Politicians find ways to stoop to new lows. The newest one...

The Florida Democratic Party today said it made an "oversight" when it included Republican congressional challenger Allen West's Social Security number in an attack mailer.

New lows? You think this is lower than the Watergate scandal? The illegal invasion of Iraq? The torture of political prisoners?

Lets imagine for one second that this was done on purpose... What benefit could it possibly gain those who sent the flier out? Could it give him a political advantage?
Sorry, I see no possible upside. Looks like a bone head mistake, not some huge political ploy...

read the article... it was a copy of a lien notice with his personal information blacked out, but the field labeled "Identifying number" wasn't blacked out

and for the record, lien notices are public record anyway.

The new low is the same as the old low- Republican's marching out to announce a new pledge with America to lower your taxes and reduce spending. No mention what so ever of a budget discussion- what do we want for our money? Just crass emotional appeal to basic self interest. "We are gonna save you money and taxes!" Lets not talk about will you have a viable job, be healthy, and have the potential to lead a happy life for you and your children. What they don't want to talk about is their myopic infatuation with the wealthy and preserving the no shit good life for the smallest of percentage of citizens.

And as Tim indicated this was probably a mistake, and since you started this thread describing it as a "new low", what motivation do you think the dastardly Democratic party had for publishing someones social security number?

​

I think Republicans have done a much better job echoing the party talking points for each day.
