Did White House Direct Phone Jamming Scheme?

A BUZZFLASH NEWS ALERT

From the DNC

Washington, DC - A new report suggests that the national Republican establishment--including the Republican National Committee, the National Republican Senatorial Committee, and even the Bush White House--may have had a role in the criminal Election Day phone jamming scheme that disenfranchised countless New Hampshire voters in 2002.

The Union Leader today reported that "court records show Ken Mehlman's office received more than 75 telephone calls from now-convicted phone-jam conspirator James Tobin from Sept. 30 to Nov. 22 of that year." At the time, Mehlman--the current RNC Chair--was White House political director. This raises the disturbing question of whether Tobin, who worked for the RNC and the NRSC at the time and has since been convicted on two criminal charges for his role in the scheme, discussed the plan with one of the President's most important political strategists.

Today's news also has important implications for other national Republican figures. At the time the phone jamming scheme was devised and implemented, Tobin's supervisor at the RNC was Terry Nelson, who Arizona Republican Senator John McCain recently hired as a senior strategist for his Political Action Committee. This means that McCain may have hired one of the key figures in the phone jamming scheme.

decades working alongside the dirty tricks operations of Lee Atwater and Karl Rove . No way is there any political strategy that Bush isn't aware of, including outing Plame.

BushInc is never about real governance, it's all about the campaign to convince people to trust their looting of the treasury and their constant attacks on those who would stop them. The complicit media helps them.

this from the same criminals that took my name off the voting logs in 2000,and the operatives working in the lines with cell phones claiming they couldn't get through.There I stood with a voters registration in my hand unable to cast a vote-changed my life I can tell you that.NEVER EVER EVER EVER AGAIN will I EVER vote for another republican as long as I'm on this earth.

These guys just can't help themselves. Well, if, as Cheney does, they all only listen to Faux news, they just don't know any better. My grandmother would be looking around for a good switch about right now. She didn't tolerate disobedience or bad behavior, for whatever reason. It's a good thing we were all pretty good kids when we visited her house. :)

they were going to do anything to ensure their victory!!

My bad.
