Bush campaign chairman for New England indicted on four felony counts
I apologize if this has already been posted recently. Apparently, federal prosecutors have obtained the testimony from two GOP operatives involved who say that James Tobin conspired to tamper with the 2002 Senatorial race in New Hampshire. Considering the great amount of money and high-powered lawyer time being poured into Tobin's defense, you wonder if this might not go higher up into the Bush Administration.

"...WASHINGTON - Despite a zero-tolerance policy on tampering with voters, the Republican Party has quietly paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to provide private defense lawyers for a former Bush campaign official charged with conspiring to keep Democrats from voting in New Hampshire.

James Tobin, the president's 2004 campaign chairman for New England, is charged in New Hampshire federal court with four felonies accusing him of conspiring with a state GOP official and a GOP consultant in Virginia to jam Democratic and labor union get-out-the-vote phone banks in November 2002.

A telephone firm was paid to make repeated hang-up phone calls to overwhelm the phone banks in New Hampshire and prevent them from getting Democratic voters to the polls on Election Day 2002, prosecutors allege. Republican John Sununu won a close race that day to be New Hampshire's newest senator. ..."

3. I'm not shocked at all.....
Finally they are getting their dues, for Votergate.

New Hampshire, and so many other races became Diebolded and phone-jammed.

And for what, I ask?

To support a completely illegal invasion, sponsored by AIPAC and their government. And to support at least three more completely illegal invasions and de-stabilize the middle east.

Time to look at the underlying issue behind the vote fraud, massive destruction of civil rights, and illegal wars:

The issue is the world's dependance on oil, and it always has been.
