So, anyone keeping up with Alan Grayson's race in Florida. Seems he has lowered the bar on negative campaigning.
Alan Grayson, Outspoken Florida Congressman, Could Be in Trouble<http://www.newsweek.com/blogs/the-gaggle/2010/09/29/alan-grayson-outspoken-florida-congressman-could-be-in-trouble.html> Some of the things he has done seem to the point where they may be actionable. One has to ask oneself, what is about a 2 or 6 year job that makes it so valuable that a candidate will stoop to doctored videos and outright lying to win a race, forsaking all integrity for the office and process. Same thing for losing in the primary and then running as a third party or write in candidate. This is particularly galling since the candidate lost in a vote by the people and yet somehow thinks they will miraculously be able to win. Notice that it is the career politicians and incumbents who seem to do this the most. Must be more to the job than the salary. J - A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:328145 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
