1. If there's any truth to this, it's wrong.

4. Why is it wrong?

I thought the Tea Party was open to people of all political persuasions. I didn't know there was a rule that you had to walk in lock step with the Republican Party in order to be a tea bagger.

6. We need to run our platform, not win by trickery. Besides,

if we do stuff like this, who are we to complain when the Republicans use dirty tricks to take office ( I won't say win office.)?

8. Yes it's wrong.

2. More drivel from AP. This is nothing more than AP giving legitimacy to BS GOP claims.

"My opponent, John Adler, represents everything that is wrong with politics in our country today," Republican Jon Runyan said. "I would ask for an apology. But frankly, an apology from someone like Congressman Adler would be so meaningless that it's not worth seeking."

He spoke at a news conference Friday as Adler, a first-term Democratic lawmaker, and his campaign remained mum about a report in the Courier-Post of Cherry Hill in which Democratic operatives speaking on the condition of anonymity confirmed what Republicans have believed for months: That tea-party candidate Peter DeStefano was put on the ballot by Democrats.

What garbage.

3. But...

If you like this kind of politics wouldn't it be better for the story to surface AFTER the election... Who will now actually be helped by this? Or was this a previous election, maybe I misread the story.

5. So this Runyan guy, he's in bad shape? nt

7. Runyans an idiot, Adler is a pandering sleazeball conservadem

who sent out anti- HCR flyers that would have made a teabagger proud.To say I'm not fired up about voting would be an understatement.
