People go on Craigslist to find futons,Save Jerseyans, not political campaign volunteers. Unless you’re NJ-03 Democrat nominee Aimee Belgard? Or whoever posted this solicitation on Craiglist on Thursday evening?
The best part? Hours later, someone changed the ad to something non-Belgard specific, and re-associated the solicitation with the state party, not her campaign:
Hmmm…
So who is paying whom to troll for votes in Ocean?
And is anyone embarrassed that they’ve resorted to THIS to find help with less than four weeks left to go?
Questions abound… but I can tell you this much: this isn’t the kind of thing you do when you’re leading.
If you check the ad out now, the logo is gone. Seems someone removed it a few hours ago. Talk about embarrassing.
Edit, you caught it too.
I can’t stop laughing about this.
I notice the Monmouth County Dems have similar ads up on the Jersey Shore Craigslist, looking for paid people. Maybe I should sign on, take their money and dump their stuff. http://jerseyshore.craigslist.org/search/jjj?query=canvassing%20for%20&sort=rel
How is it embarrassing to use a helpful tool in order to reach more people within your community? If anything, it’s good thinking. When you’re trying to win an election, you should leave no stone unturned and utilize every weapon at your disposal.
We can’t all be rich insurance hucksters, you know?
Wow
Creepy…
@ Justin – It’s embarrassing because if you have to pay people, you don’t have enough people willing to believe in your vision enough to volunteer.
Yeah we can also be huckster attorneys that defend insurance companies, Justin Jerkoff Rivera
So the helpful tool here is money, right?
If they are looking for volunteers/paid staffers via Craigslist, their grassroots effort is hurting.
They are really pushing the CD3 race. I guess they figured the unemployed might be looking for jobs on Craig’s List.
