BRADLEY ADMITS HE'S OPEN TO ALL TACTICS, LEGAL OR NOT

"This will be a tough campaign and I'm willing to do whatever it takes to win..." Jeb Bradley, Sept 16th 2008, Fundraising Letter

BRADLEY ADMITS HE'S OPEN TO ALL TACTICS, LEGAL OR NOT

(MANCHESTER) There is mounting evidence showing that Jeb Bradley will stop at nothing to win, even if it means resorting to dirty or illegal tactics. In a recent fundraising mailer sent by his campaign and signed by himself, Bradley admitted that he will "do whatever it takes to win..."

Just 24 hours after Bradley launched an attack on Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter distorting her record and failing to comply with federal election law, there are reports of a misleading and negative poll being conducted.

Numerous voters in the first congressional district have contacted the New Hampshire Democratic Party to complain. "I call on whatever candidate, campaign or organization that is behind these misleading calls to cease immediately," said Raymond Buckley, chair of the New Hampshire Democratic Party. "If this is a push-poll, it is an illegal tactic that has no place in New Hampshire politics."

"In a September 16th fundraising letter, candidate Jeb Bradley wrote that, 'This will be a tough campaign and I'm willing to do whatever it takes to win,'" continued Buckley.  "I certainly hope that 'whatever it takes' does not include illegal push-polling. Jeb Bradley is running a campaign that is far outside the New Hampshire tradition that values honesty and integrity."

Well, if it were a race and one runner tried to trip the others up, (0.00 / 0)
that person would be disqualified.  That this doesn't happen in an election is more evidence that it's not a contest, it's an employment application.

So, if one of the applicants demonstrates that he doesn't have the qualifications for the job, it's our responsibility to let that be known.  Spreading false rumors should be a major disqualification.  We've had enough lying from Republicans to last a life-time.


BTW, telling lies about what other people did or said (4.00 / 1)
is a clever strategy.  Because, when you're found out, you can always say you made a mistake.  BUT YOUR INTENTIONS WERE GOOD.

It doesn't work quite so well when statements are in writing, as the McCain campaign found out in responding to the NYTimes story about the $15,000 retainer for Davis' company for doing nothing.
