Senate Republican Leader Fitzgerald Loves Running Fake Democratic Candidates in Elections.

The biggest ass%*e in the state of Wisconsin Sen. Scott Fitzgerald, not surprisingly, likes the whole fake candidate thing. 

jsonline: Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald fully endorsed the idea Tuesday of fielding fake Democrats in recall elections against Republicans in an effort to delay the general elections. "It gives us another month to campaign," said the Republican from Juneau.

Devoid of any hint that it might be unethical, dirty pool or election fraud, Fitzgerald went further:

"I think the cynicism comes from the recalls," Fitzgearld said. "Recalling senators for taking a tough vote is just wrong." He also said holding the recall elections were costly for taxpayers.

But running fake candidates, Fitzgerald failed to mention, would add to the taxpayer costs as well. He also conveniently forgot it took quite a few signatures of unhappy constituents to hold a recall election. But what "the people" think is inconsequential. Republicans also wrongly insist they got the idea from a dirty trick instigated by the Democratic Party:

A fake Republican ran in an attempt to split the vote between him and Ziegelbauer, giving the Democrat a chance to take the seat. The move didn't work, and Ziegelbauer kept his seat.

Mark Jefferson, the state Republican Party executive director at the time, called that move a "nasty, cynical ploy."

But as luck would have it;

Democratic Party Chairman Mike Tate said his party had no role in recruiting the fake Republican candidate.

It's just wrong to run fake candidates. It's crazy we're even talking about this. And what's even more insane, is the fact that conservative voters would allow their politicians to prank the whole idea of our representative government with phonies.
