National Republican Congressional Campaign using fake Democrat websites to lure voters
CNN ^ | 2/6/2014 | Drew Griffin

(CNN) – A warning this election season: If you are searching the Web for information on Democratic congressional candidates, read the fine print.

At least 15 websites that appear to be official campaign sites for Democratic candidates, are actually the handiwork of the National Republican Congressional Committee.

In an effort to improve their online efforts this election season, the NRCC’s digital team came up with what the group believes is a great idea: get out the Republican message through fake Democrat sites.

“The idea is people who are looking for information on the candidate, one of the places we all go now is online and so this is a way for folks to find out more about the candidates and information they may not find on the candidate’s own site,” said Daniel Scarpinato, the NRCC's press secretary.

The NRCC bought up hundreds of URLs on potential weak Democratic candidates and created sites that mimic the real ones.

It may sound deceiving, but Scarpinato insists the well-thought out, well-planned program is pure genius.

If the Democrats are dishonest, we too should be dishonest.

So, we should fight fire with fire, fight dishonesty with dishonesty, and fight stupidity with stupidity.

Yep. Makes a lot of sense to me.

You people are whacked. The next time we lose an election, we’ll have no right to complain.

We lost the LAST election because of democrat FRAUD, not because conservatives didn’t want to vote for Romney—the commies bussed in Somalians to vote in Michigan (or some where up north) and Soros (who should be in prison) bought Secretaries of State—it doesn’t matter who VOTES, but who COUNTS the vote, and NOW the commies want electronic voting!!!! RIPE for fraud.

I went to the DMV today and had to give them everything BUT my first-born male child and a blood sample to RENEW a damned driver’s license! And YET, commies complain about photo IDs to VOTE!!! Somehow, it’s “racist”.

I support using commie techniques to SAVE this country from commies.

Enjoy your future in a third world, moslem controlled country, stolen by a foreign usurper who uses our own judicial system against us because he is ALLOWED by those he threatens to circumvent it by installing leftist judges who do his bidding.

I, for one, will use their tactics against THEM because we have NO help via the DOJ or “representation” in DC-—and then, hopefully, we can return to justice for ALL.

What do YOU suggest?

In case you haven’t noticed, when the Left pulls this crap, they get away with it. When we do it, we get busted - thanks to the hypocrisy of the MSM.

Good for them. It’s about time they adopted some of the same tactics as their opponents. Now . . to fund a diversion candidate who will bleed off some of the support for the Dem candidate.

I have no problem with this. It's about time the Pubbies started fighting fire with fire.

I was going to say the same thing. I just wish the Pubbies would get even more down and dirty with the rat bastards. I have such a deep seated hatred for these ass hats, that I think we can't get dirty enough.

This should work, assuming low information pukes actually surf the internet actively.

But that's a big assumption. More likely is that most are couch potatoes.

“Yet Dems infiltrate Tea Party rallies and bring out their bogus signs and its the first thing the media reports on..never the fact that the people with those signs are paid plants”

When a plant is discovered they should be doused with paint.

My actual preference is to shoot them, but that causes more shooting wars, and well, Obama would like that.

Let them explain the paint to the media.

Just a thought.

I'd suggest the tendency for our side to shoot their own allies when they actually make an effort to win is more a reason for our constant losing.

Maybe you should visit the site provided as an example before you start calling other people names. If thats what "standup" republicans call "dishonest" then its no wonder why we lose.

They should post pics with Dems holding guns,too.

Like Di-Fi pointing one at people with her finger on the trigger or Shmuch Schumer shooting with a maniacal smile on his face.

That would have the CNN folks wetting their panties.
