Jeb! committed electoral fraud for W in the 2000 election, and he needs to be called on it every day

Last edited Fri Jul 10, 2015, 04:33 AM - Edit history (5)

Remember Katherine Harris, Florida Secretary of State, responsible for running the election and head of the Bush campaign?

Remember the ballot boxes that went missing from black and overwhelmingly Democratic counties turned up later in ditches, way too late to be counted?

Have We Forgotten That Jeb Bush Committed Election Fraud in ‘Bush v Gore’ Scam?
http://www.ringoffireradio.com/2015/04/have-we-forgotten-that-jeb-bush-committed-election-fraud-in-bush-v-gore-scam/“There emerges a confluence of circumstances that indicates intimidation and harassment of the Florida voters, and that was set in motion long before the November election,” said Victoria Wilson of the US Commission on Civil Rights. In 2001, Wilson accused Florida officials of violating voting rights because over 14 percent of Florida black voters’ ballots weren’t counted.

Jeb Bush blamed for unfair Florida election
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2001/jun/06/uselections2000.usa
"Civil rights commission says minorities were disenfranchised by governor's 'gross dereliction' in ignoring problems"

Chads? Lawsuits? Bush v. Gore? That creepy pic of the Bush family smiling, none more than a casual W with no worries the night of the election.

Every life lost, every injured service member, everyone whose pension was lost, every bad damn thing that happened under W should be laid at the feet of Jeb! and his original sin. He should be ashamed, but since he isn't, he should be absolutely grilled on his part in handing the country to his brother, and all the pain and bloodshed and devastation that followed.

Every. damn. day.

People are not responsible for the actions of others usually, but this family seems to be a Johnny one-note when it comes to war in the Middle East.

12. When it comes to the Middle East, the Bush family's priorities are:
Fri Jul 10, 2015, 01:55 AM
Jul 2015

1: Their support and management of their "unique" arrangement with the House of Al Saud, and continued Saudi patronage;
2. The Bush family's often clandestine involvement in Middle East affairs; and
3. The "gatekeeper" role for petroleum companies, especially EXXON and Saudi Aramco.

The Bush family have been Saudi boot lickers for many, many years.

The family's clandestine links to American "dark" intelligence also seem to run deep.

And to note: during the 2000 election cycle, was one of the official Co-Chairs of the Florida Republican Committee to elect Bush*/Cheney*, and ran that Florida statewide campaign from her official Secretary of State offices in Tallahassee.

No conflict of interest there.

11. ELECTION fraud. Not voter fraud.

Voter fraud is what the Republicans want us to believe is a huge problem which is how they try to justify stricter voting laws making it more difficult for people to vote.

Election fraud is what the Republicans themselves like to perpetrate in order to steal elections.

It would be great if you edited your OP to change it to election fraud so as not to confuse it with and unintentionally perpetuate their false narrative.

There was a brief moment, almost 3 months, when the Democrats held majority and Conyers documented all that the Shrub did.

HRC says she will asking Jeb about his role in debates, but even before that, this needs to be brought up. She'd already made up her mind years ago it was a stolen election.

So those of who read or saw Palast and others presenting data, do know Shrub and Jeb conspired to do it. I remember Dan Rather's look of shock as he reported that the exit polls showed Gore won, then he had to retract.

They began a smear campaign on him just as they did with Florida and Gore. Behold what they did to us, irreparable damage, that will take decades to mitigate and reverse.

Thanks for nothing, BushCo.

Which is inefficient and slow, and the clear path to Dullardsville.

Funny how conservativism always tends to be so exactingly Soviet. The irony of the universe.
