Republicans caught using spy glasses at Schauer campaign fundraiser

Detroit — For the third time this year, Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mark Schauer is accusing Republicans of attempting to spy on his campaign.

But this time, the suspected political subterfuge involves a high-tech hidden camera and a video memory disk that fell into the hands of Democrats.

And Republicans are defending their campaign snooping.

Schauer’s campaign and Oakland County Democrats recently came into possession of a tiny disk containing raw video footage of a young woman and man who secretly recorded a Schauer campaign fundraiser June 22 at a private home in Bloomfield Hills...

so they're talking about laying low for one campaign, but are planning to do others. Little O'Keefe wannabees. Slimy little fucks can't win fair, cheating is ok with them. Stay classy, kids. ugh.

This just makes me want to give another hundred to Schauer's campaign. I hope his people are smart enough to get some traction with this.

wonder if the repubs were hoping for a "gotcha" like we did with Romney. He really lost on that one..

Dissing the decor of the house? This is how petty these pathetic little piss-ants are.

Oh, there you go TeaPublicans, the party of Jesus being so Jesus-like, by SPYING.

These two little piss-ants are a JOKE. (Hear them saying "I think they're onto us... Are they stalking my Twitter?...Oh shit... better lay low for awhile...) bwahahaha... silly little RePug piss-ants.

Also into home furnishings that really should match. (Read with voice pitch rising.) Hee, hee, hee. Really outrageous how some people have eclectic taste. Hey. sort of 80s or something. Hee, hee, hee.

Natalie feels herself to be very clever and above it all.

And "that lady" probably was on to them. "That lady" looked pretty smart.

Wonder why Natalie didn't remember "that lady's" name?

She seemed to notice everyone else's name.

And with staff like Republicans win elections???

How is that possible?

And why would they waste their time going to a minor fundraising event like that? What in the world would a real Democrat say that would embarrass them politically?

That's ridiculous.
