Reid campaign sinks lower yet; and this is a US senator?

  How unbelievable is this. How many of us have held ourselves to a higher standard in trying not to disappoint those who look up to us. How many of us, both in personal life and in work, try to maintain an honest, hardworking and sincere approach to the world around us. How many of us try to do the right thing, whether someone is watching or not.
  Apparently these niggling ideals don't struggle for space in Harry Reid's head. Harry Reid "The Undertaker" and the people who support him have made it clear that all they care about is maintaining power. We can make fun of people with REAL jobs who are not suckling the public teat, we can sabotage work efforts of the "small people" and we can buy off constituencies with 70 million dollar shooting ranges, thus purchasing the endorsements we need to stay attached to the teat.
  Reid's opponent is doing quite well out in Nevada; however Reid's behavior is quite revealing. 
  He set up a website pretending to be Sharron Angle, his opponent. From this website he solicited email addresses and information from Angle's supporters who wanted to donate to her campaign. 
  When this was discovered, he was forced to take it down through a cease and desist order, which set off all the liberals laughing at Angle because they say she wasn't willing to stand behind her original "wacky" stands on such things as doing away with the Department of Education. Those liberals didn't see any problem with Harry Reid "The Undertaker" misrepresenting himself with a fake website pretending to be Angle.
  Legal Insurrection has a rundown of the current complete events; reading it, one has to wonder how this man ever got into office, how he justifies his behavior when he looks in his undertaker mirror, and what else he does when no one is watching. Honestly, if he does this when people ARE watching, what does he do behind closed doors? Is there nothing too low? Does he have no principles? Is there anything he will not do to achieve his selfish ends?
  Is this the way a senator of the United States behaves? Clearly not. 
  And you wonder why we're all angry. Read it all here and marvel.

The Reid campaign was forced to take down the fake website because the Reid campaign was misleading the public, and also obtaining names and contact information on Angle supporters under false pretenses.
After the fake website was taken down, the web address "TheRealSharronAngle.com" was re-directed to a cheesy website supposedly run by the Nevada State Democratic Party (see below), titled "Sharon Angle's Underground Bunker."
The Reid campaign then scrubbed the fake website, and re-launched it in a manner which was less deceptive, including eliminating the forms for Angle supporters to provide names and e-mail addresses and to sign up to volunteer.
But an interesting thing happened after the Reid campaign scrubbed the fake Angle website. 
Now, the Disclaimer at the bottom claims that the website has no connection to the Reid campaign: "PAID FOR BY THE NEVADA STATE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. NOT AUTHORIZED BY ANY CANDIDATE OR CANDIDATE'S COMMITTEE."
