"Vallone came forward, saying he had started writing false letters when he was working for a Republican political campaign in 1994. During that campaign, staffers would write letters to the editor, which volunteers would sign and send in their names."

Someone got caught with their hand in the cookie jar.

Given the history, he's probably lying about which campaign he was working for when he began this little deception.

Somehow, I just knew this was a "bash the republican" story from the first line.

You have to know that there are as many, or more, Dem's who do the same thing. But this is the first story on this subject that I've seen, and surprise, surprise, surprise, the evil doer is a Republican.

If this guy started as a dimocRAT this doesn't even warrant a story.

It's one of the oldest tricks in the book.

Hi Rebelbase, LTNS!!

This has to be BS, implying that this guy is a Republican. Here is why:

1. As a subscriber to the CCT, which is not as obliviously left wing biased as the SF Comical), the Letters section usually runs 5 or 6 to one left over right. (I have had three to four letters published in 6 years. At least twice that many have been rejected.)

2. Why do they not come right out and say which side he supports? Note the wording, it implies he is a Republican supporter but does not come out and say so. They also do not give any hints as to the subject matter of his writings.

3. I have also long noticed a pattern in the letters supporting the Dems, indicating to me they are responding to the talking points of the left (move-on or other similar groups).

If they had only put half the effort into one of the Clinton scandals and its spin miesters.

Nothing wrong with this. Unfortunately, creeps like Vallone ruin things for honest people.
