Hayworth's integrity slipping further

I've referred to this before, but it does appear that J.D. Hayworth is using his congressional staff to campaign for him. That's a big no-no. Congressional staff are paid for by taxpayers' money. If an incumbent wants to campaign - dig and dish dirt at his opposing candidates, make campaign speeches, send campaign emails, etc. - he has to use staff paid for by his campaign funds.

That's the law, as well as being the mark of a man of integrity.

Mister T. at Wactivist draws attention to Tedski's post breaking the story on Rum, Romanism, and Rebellion about a Hayworth staffer who appears to be breaking the law.

A photo shows someone who appears to be Todd Sommers, a legislative assistant to Rep. J. D. Hayworth, hanging out at Mitchell's recent campaign launch. Note that this launch was on a Wednesday morning, during business hours. Tedski says that others have reportedly seen Todd at Tempe City Hall doing research on Mitchell's tenure as Mayor of Tempe, too.

Thus, evidence of what appears to be corruption by a Hayworth campaigner...er...congressional staffer. It looks like Hayworth's idea of campaigning is so dirty that it may even break the law.

J.D. Hayworth, looks like you boys got some 'splainin' to do!
