I had to shrink it down a bit to get it to fit on the page, but I think you can see the disclosure information on this mailer that appears to tout little-known “Tea Party” candidate Roly Arrojo in Florida’s 25th congressional district: “Paid for by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. . . . Not authorized by any candidate or candidate’s committee.”
All right, Democrats. You want to play this way? We can play this way.
You thought American Crossroads and those groups were a pain this year? Wait until they do everything they can to promote Green Party candidates in key races in 2012. Let a thousand Ralph Naders bloom.
UPDATE: A couple of folks asked to see the other side of the mailer:
Is this guy pathetic or what? It is such a joy to live in this district. He was outed as a fake long ago and still they try to fool people. This was supposed to split up the Collier County vote (we have strong turnouts for "tea party" events) which is what helps give a Republican Lean to the district as Republican registration outnumbers Democrat registration by about two to one (last time I checked) and the No Party Affiliations trend conservative/libertarian.
They actually think we are too stupid to notice (sigh).
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseI received three of these, in the course of a week, in the VA-5. Each focused on Jeffrey Clark - the "tea party" candidate. Each was paid for by the Democratic Campaign Congressional Committee.
* The front of the first says "Immigration is an American Value."
* The front of the second says "Our government is taking bold action to rebuild America's economy."
* The front of the third says "Jeffrey Clark has dangerous plans for America's future."
Unfortunately, for the DCCC, Rep. Perriello negated this mail blitz by hosting Pres. Obama in Charlottesville this evening.
