All In The Game

By Kleinheider Posted on August 24, 2008 at 9:08 pm

The TNGOP chides Jimmy Naifeh for asserting that dropping a “poison packet” including allegedly expunged records in the mail to a candidate’s wife is just “part of a campaign”:

Question: What exactly is the beef with what Jimmy Naifeh is saying here? Are Republicans saying that they have never used opposition research to intimidate a candidate out of the race? That they wouldn’t if they could? If the Democrats indeed came by the info honestly, as they say they did, what is the problem?

Jimmy Naifeh’s suggestion that this is “just part of a campaign” is based on a certain set of facts he subscribes to — that Keith Talley, Democratic operative, got the records from the Wilson County Courthouse and then dropped them on Jason Mumpower’s desk.

Assuming Naifeh’s assumptions, not the TNGOP’s, does he not have a point?

    There’s nothing funnier than seeing Republicans campaign on ethics…

    I dunno . . . Democrats trying to haymake over 9/11 and national security is rib tickling good.

    Frankly, Talley should sue Hobbs for libel. Produce your evidence, Hobbs, that this guy entered “locked” offices. He says he didn’t.

    And don’t give me that Mumpower crap about their being four staffers in his office. Everyone knows you can walk in the legislature this time of year and most of the offices - including Mumpower’s - will be empty.

    And answer the real question - the one that you are trying to obscure:

    Why did A.J. McCall attempt to abduct a woman in a WalMart parking lot in the middle of the night in 1990?

    So Mumpower gets to just make shit up and it’s now the story — while actual police reports are ignored. Nice.

    This is just blatant dishonesty by the Republicans. Instead of making McCall answer the very serious questions facing him, they’re trying to deflect attention. McCall needs to come clean.
