Compassionate conservatism
I guess that's what you call it when you recruit black folks from homeless shelters in Philadelphia for $100 each and send them to black precincts in Prince George's County, Maryland, to hand out phony "Democratic" fliers for Republican candidates and claiming falsely that they have the endorsement of local black leaders. Some of the workers claim they weren't even told they were going to be working for Republican candidates.
And no, it's not a rogue operation; the Governor's wife greeted the buses as they came in.
In any case, it was a nice gesture for Maryland Republicans to pump money into the Philadelphia economy since--as far as they're aware--there aren't any people living in poverty here in Maryland.
