Wow, can they be anymore unethical?

Dems picked spoiler candidate | courierpostonline.com | Courier-Post

"Internal numbers-crunching showed the difference between Adler and his Republican opponent -- then undetermined -- would hover around 5 percent. To give Adler an edge, Ayscue had recruited a then-unidentified man to run as a third-party candidate.
That candidate would act as a conservative spoiler to confuse voters and pull votes from Adler's eventual Republican challenger. But first he had to get on the ballot. With the filing deadline just weeks away, CCDC needed volunteers to hit the streets and collect signatures -- fast."

Sadly, the answer to your question is YES. There is no level the Dems will stoop to and being unethical is par for the course. And they are very quick to cry "wolf" in order to take the spotlight away from their bad actions. What a sad state our country is in!

Of course the GOP would never stoop to such a thing, eh?

Face it, politics is a DIRTY, unethical, business on BOTH sides of the aisle.

This is just right wing sour grapes over not having hatched a similar plan first.

Consider yourself lucky. I've posted links to the West VA ad which hired professional actors to portray "Hickey" west virginians twice and some MOD takes it out immediately!

Are you young or just have a tunnel-visioned short memory?

You do know the ONLY POTUS to resign the office did so because of dirty campaign tactics, eh?

And here's a clue: HE WAS NOT A DEMOCRAT!

Try opening your eyes, there's been crap on both sides of the campaign trail for many, many years.

We had something similar go on here in Texas with our Governor's race.
Some out of state company collected signatures and "gave" them to the Socialist Party to get their guy on the ballot. The Socialist Party never initiated this petition drive.

Tsk, tsk, tsk you have have to go back 40 years to find a Republican example? The Modern day Democrat party is a disgrace. From Thugs threatening voters in Philadelphia to Mickey Mouse donating to Obama, to ACORN voter fraud. Now this, a phony candidate to intentionally try to confuse voters.

I ask you to point out and instance of Republicans intentionally putting up a third party candidate in order to confuse voters, and you can't. Because the Democrat party has reached new lows. the will pay in November.

Beck played a video of George Soros explaining how to do just this, and that was about a year ago.
I see there is evidence, the plan has been put into action.

Makes you wonder if Soros is funding Crist in Florida and the Alaska privileged.

Gotta love the left, they excuse their own party's behavior with "everybody" does it. No outrage, no embarassment, no wonder the Democrat party is in the condition it is in. It's own members don't demand ethical behavior from it.
