Republicans angry 'cause their chairman was convicted for phone-jamming |
Two Republicans have pleaded guilty, and a third official was
convicted last month, of conspiring to have repeated telephone calls
made to Democratic and firefighters union phone banks to block their
efforts to get voters to the polls.

Phone jamming: GOP fires back
By JOHN DISTASO
Senior Political Reporter
The state Republican Party is charging that a Democratic lawsuit
against it for an illegal phone jamming operation in 2002 was actually
part of a national Democratic plan to "advance their political agenda"
in the 2004 general election.
The state Democratic chairman calls the claim baseless and "pretty
sad."
The conviction last month of a former high-ranking Republican official
for conspiring to jam state Democratic Party and firefighters union
get-out-the-vote telephone banks on Election Day 2002 has re-focused
attention on an 18-month-old civil suit filed by the Democrats seeking
damages for the illegal GOP operation.
The case is expected to go to trial later this year, and a series of
motions have been recently filed.

The Repugs are mad because their chairman was caught violating the
law. Weeeell, you can understand that, can't you? Ya can't? I'm sure
the Repugs can explain it to you.

Can wait for the damages award.
Can you say 200 million dollars?

"WAAAA! We can't even cheat in elections anymore without being taken to
court by them Big Bad Democrats. WAAAA!"
New Hampshire voters don't put up with that kind of *****, Republicans
(cheating, getting caught, then sniveling about it). But you'll find that
out soon enough.
