Bush: Dems don't support troops but I'll keep soldiers' votes from counting

[KansDem]

A confidential campaign directed by GOP party chiefs in October 2004 sought to challenge the ballots of tens of thousands of voters in the last presidential election, virtually all of them cast by residents of Black-majority precincts.
Files from the secret vote-blocking campaign were obtained by BBC Television Newsnight, London. They were attached to emails accidentally sent by Republican operatives to a non-party website.

One group of voters wrongly identified by the Republicans as registering to vote from false addresses: servicemen and women sent overseas.

Here’s how the scheme worked: The RNC mailed these voters letters in envelopes marked, “Do not forward”, to be returned to the sender. These letters were mailed to servicemen and women, some stationed overseas, to their US home addresses. The letters then returned to the Bush-Cheney campaign as “undeliverable.”

The lists of soldiers of “undeliverable” letters were transmitted from state headquarters, in this case Florida, to the RNC in Washington. The party could then challenge the voters’ registration and thereby prevent their absentee ballots being counted.

You gotta admit it: Bush and the GOP have a perfect scam going. Accuse Democrats of not supporting the troops but then suppress their Constitutional right to vote.

HAHAHA!!! Keep wearing that American-flag lapel pin, Shrub, Joe and Jane Sixpack still believe you're acting in their best interests!


Fuck you, America! I got my $100 billion, so FUCK YOU!!!
