Cage Free Democracy?

Greg Palast has a post up over at Bradblog that puts context to Monica Goodling’s testimony, vis a vis “caging” voters:

Goodling testified that Gonzales’ Chief of Staff, Kyle Sampson, perjured himself, lying to the committee in earlier testimony. The lie: Sampson denied Monica had told him about Tim Griffin’s “involvement in ’caging’ voters” in 2004.

(snip)

But what’s ’caging’ and why is it such a dreadful secret that lawyer Sampson put his license to practice and his freedom on the line to cover Tim Griffin’s involvement in it? Because it’s a felony. And a big one.

(snip)

And now, not bothering to understand the astonishing revelation in Goodling’s confessional, they are missing the real story behind the firing of the US attorneys. It’s not about removing prosecutors disloyal to Bush, it’s about replacing those who refused to aid the theft of the vote in 2004 with those prepared to burgle it again in 2008.

Read the article. Send a link to your local rag, your congressman/woman—plots revealed, means unmasked, conspiracies spanked!

The monster at the door was here last week as well. Apparently, he’s come back for more virgins—something about emails and blood stains. I think we should just ignore him, maybe he’ll go away.

they knew perfectly well what they weren't asking

They were angling for Abu Gonzo, because it’s a Gentleman’s game.

The game is to check Bu$hCo-Cheneyburton, not destroy their Ring of Power, just win it.

Exposing the scam that the Amerikan preznitial $electoral process has become would dry up the money river, and nobody in the Beltway wants that.

No Hell below us
Above us, only sky

What a piece of work is man!

Phooey!

That was . . .

Man, sweet catch.

Letter to my congressman

Dear Xavier Becerra,

Here is a link to a story about what Monica Goodling was averring to during her testimony. The subject of “caging” voters has been either glossed over or ignored entirely, but when it comes to voter suppression this one is a doozy.

Please continue the good work in DC. We hope you are well, and trust you are safeguarding our Democracy and the Constitution that is its foundation.
