When an employee of Link Strategies was arrested Friday for trying to steal the Iowa Secretary of State’s identity, it was not the first time the Democrat consultant group was investigated for criminal activity aimed at tearing down a Republican opponent. Back in 2002, while Link Strategies was running Tom Harkin’s senatorial campaign, the group was involved in an infamous “taping” scandal.
The 2002 incident became one of the most talked about stories in Iowa politics that year. A Harkin campaign staffer arranged to have a supporter tape-record a private strategy session conducted by Harkin’s Republican opponent, Greg Ganske. The staffer then turned a transcript of the meeting over to a Des Moines Register reporter. That incident quickly turned into a black eye for the Harkin campaign and Link Strategies.

More Democrat dirty tricks
“it was not the first time the Democrat consultant group was investigated for criminal activity “
Dirty tricks, indeed. May I assume no democrat ever goes to trial or imprisoned for “illegal” activities?
As I am fond of saying, we could save a lot of time and misery by simply locking all of them up.
If they were sane and honest they wouldn’t be democrats.

Too bad the Polk Co. Attorney and our AG are all Democats. As a matter of fact, AG Miller is listed as one who used Link services.
Accurate descriptions.
Why is Tom Miller reelected time after time ?
He’s been in office for three decades or more...
(Wow! Hollering like a Democrat is sure easy. I've no doubt that the Register, KCCI, WHO and the rest of the media will be all over this, eh? Bueller? Bueller?)
Mr. niteowl77
Darned good question and we had a good candidate last time, too.
It looks to me that Iowans are lazy voters and just continue to reelect incumbents.
However, SOS Schultz did defeat incumbent RAT Mauro, which shocked the daylights out of me.
Of course it is Schultz who they are now willing to break the law to get out of office. Crooks!!
