Phone scandal may have Bush connection

[Rose Siding]

There’s a good reason why the Bush-Cheney 2004 campaign was reluctant to toss overboard its New England regional chairman, Jim Tobin, over his alleged involvement in the phone jamming of Democratic get-out-the-vote offices in Nashua and five other locales on Election Day 2002.

Why?

Now that Tobin has stepped down from that post voluntarily but denied any involvement, it looks even easier for the Democrats to try to connect the dots - rightly or wrongly - that vote suppression history was in danger of repeating itself 16 days from now.

Let’s start this game of counting connections with an emphatic declaration that no evidence exists the Bush-Cheney team was revving up a vote suppression effort of any kind.

That doesn’t mean the other side can’t make it look that way, and here’s how Tobin’s name makes things smell.

Democratic Party Chairwoman Kathy Sullivan risked everything from public embarrassment to a post-election complaint for unethical legal conduct by claiming Tobin was the go-between who helped set up the phone jamming paid for with New Hampshire Republican State Committee funds...........

2. Lol!

Mind-numbing how much they've gotten away with.

I truly believe it's because small town America does the same kind of dirty-deals and get away with it all the time. As long as you go to the right churches, and the right rotary clubs and donate to these two charitable organizations, people won't get into your private business.
