deceptive experiments ran into trouble last week.

Twitter, Inc., shut down 33 fake Twitter accounts created by Republicans using the names of Democratic state representatives. The Republican scheme was to send out posts under the Democrats' names mocking the liberal tax-and-spend bastards.

3. They need to sue the Republicans for identity theft.

What they did was not "funny" and can not be considered a "prank". Identity theft pure and simple.

4. Yes, they wanted to learn to use the web to seduce voters -- naturally, they attempted to rape them.

Just a bit unclear on the concept. ;-)
