Another great example of repub tactics.

Ten days after the May 3 election, the chairman of the Lancaster County Republican Party sent an e-mail to ousted City Councilman Terry Werner in which he taunted Werner for losing his council seat and said, "having a private eye follow you was a joy."

Haga's e-mail read, in part: "Let this be a wakeup call to you. The voters of Lincoln wisely rejected your socialist agenda. If needed, we could have addressed your driving record (having a private eye follow you was a joy), ... and more. Had you been a good Democrat and not a socialist, you might have been re-elected."

Chairman Jim Haga acknowledged to a reporter Tuesday he wrote the e-mail "in anger" but said he regretted it. Haga declined to comment on whether he hired an investigator, saying, "I'm not going to address that ... To me it's not even a news story."

1. And stupidity.

If you are going to do something ilegal/unethical/whatever, you probably don't want to admit to it in an email that will definitely wind up in the hands of the media.

2. I think it is a combination of stupidity & ego.

I think repubs believe they will never be held responsible for their actions. Of course they usually aren't.

3. Probably elected on a Diebold system...No surprise here.

4. "Anger" Why was he angry?????

He got what he wanted, so why did he write an email in "anger". Just another lie from the party of liars.
