A quick flip through the classified ad section of the Stuart News, one of the TCPalm family of newspapers, reveals an interesting job listing (see right; click for larger image).
That's right -- Congressman Tim Mahoney (D-FL), offering people money to support his candidacy.
If that doesn't send the signal that this one-term incumbent who beat the disgraced Mark Foley's name in 2006 is secure in his support and reelection chances, well, I don't rightly know what does.
Wait -- I just thought of something. Not having to pay people off the street to tell people to vote for you -- *that* might send a better signal about security of suppport and reelection chances.
You think?
I think we have hit an all time moral low in this country. This is one way of exploiting those who are cash strapped to market a man they possibly have no interest in. This is wrong because this method may get a person elected into office who will not be the better candidate for the job of leading.
What an individual believes in should be his cause, not the incentive of money provided by a politician, this is gross.
