How desperate have Democrats become to keep their grip on power? Even some of their colleagues have become disgusted enough with their machinations to start speaking out in New Jersey’s 3rd CD, where John Adler faces a strong challenge from Republican Jon Runyan. According to sources within the party, the Courier Post reports that Adler backed a phony “Tea Party” independent candidate to split the conservative vote: Congressman John Adler’s campaign and the Camden County Democratic Committee recruited “”NJ Tea Party” candidate Peter DeStefano to confuse conservative voters and hurt Adler’s Republican challenger this fall, Democratic operatives say.

Wasn’t this Bill Clinton strategy-to put dummy people up in the Tea Party and cause confusion? This is the third or fourth time I’ve seen this so they must have implimented the plan.

Half the rats that retain their seats will have used this tactic to retain their seats.

It is a time tested political mechanism with high probability of success.

Nothing to see here.

The dems are experts in infiltration and splitting the votes. Just like 2008 with Kuckabee and McCain, then throwing them under the bus.

Nothing to see... Except redundant sentence structure and a double post.

I hate it when that happens.

Harry Reid was the first to come up with this in his race. It isn’t working to well were it is being tried. People know a phony when they see one.

It is modeled on Clintons strategy of propping up Perot because it would siphon off the right. Remember Clintons insistence that Perot got in all the debates and was givin every advantage?

Is it that the left knows they can’t win without underhanded tricks?

Or is it that they just can’t help themselves,
like their ideological father,
whose native language is lies,
and native demeanor is deception.

Deval Patrick is doing this by supporting “independent” Cahill for governor to take votes from Baker. But the voters are on to it; Cahill now has 1% of the vote.

Can you say “H. Ross Perot”? I knew you could!

There's not a shred of ethics left in the Democrap party. Whatever it takes to win no matter what. It's the Marxist way I guess.

There's not a single Dim in Washington that deserves to be left in office that I'm aware of. If there is, they'll be run out of the party.
