Shameful!

Quote:

A Democratic researcher pleaded guilty yesterday to misrepresenting herself on a Web site as Michael S. Steele, Maryland's lieutenant governor and a Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate, and fraudulently obtaining his credit report last summer.

Under a plea agreement reached with prosecutors, the misdemeanor charge against Lauren B. Weiner, a former staff member of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, could be dropped in a year if she completes 150 hours of community service and commits no other offenses.

E. Mark Braden, who attended the hearing in U.S. District Court in Washington, said a "statement of the offense" released yesterday contains several troubling details about the episode, including Weiner's use of a committee credit card to access Steele's report over the Internet.

You know what Mike, this is just the type of negative publicity that the Democratic party needs at a time like this. Democrats should be embracing the fact that the President is riding his LOWEST opinion rating in 6 years, mostly due to the mishandling of the war in Iraq. Rebublicans are on the run! Tom Delay, John Ambroff!! Need I say more? There is no need for dirty tactics like this, and quite frankly she should be be ashamed.

Yet, Hillary Clinton looses to almost every future Republican Presidential hopeful (Guliani, Romney, and McCain).

Since when does approval rating mean anything? I remember Democrats talking about Bush's low approval rating during the 2004 election. They said, "No president can win with a 45% approval rating." Well, Bush got a higher percentage of the vote than Bill Clinton ever did. When the Democratic party moves away from the Kennedy, Clintons, Kerrys, and other left-wingers, then they may have a chance. But until then they will continue to be the minority party.
