Just found this out about Ashley Todd...it gets even better.
Apparently she was a Paultard before her "dedication to take one for the team for McCain/Palin". (no offense intended to the mentally retarded...who are usually sweet people...unlike folks like Todd.)



Oh Ron Paul supporters...remember that there are liberal geeks too...we just stand a much higher chance of getting laid.

1. Or working the Pauls on behalf of the CRNC.
She seems to have enjoyed the bullshit game a lot.

5. She was asked to leave the Paul campaign for unethical tactics, according to
this Pittsburgh newspaper article.

http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/08299/922849-53.stm/

...snip

Ms. Todd's job as a field representative for the College Republican National Committee brought her to Pittsburgh about two weeks ago to recruit college students. She had worked for the committee since August. Yesterday, the organization fired her.

Ashley Barbera, the organization's communications director, said workers initially were concerned for Ms. Todd's safety.

"We are as upset as anyone to learn of her deceit. Ashley must take full responsibility for her actions," she said.

In March, Ms. Todd was asked to leave a grass-roots group of Ron Paul supporters in Brazos County, Texas, group leader Dustan Costine said. He said Ms. Todd posed as a supporter of former Arkansas governor and presidential candidate Mike Huckabee and called the local Republican committee seeking information about its campaign strategies.

"She would call the opposing campaign and pretend she was on their campaign to get information," Mr. Costine said last night. "We had to remove her because of the tactics she displayed. After that we had nothing to do with her."


About a month earlier, he said, Ms. Todd sent an e-mail to the Ron Paul group saying her tires were slashed and that campaign paraphernalia had been stolen from her car because she supported Mr. Paul.

13. actually, your last paragraph was the most telling. She claimed her tires were slashed...
.. so she's been there, done that, with this shit. I don't know that she's mentally ill, just very very sad and deceitful.

17. The interesting thing is she got help being photographed and helped
being publicized by Repos.

She didn't take or distribute the photo and story, the PA Repo party did.

8. It's not unusual for "True Believers" to switch causes,
and to get a better understanding of them check out Eric Hoffer*.

15. not sure if she is... unless a personality disorder qualifies as a mental illness
Edited on Sun Oct-26-08 12:03 PM by npincus
she is a pathological liar, for sure. Impulsive, grandiose, a sociopath. A crimiinal mind. Are criminals all mentally ill? I don't think so. I think she has at least one personality disorder, but is fully aware of the difference between right and wrong, and probably able to choose whether to engage in such deceit. I think she is likely to engage in this behavior for the rest of her life.

10. Saw that image on Wonkette
Notice the wig. Is this during the period when she was lying about having leukemia?

Sad girl.

19. AWWWW! She wanted to run as a write-in for TX gov in '06
Edited on Sun Oct-26-08 12:23 PM by junofeb
How cute :puke:

Her claims of vandalism to her car suggest a pattern of behavior, an MO if you will. I doubt she's even much of a political repub, more of a 'pity me' personality who latched on to repubs because of the basic self-centerness of the phliosophy.

Why do I have the feeling that in another time and place she'd be turning her neighbors into the gestapo or stazi?
