The UpTake reports that a woman who recently challenged Democratic congressional candidate Steve Sarvi about oil drilling in Alaska is really a paid part of U.S. Rep. John Kline’s campaign — and that she didn’t disclose that role publicly. Diana Bratlie’s claim to fame is her discovery last election cycle that a volunteer for Kline’s challenger had tried to get on a Kline email list without revealing his ties to Democrat Coleen Rowley’s campaign. She wrote that the man, David Bailey, used “false pretenses and deception to misrepresent himself.” Bratlie, who has showed up at several of Kline’s challenger’s events, has raked in more than $50,000 for work on Kline’s behalf.

It’s a shame that the routine dishonesty of Republicans politicians and pundits has reached down to the grassroots like that. It’s as if she’s so sure she’s right, that anything she does is OK, even lying about what Sarvi had just said.

I just want you to know that I’d disrupt one of Sarvi’s events for $50k. Nothing against Steve, he’s a really good guy, but that’s a lot of moolah. Heck, I’d do it for $20k. Maybe $10k. OK, $5k is my last offer, seeing as there’s some principle involved here. But no lower than $5k.
