Republicans feel winds of change in Wisconson and decide to cheat?

Not feeling that they could win the recall elections, Republicans in Wisconsin contemplate running a shill candidate against Democrat Jennifer Shcilling. Oh and for the bonus, they record the meeting in which they discuss it.

Here's the news story:

And for the win the tape on the Ed Show, hosted by Al Sharpton:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/43261855#4...

Are they so desperate to maintain power, that they will resort to cheating, to split the votes and pull out the win? Also, did Faux News cover this at all?

Update:

So you guys are saying 2 wrongs make a right? How about proof? Otherwise, you guys are just playerhatin'

Update 2:

crg> You do realize that the story was broken at the local level and that Al Sharpton is just a fill in?

Being realistic this is about integrity. Trying to get a schill to split the vote may not be illegal, but is this what the people who run on family values and thump the Bible at the rest of the people who don't agree with their views resort to? Come on man.

    its not cheating...lets not be petty...this is intended to assure voters a chance to vote in a primary in a run off if the prior candidates were unacceptable...

    i really don't see Kapanke and the otherr republicans getting off the hook for what they've attempted in wisconsin...

    even if they do manage to find a "shill" candidate....

    this is good...the longer it stays in the public eye...the more focused people will be by being reminded over a longer period of time about just how bad these guys are...

    its very good for dems IMO>>>>

    VERY good

    If 'failure' is measured by ability of approval rankings and those rankings mirror 'awful issues', then you definately might desire to be rather disillusioned by ability of your democratic congress. And yet, in spite of that actuality, utilising your person good judgment, why might we EVER prefer a democrat for president? yet to respond to your question, yeah, i'm disillusioned. This president and the Republican congress that grew to become into fired by ability of the american human beings have been a great sadness. President Bush and those 'Republicans' spent like drunken democrats and created between the biggest new entitlements in historic previous. They co-opted enormously much each and every democratic (liberal) social initiative that got here down the pike. final analysis, we've had a democrat-lite as President for the final 7 years. genuine Republicans are actually finding for a sparkling decision. a real conservative. because of the fact we've considered what a quasi-democrat can do and we are actually not satisfied approximately it. Why interior the international might we make a choice from the uber-liberal 'demos' that your camp has to grant? Gawd save usa of america from this form of destiny. replace: do not you adult adult males lose interest of utilising Republicans as an excuse? They under no circumstances had a great majority the two. yet they did introduce legislations that grew to become into ideal to democrats...it is why we are interior the placement we are in now. do not you recognize that if the democrats did something well worth that is weight in methane that the Republicans or perhaps the president might help it. the american human beings might call for it. as that is, i've got under no circumstances considered such an out cry from the american human beings against congresses efforts. undergo in suggestions the Amnesty for Illegals invoice? The president might have signed that, yet even the democrats subsidized down from that piece of crap while the american human beings just about revolted. So please, provide up the motives and face certainty.

    Funny you should mention power hungry politicians. Back in the '08 election I recall every single media source and big business (except Fox News) idolizing Obama, forcing him down everyone's throat. Now why would the businesses and media put Obama on a pedestal and pretty much force feed the American people this? They want him in power, or at least a democrat. It's no coincidence that his first order of business was to issue all of these bailouts, he is bailing out USPS, a government mandated monopoly! How can they possible need a bailout?? Open your eyes fool.

    By the way "Faux News" was a name coined by Obama and the democrats to squash the one news station that dared to defy the left wing political machine. After Obama was voted in, he personally attacked Fox News to discredit them. Funny how he moved to silence the one station that didn't make him into a god.

    Want to talk about crooked elections? Hey we are headed for another one in 2012. Do you notice that any time a possible Republican candidate steps out that everyone is so quick to stomp them? But the democratic candidates get nothing but praise. Strange huh? But you're right, the Republicans are the crooked ones...

    ^ that last bit was sarcasm in case your tiny democrat mind couldn't comprehend that.

    By the way, I agree with the other poster, omit Sharpton. He is a rampaging racist moron of the highest caliber. He can only discredit any logical answer or argument.

    Give them a break. They are on a learning curve.

    They are attempting to do an Obama.

    Here's the VIDEO of the last election where votes were stolen by Obama ON TAPE.

    If you want to be taken seriously, then omit Al Sharpton as some basis to your point. I would have answered your question, if Homer Simpson was hosting the Ed show.....,Im mean..Please......really?

    Well, as much as I despise the Wisconsin leadership (I live there) what they're doing isn't actually cheating. Dishonest? Sure. Underhanded? Sure, but perfectly legal and legitimate.
