Liberal candidates lose Presidential elections when Republicans commit treason..

[Fumesucker]

That is the lesson of the 1968 and 1980 Presidential elections.

Richard Nixon was a traitor.

The new release of extended versions of Nixon's papers now confirms this long-standing belief, usually dismissed as a "conspiracy theory" by Republican conservatives. Now it has been substantiated by none other than right-wing columnist George Will.

Nixon's newly revealed records show for certain that in 1968, as a presidential candidate, he ordered Anna Chennault, his liaison to the South Vietnam government, to persuade them refuse a cease-fire being brokered by President Lyndon Johnson.

Nixon's interference with these negotiations violated President John Adams's 1797 Logan Act, banning private citizens from intruding into official government negotiations with a foreign nation.

Published as the 40th Anniversary of Nixon's resignation approaches, Will's column confirms that Nixon feared public disclosure of his role in sabotaging the 1968 Vietnam peace talks. Will says Nixon established a "plumbers unit" to stop potential leaks of information that might damage him, including documentation he believed was held by the Brookings Institute, a liberal think tank. The Plumbers' later break-in at the Democratic National Committee led to the Watergate scandal that brought Nixon down.

Behind Carter's back, the Reagan campaign worked out a deal with the leader of Iran's radical faction - Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khomeini - to keep the hostages in captivity until after the 1980 Presidential election.

This was nothing short of treason. The Reagan campaign's secret negotiations with Khomeini - the so-called "October Surprise" - sabotaged Carter and Bani-Sadr's attempts to free the hostages. And as Bani-Sadr told The Christian Science Monitor in March of this year, they most certainly "tipped the results of the [1980] election in Reagan's favor."

Not surprisingly, Iran released the hostages on January 20, 1981, at the exact moment Ronald Reagan was sworn into office.

1. Alternately, you can just rely on your brother to steal the election for you

and have a friendly Supreme Court sign off on it.

Too soon?

2. Not at all..

In the December 12 ruling by the US Supreme Court handing the election to George Bush, the Court committed the unpardonable sin of being a knowing surrogate for the Republican Party instead of being an impartial arbiter of the law. If you doubt this, try to imagine Al Gore's and George Bush's roles being reversed and ask yourself if you can conceive of Justice Antonin Scalia and his four conservative brethren issuing an emergency order on December 9 stopping the counting of ballots (at a time when Gore's lead had shrunk to 154 votes) on the grounds that if it continued, Gore could suffer "irreparable harm," and then subsequently, on December 12, bequeathing the election to Gore on equal protection grounds. If you can, then I suppose you can also imagine seeing a man jumping away from his own shadow, Frenchmen no longer drinking wine.

"Thanks for all your help."

4. The question is; How do we get these three incidents into a Court to be able to present evidence?

Can the liberals in the Democratic Party sue the US government to correct history? Some variation on Libel, Slander, or theft of intellectual property?

[McCamy Taylor]

5. The fact that everyone knows these facts and nothing has been done about them

speaks volumes about the presidency.

8. Not just that, but our nation at large. nt

9. We must look forward.....

and allow these crimes to continue

Americans can't deal with the things we have done so we must do nothing about it.

6. When two tribes go to war… The side willing to sacrifice the most usually wins.

Republicans will sacrifice the country to win.
What will we sacrifice to beat them?… Not even a few days in court?….. even if we lose in court, a point can be made over and over and over and…..

7. Remember when believing those things made you a tinfoil hatter? NT

10. Or when the leadership of their party actively works against them

--as in the case of McGovern. I've voted for the Democrat always, though over the past 40 years, they've refused more and more to work for the 99%. Yet should someone more populist than the elites like get the nomination, they are somehow not obligated to return the favor.

13. It's discouraging watching right wing distortions getting recced on DU

Even as they are being completely savaged and pointed out as the disingenuous distortions they are in the very thread that's getting the recs.

DU is but a sad shadow of what it once was.

11. Thom Hartmann has also covered this extensively on his RT show.

This is must see video, where Thom plays audio of a conversation between LBJ and Everett Dirksen (then Republican Senate leader), who admits Nixon's treason.
Jaw dropping stuff here...

12. Hmm-Presidential elections, treason, and sedition...

How does Boehner's invite to Bibi fit in?
