2. WHY HAS IT TAKEN SO LONG?!?!?!?

This should NOW be front page headlines. Maybe Olbermann and Stewart and Colbert will get it on the map. THEN WE WILL HAVE IMPEACHMENT!

Bush/Cheney/Rove are traitors!

3. And Congress is JUST NOW INVESTIGATING!

'Caging' a big part of the republican u.s. attorney's 'scandal,' I think.

AND caging/voter suppression only a small part of what they did in '04; the rest was manipulating 'real' numbers with tabulators.

NOTICE the timing of this? Reps bet against Dem success in uncovering Rep crap until WAY late; they're able to do it all again, and they have an awful lot to lose if they lose.

4. Tim Griffin, vote cager, interim USA after Cummins was fired. Was 2000 stolen

Edited on Fri May-23-08 12:10 AM by L. Coyote

by voter caging?

Was Griffin's appointment payola for voter caging in 2000 in Florida?
How many voters were kept from voting for Al Gore in 2000 in Florida?
Did felonious tactics prevent Gore from a clear victory. Most likely.

I won't repeat all the details here, since they are under compilation in this thread,
prompted by the news that the RNC is preparing to hire Tim Griffin anew.
Not likely, is my guess!! Too much felonious baggage, but, hey, that did no prevent him becoming a USA. So, go figure.

TPM: You Just Can't Keep Tim Griffin Down = RNC rehires vote-cager.

6. Conyers was trying to investigate in 2005

The Democrats got chairmanships only 16 months ago. I don't think moss has been gathering on Conyers or many of the other new Dem committee chairs. They have 7 years of illegality to investigate.
