[arenean]

More skullduggery from the republicans.....

Two young Arizona Republicans tried to make a donation to a Democratic congressman as members of the Communist party in an apparent attempt to tie him to the far left.

1. If you can't win fairly, turn to the "dirty tricks".

I recognize that there are dirty tactics on both sides, but only one side brags about it. Only one side is totally dependent on voter suppression and disenfranchisement to win. Only one side is willing to burn down the house to maintain power.

7. Lindsay Coleman should have brought Five-O with her to arrest the criminals.

Lindsay Coleman, the finance director for the campaign, then drove to the local Republican field office to return the money. Almost immediately, the man who identified himself as Rosales appeared from a room inside the office and was identified as Oscar. He accepted the money from Coleman.

Speaking to the Guardian, Coleman identified the second man as a field organizer for the Arizona Republican party and said Ahmahd Sadia was not his real name. Neither the Arizona Republican party nor Wendy Rogers, O’Halleran’s Republican opponent for Congress, responded to requests for comment.

Making federal campaign contributions under a false identity is a crime.

Perhaps they should have asked for Student ID before accepting the money though.
