That's been a tactic for years, from both R's and D's. Runyan's problems stem from the fact that he has run a poor campaign.

So you were just as outraged when Republicans recruited homeless people to run as Greens in AZ in order to hurt Democrats, right?

You saw it as underhanded desperation then too, right?

You were just as surprised then, right?

You trying to say that Democrats are too stupid to know who they're voting for in their own primary? :DL

Don't confuse him. Without a party line to spout he's pretty much lost... :)

I keep waiting for the day when some of you finally acknowledge that both parties are just one side of the same scummy coin pulled from the bottom of a septic tank. Heads or tails, it's still gonna stink like ****.

All crap like that bothers me. A few years back, Dems were handing out cigarettes to the homeless to get them to the polls here in Milwaukee.

All of those dirty tactics should be considered outrageous by all, and the people who perpetuate them should be scorned by the more serious candidates.

Agreed. Just pointing out the hypocrisy, that's all.

Well, I could try to explain, but you're from Texas, so you probably wouldn't understand even if I DID use single syllable words.

Don't put words in my mouth.

(Gosh, if only there were a concept which could describe what you just did!!!)

That's just rude.

You're just saying that in a desperatly pathetic (pathetically desperate?) attempt to blind me to your party affiliation. Such underhanded subterfuge won't work on me! I don't belong to a party or take sides, but your side is a bunch of moronic losers!

Which side are you on, anyway? :O::D
