House pushes for ‘phone jamming’ probe of White House.
Today, members of the House Judiciary Committee sent a letter to the Justice Department seeking answers about “phone jamming” and voter suppression tactics in past elections. In particular, the letter pushed for an aggressive investigation into White House participation, expressing concern that “the FBI Special Agent working this matter allegedly was instructed not to follow investigative leads back to Washington.”

Another letter to the so called Justice Department.
“Huh, the door on this postal box won’t open, seems like it’s all jammed up with mail…..”
October 3rd, 2007 at 4:26 pmDemocrats, stop writing GD letters. Take action. Subpoena and then use Inherent Contempt. It is the only tool you have. I am beginning to think that you like things the way they are because you are doing nothing to change things.
October 3rd, 2007 at 4:27 pmThis won’t go anywhere. Dems don’t have the balls to really do what needs to be done. Impeach the Chimp.
October 3rd, 2007 at 4:28 pmDon’t start something that you know you won’t finish!
October 3rd, 2007 at 4:31 pmDo they really think we believe them anymore?
October 3rd, 2007 at 4:38 pmyes! finally!….. sarcasm ON.
October 3rd, 2007 at 4:39 pm…and another letter gets wadded up and tossed into a White House wastebasket…
October 3rd, 2007 at 4:41 pmWhy do they even bother ? Of course that is easier than actually getting our troops home or writting a healthcare bill. Gee, answered my own question.
October 3rd, 2007 at 4:47 pmwow… another letter… gosh… color me unimpressed… who are they writing those letters FOR…? better yet, WHY…?
And, yes, I DO take it personally
October 3rd, 2007 at 4:48 pmWell, I was going to comment, but everyone else sums up my feelings perfectly. Not surprising, though…
October 3rd, 2007 at 4:49 pmF*ck! Start impeaching and issuing contempt citations already…
Did you wimps hold your breath and stomp 3 times with this letter too?
How freeking long are these wimps going to let this crap slide?
October 3rd, 2007 at 4:49 pmAll trails lead back to Karl Rove’s shop on this one.
October 3rd, 2007 at 4:59 pmToo bad it’s the House Judicary committee, If it was the Senate we’d get that picture of Leahy frowning to go along with the letter, that would have showed em.
October 3rd, 2007 at 5:05 pmAnother letter, great. The Dems just gave up their request for pre-Iraq war memos. Another cave, another letter, how embarrassing.
October 3rd, 2007 at 5:12 pmNot even a stern letter, geesh.
Remember the image of Rove running a “command center” from the White House dining room?
This picture?
October 3rd, 2007 at 5:38 pmMy House Rep. Calvert will vote to protect the White
October 3rd, 2007 at 5:55 pmHouse because he was found in a car having sex with
a Prostitute who is a druggie. Now talk about Christian
Religious Values Calvert has while doing his criminal acts. To few honest Reps. left in Washington.
I’m sure that letter will get them right down to business. Throw the bums out!
October 3rd, 2007 at 5:58 pmSomething else the non-opposition party won’t get. How in the hell could you waste all that energy, all that hope, and all that trust that was bestowed on you in 06.
The Scaredy-crats are just one disappointment after the other, and for some that suits them just fine, hell their still gonna be rich and privileged and all of us poor, begging, peasants can just kiss their asses.
There is no other explanation for this type of failure except fear, ineptness, complicity, apathy, and a I just dont give a F attitude.
It is time to look elsewhere, and I am dead serious about that.
We cannot afford to leave our country in the hands of EITHER party, it is time for EVERYONE who has a love for this country and a genuine love for their fellow man/woman no matter what party affiliation to RISE UP and GET INVOLVED. We fight for them but they dont fight for us. We fight against each other while they sit fat and happy laughing at us.
WAKE UP!!!
RIP

The Republicans have already been convicted of this on one end of the phone lines (New Hampshire, I believe). Rumors were flying that Ken (another closeted Republican gay) Mehlman running this operation out of the White House. Surely, Karl Rove’s fingers are all over this one, and I’m not talking about Kenny boy’s butt.
