Kerry hired a Republican attorney in Ohio!

[nascarblue]

I'm sorry but how many more times can Kerry show his Skull and Bones loyalty. Here's a guy who went in to the election up 10 points in the polls, only to be down ten points right before the debates. Here's a guy who walked with $51 million. Here's a guy who said he had "17,000 lawyers" working for him. Now after all this work Conyers and Jackson have done for him he splits town?

Now I find out that the one attorney Kerry hired for the two months in Ohio was a Republican???


The Kerry campaign, which raised millions of dollars to guarantee "every vote will be counted" in the 2004 election, has challenged the results in just one county, where a technician dismantled at least one voting machine prior to the recount. Daniel J. Hoffheimer, an attorney hired by the Kerry campaign has emphasized his belief that despite that challenge, "this presidential election is over. The Bush-Cheney ticket has won."

Hoffheimer is affiliated with Taft, Stettinius and Hollister, a Cincinnati firm with deep Republican ties to Ohio's current GOP governor, Bob Taft. Hoffheimer said "the Kerry-Edwards campaign has found no conspiracy and no fraud in Ohio," but more serious researchers continue to uncover plenty. While struggling to find the financial resources necessary for the legal challenge, the Election Protection team has continued to uncover deeply disturbing evidence of manipulation, theft and fraud that went unaudited by the official recount.

3. The ONE attorney hired by Kerry in Ohio ?

I guess the attorney who actually filed the challenge was a volunteer who walked in off the street. :silly:

4. He only had one guy in Ohio

I've read it on a number of blogs. Recountohio, Tompaine, Verified Voting, Green Party, etc.

5. The article in its entirety is really great

It notes, among many other important things, that (as we thought) there was indeed a cherry-picking of precincts, by BLACKWELL, for the 3% chosen for the so-called "recount". This article gives clear reasons why the recount was not a lawful one under Ohio law.

As for Hoffheimer, I seem to remember that he was the "Kerry attorney" who appeared on Countdown and caused such a (negative) stir on this forum. The heck with him--I'll trust Bob Fitrakis instead.

7. Hey, don't go introducing FACTS into the discussion!

You might debunk the original poster's conspiracy theory.

9. oops, sorry!

I'll stop witih the facts. SKULL and BONES, he's EVIL, I tell you!

I can't confirm, btw, that Janet is his wife, but I suspect there is a relation of some sort, because they both gave to some classical music benefit thing too that I found online - the odds of them having the same preferences for donations, the same last name, same zip code, and being completely unrelated are kinda low, I figure.

8. Heaven forbid someone look for details

Especially when they conflict with conspiracy theories. :eyes:
